unwritten rules of lacrosse

[Canadian Lax]

Okay guys i thought we should make a list of the unwritten rules of lacrosse. Things that are not part of the rule book, but every lax player knows. So i'll start it off in no particular order.

1.) Never touch another players stick without permission

2.) if you do have permission, you still NEVER touch another players shooters, or and other part of stringing. Because all lax players know that we have all spent endless hours getting our sticks to throw exaclly how we want them to.

3.) i dont know if this one applies to feild lax, but in box if your going to fight then be a gentalmen and take off your own helmet.

4.) If you run your mouth in a game, you cant back down from a fight.

5.) never be the third man in the fight, let the two guys scrap it out.

6.) No matter how great or crappy of a game you've played have character and shake hands at the end of the game.

7.) Respect the game for its traditions and teachings.

8.) If your at a tourny dont be cheap and steal other players equip.

9.) What happens on the feild stays on the feild.



..............keep adding on

[lax4life6]

10.) take off your right glove to shake hands

[NuKoN]

10.) take off your right glove to shake hands


No one around here ever takes their gloves off for the most part.. its usually just a pound with gloves on.

[shooter]

11.) Don't celebrate like crazy when you score if you're thrashing the other guys

12.) Unless your team sucks too, don't really celebrate when you beat the worst team in the league

[goalie1215]

13. dont shoot at the goalies nuts :idea:

im just being hopeful

[laxgod1790]

13. dont shoot at the goalies nuts :idea:

im just being hopeful


I think someones just trying to save themselves..... :agree:

[tkdlaxer]

When our team goes to shake hands we always take our helmets and gloves off to shake the other teams hands. its just a common curtousy

[freestylewalkin]

14) Dont use your stick as a weapon in a fight

[LaxLlama8]

At the end of the game, we always say "Yay raa (insert name of other team)" I think it might actually be a rule in my league, but just going 1 2 3 (other team) is a good thing to do.

[gnrrocks110]

14) Dont use your stick as a weapon in a fight

SOOOO true. the kids on my team always root for a fight with sticks. and we all know thats just wuss move. be a man, use your hands

[MaKiMaKi13]

i always thought it was ray rah (insert the name of the other team) but that might just be for our public schools

[Shock32]

i always thought it was ray rah (insert the name of the other team) but that might just be for our public schools
That's the way we do it too.

[GIattack]

When our team goes to shake hands we always take our helmets and gloves off to shake the other teams hands. its just a common curtousy

not a good idea to take ur helmet off. specialy if it was a cheap game, somebody might be a poor sport and cheap shot you while ur helemts off.

[laolax]

we always say rah rah (school name)

[Canadian Lax]

15.) Always stick up for your team mates on and off the feild

16.) If another player steps into your crease, make him wish he never had, always protect your goalie

[EndlesFimbulvet]

17) Never request a stick check on FOGOs...At least around here.

[ReLaxin 13]

15.) Always stick up for your team mates on and off the feild

16.) If another player steps into your crease, make him wish he never had, always protect your goalie

Indeed, NO ONE goes near your goalie.

[Shock32]

And if the goalie has a penalty, and has to serve it, and your friend who isn't even a goalie is in the goal...jump in front of all of the shots that you can...just like canadian lax said, always protect your goalie.

[THALAX]

most of these are common sence....

[NickMB17]

Leave your helmet on while exiting the field.

[lax1191]

At the end of the game, we always say "Yay raa (insert name of other team)" I think it might actually be a rule in my league, but just going 1 2 3 (other team) is a good thing to do.

Ya we do that too. I don't think it's a rule but it's just good sportsmanship.

[LoyolaMiddie878]

15.) Always stick up for your team mates on and off the feild

16.) If another player steps into your crease, make him wish he never had, always protect your goalie



hahaha...our goalie doesn't need protection...if a guy goes in to HIS crease...he WILL make him pay. he decks almost as many guys as i do. haha.

[Mavido]

I usualy play as a gentlemen, but when the game is on the line. I throw all these rules out the window.. and theres only one rule that counts

1) win at all costs.

If that means bust some dude in the balls, its gona happen, if that means cleating some kid.. then thats gona happen.

But i dont play competitivly any more, well then.. so im gona chill.

[Mustangs21]

18.) Don't steal your teams or your teammates lacrosse balls!!!

[scruffy221]

19) Leave the game on the field, don't go jump some opposing dude in the parking lot because you lost.

[HdGLaxWarrior]

19) Leave the game on the field, don't go jump some opposing dude in the parking lot because you lost.

