VIOLATIONS


DANGEROUS PROPELLING: players can’t pass, throw, bat, flick or shoot the ball in a dangerous or uncontrolled manner.


ILLEGAL CRADLE: players cannot cradle too close to their head or body so as to make an otherwise legal check impossible.


WARDING OFF: cradling with one hand and using the other arm to ward off a defender.


COVERING: a player may not guard a ground ball with her foot or stick.


HAND BALL: the only player that may play the ball with her hand is the goalkeeper when she is in her goal circle.


SQUEEZE HEAD OF CROSSE: a player may not use her hand or body to keep the ball in her stick.


BODY BALL: a player may not allow any part of her body to intentionally impede or affect the ball’s direction.


BEST PRACTICES


Passing, catching, shooting, ground ball and dodging skills should be emphasized at all practices and before games.


Get instruction on common skill errors and how to correct them through the USL Coaching Education Program.


PERSPECTIVES


P Stick skills will improve in time with practice.


C Hand-eye coordination varies from player to player and develops with practice. Exercise patience with new players.


C Mistakes happen. Tell the girls to pick-up dropped balls and just keep playing.


O Covering the ball is frequent on ground ball pick-ups and should be discouraged and called when there is a disadvantage to the opponent.
