A safe and positive playing experience starts by knowing the rules and
how to appropriately and effectively coach, officiate and play the game.

Women's lacrosse differs greatly from men's lacrosse and should not be played or taught the same way.
Learn the differences to keep the game safe.
 

To keep things safe, all lacrosse participants have a responsibility to know the rules...parents and players included! Most injuries occur as a result of rule infractions. Know the rules and participate in US Lacrosse's campaigns for fair and safe play.
