catch it (do not flip onto back of hand) Ask winning captain his choice - Goal or Alternating Possession (AP) Position captains & signal to benches
Line Up Call the teams onto the field. Do not use your whistle. Teams 5 yards apart, left shoulder facing the goal they will defend. Check that goalie is on end closest to the goal he will be guarding Check that the In-home is on the field and at the opposite end from
the goalie. Offer a short talk and have goalies cross.

Face-off exceptions There is no face-off if
Extra-man situation with possession A play-on indicates possession
Flag down situation (creating an extra-man) If the flag down creates an even situation, there is a
faceoff Dead ball foul between periods Simultaneous fouls Illegal procedure after “set” as part of face-off

Man-Down Face-offs Before the Face-off
Make sure penalty box is right Count the field If penalty could expire during face-off, tell table &
coaches player can return when: Penalty expires AND possession is called
Communicate number of “hot” player Must stay onsides
13
Coverage Around Goal in Settled Situations
Lead:• Has his goal as his primary responsibility. • Try to stay on goal line extended (GLE)
unless there is a contested play near the end line or must move to get a better angle on the play.
• Always return to GLE before whistling ball into play.
• Move in and out with ball. Be as close to the crease as possible without interfering with play.
• Do not allow players to get behind you.• Has end line responsibility on all shots
(chase shots to the end line!).
14
Coverage Around Goal in Settled Situations
Trail:• Watches for offsides.• Watches action in his area.• Reports fouls to the table.• Can help with crease violations.• Has most restarts.• Watches the shooter & passer for a late

Loose ball passes completely across goalline Shot or kick
Goal Disallowed Period ends before ball crosses goalline Illegal crosse Offense player illegally in crease Attack player jumps or dives into crease Penalty by team on offense Head comes off crosse Contact with goalie, goal, or netting before ball
crosses goalline
20
Goal ScoredMechanics – Lead Official Sounds his whistle immediately when the ball
has passed beyond the goal line. Runs to the edge of the crease, turns to face
“action” in front of the goal, and gives the goal signal
Retrieves the ball from the goal Tosses the ball to his partner Takes a position at the end of the wing line Notes the number of the player scoring the
goal on the scorecard.
21
Goal ScoredMechanics – Trail Official Watches the shooter for a late hit Waits for the goal signal by the Lead (don’t sound your
whistle unless the Lead has missed the goal). Watches the crease for fouls. Moves toward the high crease so the players know you’re
there. Tells the Lead the jersey number of the scorer. Secures the ball from Lead and runs to the center of the field. Steps over midfield and turns around to face his partner (and
the end of the field where the goal was just scored). Places the ball on the ground and straddles it while he writes
the number of the player scoring the goal on his scorecard. Watch wing official for ready. Conducts face-off duties.

RULE 7 Penalty Enforcement
35
Penalty Enforcement Once you have determined that a foul has
been committed, you must determine which of the following situations you are in:
For loose-ball technical fouls (and for most goalie interference and crease violation fouls), you will either employ the play-on technique or sound the whistle immediately.
For a foul by the team in possession, or for any loose-ball personal foul, blow your whistle immediately.
36
Technical FoulsLoose Ball - Play On During a loose-ball technical foul, crease
violation, or goalkeeper interference Visually and verbally signal “Play-on!” Withhold the whistle until the play ends or
advantage is gained or lost. A guideline is 1 or 2 seconds.
If the offended team Gains possession, give verbal & visual indication -
“Blue” Does not gain possession award the ball at the spot
where the ball is or, if the ball is inside the attack area, in the alley next to the attack area.
Play On! Loose Ball Push Blue
37
Technical FoulsLoose Ball - Play On For goalkeeper interference without
possession Withhold the whistle until goalie gains possession,
else award the ball in alley. For goalkeeper interference with possession
Withhold the whistle until the goalie completes an outlet pass or leaves the crease.
38
Technical FoulsBy Team in Possession If the team that has possession commits a
technical foul… Immediate whistle and award the ball to the
opponents at the spot where the ball is or if the ball is inside the attack area in the alley next to the attack area.
39
Flag Down Slow Whistle (FDSW)
Fouls (personal or technical) with possession by the team that was fouled: Throw the flag straight up into the air (10 to 15
feet). Yell “Flag down!” , “Flag down!” , “Flag down!”
Other official should acknowledge “Flag is down!” Allow the offensive team (with possession) to
complete their play. Slow whistle mechanic. Sound your whistle to stop play when the rules
require you to. (GOODIE) Make certain all residual action among the players
has ceased.

