Does the goalie serve the time in HS lacrosse

[michaeldwilson]

If the goalie commits an illegal body check in high school lacrosse, does he have to go out of the game, or does the ref allow the in-home to serve?

Thanks,

Mike

Varsity he does (JV is a mixed bag when it comes to this). The team does have 1 minute to warm up his replacement

[SheepShank]

yea he does.

or she...

Wasn't sure if it was the same in girls lacrosse so I just said "he".

I learn something new everyday:agree

I'm not being sexist, I just don't know girls rules. He does serve penalty time in both JV/Var, the team gets 1 minute to warm up a new goalie.

Thanks, friends.

I am not questioning you. You are usually right. I was just wondering, when did this change, or if I just can't remember?
Didn't in the past it used to be the in-home serves the penalty?
I thought I remember our goalie got a penalty or two once but the in-home guy had to sit in the box.

I remember the rule changing, I just can't remember how long ago it was. When I played club lax in college I was the in-home and our goalie was a bit of a hack.

Do girls serve penalties? I thought they just got yellow or red cards.

goalies dont get penalties, we're perfect.... Hahaha

My thinking was that if it's personal they have to serve it. If it's a 30 sec, then someone else (perhaps the inhome, not so sure) can serve it. I thought the inhome was only there in case the coach's top blows...

Bench fouls, field fouls, (home) spectator fouls, stuff like that.

Inhome is for any penalty who is not against a specific player.

what about Frosh

[Snake~eyes]

According to the high school and NCAA book the goalie serves the time. If the frosh team plays by either of these without modifications then the goalie msut serve the time. The reason the goalie doesn't in youth is because there are rule modifications.

and even them sometimes the goalie serves the penalties. ive had some pretty agressive keepers :)

I had the goalie serve time in a high school game, but the problem was time. Of course, they only have goalie equipment for one person and it took a while for the goalie to get changed. It took them so long that I didn't remind them that they had a minute to warm up the goalie. They didn't ask for it; I didn't say anything.

That is there 1 minute warmup period as far as I'm concerned. The book just says they get a minute, what they chose to do with it is up to them.

This is what we came up with when discussing this scenario at our officials training seminar:

The NCAA rules say to be "reasonably lenient" about time when a goalkeeper switch is involved. If the keeper gets a penalty and the team only has one set of goalie gear, we give them time to switch it over. However, we inform them that if they want to get the original goalie back in the game, they'll need to call a timeout. Note that subbing on the fly iis not an option, since the rules state you have to have a legally-equipped keeper on the field, and if you only have one set of gear there's no way to comply with that during a sub on the fly.

Of course, if you have two equipped goalies, there's no issue here. Under NFHS rules, they can do a 1-minute warmup; under NCAA rules, they need to call a timeout if they want to warm up the new keeper.
