Appendix C
EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATIONS Note: The crosse for the 6U and 8U divisions are not required to meet the equipment specifications of Appendix C.
All Field Crosses
SECTION 1. The primary intent of field crosse specifications is to ensure that the ball moves freely within all parts of the head and pocket so that the ball may be dislodged from a crosse without an excessively forceful check. A crosse may be deemed illegal even though it meets all technical specifications if its design is a clear attempt to circumvent the intent of the rules. NOTE: Examples of clear attempts to circumvent the intent of the rules include but are not limited to placing the top shooting string close to the scoop and the bottom shooting string in such a position as to create a “lip” or “cup” in an effort to control the draw and placing two shooting strings close in distance to channel the ball between the shooting strings and the scoop in an effort to control the draw.
SECTION 2. The head of the crosse shall be constructed of wood, plastic, fiberglass, nylon, leather, rubber, gut, and/or any other synthetic material. The handle of the crosse shall be constructed of wood, metal alloy or other composite material and must be nominally straight. An exception is that a handle may deviate up to, but not more than, 10 degrees from straight for the last part of the shaft that is within 6.5 cm from the ball stop when the handle is mounted in the head. Recessed screws must be used to attach the head of a plastic/molded crosse to the handle. The end of all handles shall have an end cap, be taped or be sanded smooth if wood or solid composite material. The crosse shall not have sharp or protruding parts or edges and shall not be dangerous to players in any way. US Lacrosse approved heads may not be altered. Prohibited alterations to heads include but are not limited to: baking, drilling additional holes, breaking and/or reconstructing with adhesive material, stretching, pinching and shaving.
SECTION 3. The overall length of the crosse shall be 90 cm minimum to 110 cm maximum. End caps are included when measuring the overall length of a crosse.
