Basic Rules of Game

Lacrosse is a full contact sport but, like all sports, there are rules. Each player must have lacrosse gloves, elbow pads, shoulder pads, a helmet and a stick that meets the standards of the NCAA. If a player commits a penalty, any form of unsportsmanlike-like conduct, they must go into the penalty box for a time period of thirty seconds to two minutes. If there is a penalty the team plays man down until the player's penalty gets resolved. If the ball is thrown to another player and he misses it the ball is given to the other team. If the ball is shot and it misses the cage, the player closest to the ball before it goes out team's gets the ball. there is no shot clock in lacrosse so as long as the team keeps the ball in a box around part of the field, they can move the ball around the whole game.
