A shot will be defined as a ball propelled toward the goal by an offensive player in an attempt to score, either by being thrown from a crosse, kicked or otherwise physically directed. The rationale for all of the changes is to simplify the game for fans and participants and to create action in attacking and defending the goal, which is the most exciting part of the sport. I encourage coaches to continue to contact committee members with suggestions and concerns, especially those coaches who participate in fall games that use the shot clock. The lacrosse committee is composed of nine members, one of which, the secretary-rules editor has no vote. The committee includes five Division I members, one Division II member and two Division III members.
All members are either active coaches or athletic administrators.
