Appendix A
DEFINITION OF TERMS ATTEMPTED PASS occurs when a player attempts to pass using the mechanics of a throwing motion in the specific direction of a teammate.
BLOCKING takes place when a player moves into the path of a player with the ball without giving that player a chance to stop or change direction causing contact. When a player is running to receive the ball, a “blind side” defense player must give her enough time and/or space to change her direction.
BODY CHECKING is a technique whereby a defender moves with an opponent without body contact occurring, following each movement of the opponent’s body and crosse with her body and causing her to slow down, change direction, or pass off.
CHARGING takes place when the player with the ball pushes into, shoulders, or backs into and makes bodily contact with her opponent who has already established her position (though not necessarily stationary).
CHECKING is an attempt to dislodge the ball from an opponent’s crosse by using controlled crosse to crosse contact.
CLEAR is any action taken by a player within the goal circle to pass or carry the ball with her crosse out of the goal circle.
CLEAR SPACE indicates the space between players which is free of crosses or any parts of the body.
COACHING AREA is the area on the bench/table side of the field extending from the substitution area to their end line, and even with the level of the scorer’s table extended (at least 4 meters from the sideline), and does not include the area directly behind the scorer’s table.
CRITICAL SCORING AREA indicates an area at the end of the field where the attacking team is shooting for goal. Its boundaries are 12 meters (13.1 yards) in front of the goal circle to the end line and 12 meters (13.1 yards) to each side of the goal circle. No extra lines will be marked on the field and this will be called in the judgment of the official.
