PENALTIES OVERVIEW


WHAT IS IT? The penalty for fouls is a timed suspension of the offending


player or awarding the ball to the team that was fouled.


WHEN a foul occurs


WHERE anywhere on or around the playing field


WHO the official indicates all players involved WHY to keep the game safe and fair


FUNDAMENTALS


TECHNICAL FOULS Are fouls of a less serious nature than personal fouls and result in a change of possession or a 30-second penalty.


PLAY-ON On a loose ball technical foul, an offended player may be disadvantaged by stopping play so the official may will signal “play-on” and hold the whistle until a situation of advantage (gained or lost) is complete.


DEVELOPMENTAL


Youth lacrosse must focus on the development of stick skills, team play, and sportsmanship.


U11 AND BELOW - No body checking of any kind is allowed


U13 & U15 - Body checking is permitted, however take-out checks are never permitted


PERSONAL FOULS Are individual infractions of a serious nature and can result in a 1-3 minute penalty or in an extreme case, expulsion from the game.


SLOW WHISTLE When team with ball is fouled and keeps possession, official throws a flag indicating a slow whistle and play continues until possession is lost or ball leaves the goal area.


PLAY SAFE


Take-out check – any check where a player lowers his head or shoulder with the force and intent to put the other player on the ground.


Strict enforcement of rules governing illegal body contact, unnecessary roughness, unsportsmanlike conduct and slashing is important.


At the younger levels, rules should be tightly enforced to ensure safe play is learned early.
