[chlwnstjr190]

I play lacrosse in IL
and i have a question about rules
is it legal to cut the palms on your glove???
i know in some leagues its legal...
but i heard my friends saying that
its illegal here in Illinois...
I didnt really know where to put this thread..
so if its in a wrong place, its fine to move it

thanks

You are not allowed to have any holes in your palms of the gloves bigger than a nickle. Basically if you cut them you will be scrwed. If a small hole appears and it grows that is usually fine, but as long as it is still smaller than a coin. I have alreayd thought this rule has been pretty bogus, but I just love playing with my gloves on, I cant throw the ball with my stick without my glvoes on, Its just unatural to me it seems.

actaully if the holes occur naturally, they just make u put tape over them, if they appear to be cut its illegal

[chlwnstjr190]

how would the refs know though?

[mr._incredilax8]

you can clearly tell when the palms are cut because they usually appear to be cleaner cut then if a whole had appeard. When a hole appears, there is usually fraying around the whole.

i mean, would people check each people's gloves to see if its cut or not?
i know that refs do stick checks during games but i dont know about
other equipments

[fenwicklax89]

a ref will either see it and call it right away or usually they ask to see the palms during a stick check. it depends on the ref

The penalty is not worth it. If you have cut gloves, you might as well get another pair. I don't know what level you are at, or how uptight they are, but it is considered illegal equipment, and you will be man-down. Definitely not worth it.

yeah and your coach will eat you out for it
