The rules are crucial when playing
lacroose. First, everyone must
have the right equipment in order to step on a field. This includes
helmet, gloves, mouth piece, stick, arm pads,and proper foot wear. Once
this established, then game rules come intoplay. One rule that usually
gets a flag is offsides. It is mandatory to
have three attackmen on one side and three defensmen with a goalie on
the other at all times.
Middies can sub for other positions when
non-middies cross to the other side. With checking and hitting, there
is no hits to the head or back unless the players turn into it.
On each side there is a crease where the goalie stands to block shots,
no offense players are allowed in that crease. Morever, the is a
restraing box where players sub in and out during the game which is
located right next to sidelines where the coaches stand.
If a player
doesnt sub through the box, its a flag. In addition, their is another
bo located at either end of the field were once a ball is cleared from
the other side, the ball must enter that box before a time limit
runs out. These are the major rules that must be enforced. However,
there is the small one like keeping your mouth piece in, no fighting,
or illegal sticks. These rules are important when playing the game of
lacrosse and understanding why flags are thrown. For information click
