Girls' Divisions
K, 1st, & 2nd Grade
The game will adhere to USA Lacrosse rules but with some key modifications. It will be a 4 versus 4 setup with no goalies, played on a shorter field spanning approximately 60 to 70 yards. Each half begins with a draw, while all remaining players stand within an 8-meter arc until possession is gained. After a goal, the opposing team will clear the ball up the field. Checking is not allowed, and the 3-second good defense rule applies. One-on-one defense is mandatory in the midfield, and there's a two-pass rule on the offensive side. Additionally, there are no offsides in this adapted version of the game.
Players who receive a yellow card are required to exit the field for a 2-minute period, with a substitute taking their place. If a player accumulates a second yellow card, they will be suspended for the remainder of that ongoing game but will be eligible to participate in the subsequent game.
3rd & 4th Grade
The game will adhere to USA Lacrosse rules with a few adjustments: it's an 8 versus 8 setup with 7 field players and a goalie, played on a shorter field spanning 60-70 yards. After each goal, a draw occurs, while the remaining players stay within the 8-meter area until possession is established. Modified checking is allowed, and the 3-second good defense call applies. An 8-meter arc (no 12 meter) is used, and a mercy rule comes into play after 4 goals, allowing the losing team the option for a draw if desired. Official offsides are not tracked, though coaches can agree on a 2-back rule before the game starts. Moreover, an offensive side pass attempt is required during play.
Players shown a yellow card are mandated to leave the field for 2 minutes WITHOUT a substitute. If a player earns a second yellow card, they will be suspended for the rest of that game but remain eligible to participate in the following game.
5th & 6th Grade
The game will largely adhere to USA Lacrosse rules with a few adjustments: it will be a 12 versus 12 setup, comprising 11 field players and a goalie, played on a full field. Traditional lineup occurs at the draw, followed by a draw after each goal. A mercy rule is in effect, and transitional checking will be applied.
Players shown a yellow card are mandated to leave the field for 2 minutes WITHOUT a substitute. If a player earns a second yellow card, they will be suspended for the rest of that game but remain eligible to participate in the following game.
