Mom's out there who may be a little confused while watching your son or daughter play, I have included this page which discusses the rules of the game. I've also included a picture of the referree signals and the dimensions of the field. Hope this helps to better enjoy the sport that your child loves. The object of the game is to shoot the ball into the opponent's goal. The team scoring the most goals wins.
Teams change sides between periods.
Each team is permitted two timeouts each half. The team winning the coin toss chooses the end of the field it wants to defend first. Lacrosse begins with a face-off. The ball is placed between the sticks of two squatting players at the center of the field. The official blows the whistle to begin play.
