Any check to the body is a cardable offense. Any check towards the body is also an illegal check. Checks deemed to be recklass will be carded.
Attackers cannot shoot thru a defender just because they think they are in shooting space. This is a cardable offense and if the defender is also in shooting space, it will be an offsetting foul.
If the need for alternate possession arises, the first AP will go to the team listed first on the schedule for that game.
Everyone is here to get better and enjoy a great day of lax. Please play with a respect for the spirit of the game, your opponents, coaches, and the officials.
If a goalie takes a shot to the head, the coach will be required to okay the player to continue or remove her to see the trainer. If any player exhibits any concussion symptoms, they are required to be removed form the game until they can be evaluated by a trainer.

Rules and Game Procedures
Every team gets 3 games and games will consist of one, 30 minute period-there will be no halftime and all games are running clock. We will play 7 field players plus a goalie.
Teamsshould be prepared for a traditional stick check prior to their first game of the day so plan accordingly. This is the only stick check that will be performed unless a request is made.

All games will run off a central horn and teams should be ready to start their game on time. If a team isn't ready to go at game start, the initial draw control will be awarded to their opponent. Officials will whistle a warning to take the field in the final 30 seconds before each half. If both teams are ready to go early, officials will begin the game.
All fields will be marked for small-sided play. Each goal will have a goal circle and 8 meter only and will be marked on the field. The half-field line which will serve as the restraining line, will be marked by cones. All players must be approx 10 meters from the draw control until the whistle is blown. Teams must keep 2 players behind the restraining line at all times.
With the exception of the initial draw control of each half, all other goalie saves or goals scored will result in a clear.
