  3. About Lacrosse…… What is Lacrosse ? • Women's lacrosse is a popular version of lacrosse, a team sport of Native American origin played with netted sticks that are used to throw, catch and shoot a small rubber ball into the opponent's goal. • The first women’s lacrosse game was played in 1890 at the St Leonards School in Scotland, the first women's lacrosse team in the United States was established at Bryn Mawr School in Baltimore, Maryland. • Women’s lacrosse is played with a team of 12 players; one of the players is usually the goalkeeper. The duration of the game is 60 minutes, two halves of 30 minutes each. Each team is allowed one 90-second team time-out per half. Time-outs may be taken after a goal has been scored.

  4. Women’s Gear • Women's lacrosse rules are specifically designed to allow less physical contact between players. As a result of the lack of contact, the only protective equipment required is eyewear and a mouthguard • The pockets of women's sticks are shallower than those of the men, making the ball harder to catch and more difficult to shoot at high speed.

  5. How Long? • Women's games are played in two 30-minute halves. These 30 minutes are running time, except for the last two minutes, during which time stops when the whistle is blown (This can differ when playing high school or middle school games). While the whistle is blown, players are not allowed to move.

  6. Basic Rules • Women play with three attackers (or "homes"), five midfielders (or "middies"), three defenders (starting from the back, called "point", "cover point", and "third man"), and one goalie. • Seven players play attack at one time and seven defenders are present. • There is a restraining line that keeps the other four players (plus the goalie) from going into the attack. If those players cross the line, they are considered offsides and a penalty is given. • In women's lacrosse, players may only check if the check is directed away from the ball carrier's head. In women's lacrosse, players are not allowed to touch the ball with their body or cover the ball with their stick in order to scoop it into their stick or protect the ball from picked up by an opponent.

  7. The Field

  8. Major and Minor Fouls • There are two types of fouls in woman's lacrosse, major and minor. When a minor foul is committed anywhere on the field, the player who fouled is set four meters to whichever side she was guarding the person she obstructed. If a major foul occurs outside of the 12 meter fan or eight meter arc, the fouler must stand four meters behind the player she fouled. • In women's lacrosse, players are not allowed to touch the ball with their body or cover the ball with their stick in order to scoop it into their stick or protect the ball from picked up by an opponent.

  9. Fouls inside the Arc and Fan • There are two different surroundings around the goal on both sides of the field. The eight meter arc and the 12 meter fan. When committing a major foul inside either of these areas, all players that were previously inside the surrounding must take the most direct route out. The player who was fouled now moves to the nearest hash mark that is located around the edges of the arc or fan and either takes position to shoot or to pass (although, most often to shoot). • The most important rule in women's lacrosse is shooting space, this is a violation of the rules. It occurs when a defender moves in at a bad angle on the offender while shooting in the 8 meter arc. This is a dangerous play made by the defender.

US Lacrosse has posted on their website, a great study by the American Journal of Sports Medicine, on Lacrosse Injuries. http://www.uslacrosse.org/news/2005/injurystudy.phtml Most Common: • Ankle Sprains • Bruising – that ball hurts • Cuts • Muscle pulls • Hand injuries • Shoulder • Knee More Severe: • Concussion • Broken Bones • Spinal Cord Injuries
