All players must be behind half court when their team is on defense. Penalties will be served in the penalty area. Timing will not start until the player gets there and will start over if the player leaves the area before time expires. First infraction will be a warning, second and subsequent infractions will result in a minor penalty. Sticks will be inspected by the referees, their decision on suitability for play is final.
Gloves are optional.
Games will be played weather permitting and are generally only canceled due to heavy, sustained rain.
