GAME PLAY THE DRAW


WHAT IS IT? The draw is a chance to gain possession. The centers stand with


one foot toeing the line and each opponent must have both of her feet on the same side of the line behind her crosse. Sticks are held above hip level and back-to-back so each players’ stick is between the ball and the goal she is defending


FUNDAMENTALS


QUICK HANDS Quickness allows the center to push or pull the ball up fi rst and gain possession.


STICKS UP Centers must draw (pull/push) their sticks up.


DEVELOPMENTAL


U9/U11/U13/U15 - a maximum of three players from each team may be between the restraining lines during the draw until the whistle blows. All other players must be below either restraining line and must not be in violation of the restraining line rule.


U9/U11/U13 - If a four or more goal differential exists, then the team with fewer goals will have the option to take an indirect free position after a goal at the center line instead of taking a draw unless waived by the coach of the trailing team.


The coach of the trailing team may choose to continue to draw.