in Zone 4 (i.e. Team A’s attack area) On the endline if the penalty occurs after the ball crosses the
endline.

Penalty EnforcementMaking and Reporting the Call Once you sound the whistle, you should: Make sure the play is completed, including any dead-ball
residue after the play. Gather your thoughts. Check for flags from your partner. If there are multiple flags,
you may need to conference to determine if you have two flags for the same foul or flags for two different fouls.
Inform your partner of your call. Trail Position yourself promptly but not “hurriedly”:
Facing the table. With an unobstructed view of the table. Erect and stationary.
Signal the penalty. Be big, loud, and clear. Appear detached – don’t be angry! Make sure penalized player is back from sideline, kneeling by
table, with helmet on.
46
Penalty ReportingTrail - CNOTE Face the table and announce the following:
“C” - The uniform color of the offending player. Point to team. “N” - The number of offending player (and signal the number
with your hands). “O” - The offense (foul) the player committed (give signal). “T” - The time to be served (30 seconds, 1 to 3 minutes). “E” – Explanation if necessary If the penalty is Non-releasable (Full Time, Locked) Good to mention the game time when to release the penalty &

Penalty Enforcement Dead-Ball Fouls Most common
Late Hits Conduct and USC Illegal crosse or equipment Illegal procedure (delay of game) Fighting
Most Likely In a blowout game In tightly contested game In a rivalry game After other dead-ball fouls After a hard foul or cheap shot When players are jawing at each other When a coach is out of control
51
Bench Penalties In-home: Starting attack player, name
provided by coach in pre-game. The In-home serves the time for a penalty
called against a team when: no definite player is involved (not a simple offside)
or when the penalty is against someone other than a
player in the game
52
In cases of poor conduct, officials generally follow an escalating progression up ”The Ladder.”
1. Start with a verbal warning,
2. followed by a conduct foul when the offending team has possession,
3. then by a time-serving conduct foul,
4. then a 1- to 3-minute unsportsmanlike conduct, and
5. finally by a flagrant misconduct expulsion foul.
Depending on the severity of the foul and what preceded it, steps in this progression may be repeated or skipped.

U9 U11 U13 U15Conduct Unsportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated. Any player or coach who uses derogatory or
profane language, whether addressing a player, coach, or official may receive a 1 to 3-minute non-releasable unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and a 3-minute non-releasable expulsion foul for the second offense.
Any player or coach ejected from a game shall be suspended for his next regularly scheduled game. The second time a player or coach is ejected in the same season or tournament he will be suspended for the next two regularly scheduled games. A third ejection in the same season or tournament will result in a suspension for the remainder of the season or tournament.
Officials have authority to terminate a youth game in response to flagrant unsportsmanlike acts including excessively rough play or the encouragement of excessively rough play by coaches, athletes, spectators, or fans. Game termination will be the last resort in ensuring the players’ safety and preserving the integrity of the game. If possible, game officials will issue at least one strong warning that the game is in danger of being terminated.
Every effort should be taken to avoid game termination, including the enforcement of existing rules for team-conduct penalties, unsportsmanlike-conduct penalties, and ejection fouls. Mechanics for terminating a game for flagrant unsportsmanlike behavior are on the US Lacrosse Sportsmanship Card). Games terminated by an official will result in a 1-0 victory for the team that is innocent of the offense(s).
