New Changes for the 2019 Girls High School Lacrosse Season

•  Starting and Stopping the Play
•  The whistle is used to stop and start play with the exception of SELF-START.
• Following a whistle blown for a foul outside the critical scoring area, the player who is awarded the free position, after coming to a stop, may continue the play without waiting for an additional whistle from a settled stance (both feet stationary, on the ground and the ball positioned in the head of the Crosse)
•  The offending player shall move 4 meters from the player taking the free position directed by the official. All players must move 4 meters away from the free position.
• The play will begin once the ball carrier steps or passes the ball.
• Self-Start is not an option when:
• The game clock is stopped
• There is a restraining line violation
• The foul is in the critical scoring area
• There is an alternating possession
• There is an inadvertent whistle
• A goal is scored 

Mandatory: Please bring your signed handbook page to tryouts. The handbook is posted on the ERZ Team Website. Must be signed and turned in to Coach Stephanie before playing in any games.