I strongly agree. Lacrosse is one of those sports where you can beat each other up on the field, and after have a few pints and some laughs.

[PBlax]

20. Even if your loosing, keep it clean and loose with respect

[MeTHLax18]

21. Only steal one or two balls from the endline when passing another game thats going on. haha.

[ohlax51]

Never, ever put blame for a loss on the goalie

[chsattack22]

Never, ever put blame for a loss on the goalie
or any individual player on your team for that matter, you win as a team, you lose as a team

[wolfie8914]

17) Never request a stick check on FOGOs...At least around here.


What if the ball is getting stuck in his head? Of course I am gonna call that.

[XxlacrossexX]

never put down your mates.

never brag about scoring

be moddest about burning a guy

[CreaseMiddie]

When our team goes to shake hands we always take our helmets and gloves off to shake the other teams hands. its just a common curtousy

in both football and lacrosse our coaches make us keep our helmets on to shake hands... and the're like really big on sportsmanship too. weird, i never really understood why we do that.

[Sour]

76. No excuses play like a champion

[bhslax12]

23. Always blame everything on the middies

[riddlebox]

NEVER shove your stick in a players face mask. In canada most of us have oneil masks and such, and players can put their sticks through the bottom of the cage and cut your face open. Some people do it, but they always get the crap beaten out of them.

[MrTibs]

when i first started i was told to always address the ref as "Sir".

[petejobu22]

Yea, around here we address the ref as sir also...just a good thing to do.

[Shock32]

23. Always blame everything on the middies
haha, or the attackmen (I'm a longpole if you haven't figured it out :thumbsup: ) .

[DeftGoalie28]

13. dont shoot at the goalies nuts :idea:

im just being hopeful

:agree: thats my favorite one

[vinlax30]

24. Never yell at your coach on the sidelines or from the feild,it makes you look like a loser, i hate when kids do that

[PBlax]

Never, ever put blame for a loss on the goalie

What if your goalie is so bad that he lets a ball roll in from the restraining line?

[LaxRef]

What if your goalie is so bad that he lets a ball roll in from the restraining line?

You play as a team, you win as a team, and you lose as a team. If he's the best guy your team can put out there, then you need to score enough goals and play good enough defense to win. People are too quick to try to point the finger everywhere else but at themselves when they lose.

If you must have these thoughts, keep them to yourself. I'm sure the goalie realizes he let up a soft goal and feels bad enough about it.

[FredtheCat]

in both football and lacrosse our coaches make us keep our helmets on to shake hands... and the're like really big on sportsmanship too. weird, i never really understood why we do that.

We always do helmets on, gloves off.

[Riviere]

Never shoot at a dman's body or legs on purpose from closish range. Damn attackers.

[CTLaxer]

in both football and lacrosse our coaches make us keep our helmets on to shake hands... and the're like really big on sportsmanship too. weird, i never really understood why we do that.

The reason why you're supposed to keep your helmets on when shaking hands after all contact sports is because if something does happen and a kid goes after you with a helmet on and you're not wearing yours....well, it's not pretty.

[RockStar]

If some cheap punk attacks you while wearing a helmet, I'd suggest just facemasking him to the ground.

[spenny]

If some cheap punk attacks you while wearing a helmet, I'd suggest just facemasking him to the ground.

shoot, i grew up quaker, and even I knew that! :chair:

[MACDADDY]

rule# idk? dont show you are scared on the team

[viking goalie]

Indeed, NO ONE goes near your goalie.
I love this rule :agree:

and after the game when you go 1 2 3 (opponents team name), theres a team in my league that doesn't do that, instead they sing. They're a Catholic private school. no one know's what they're singing, but they sing. It's actually pretty cool, and respectful. they're not very good (laxers that is) but they always play fair, even though we beat them around 9-2 almost every time

[UVAlaxer432]

rule# idk? dont show you are scared on the team

My team has problems with that one...

[Superman]

17) Never request a stick check on FOGOs...At least around here.

haha i see that someone else feels my pain... ive gotten called three times this season for a pinched stick. absolutely ridiculous and unfair because every faceoff man up here has an illegally pinched head.

[LaxRef]

haha i see that someone else feels my pain... ive gotten called three times this season for a pinched stick. absolutely ridiculous and unfair because every faceoff man up here has an illegally pinched head.

Aaaah, I see. Lots of people break the law, so it's ridiculous for me to get in trouble for it.

Selective enforcement is not a defense. There could be 1000 people underage drinking on the street, and if the cop picks you out to arrest, too bad for you.

[middieman1]

10.) take off your right glove to shake hands

When I first started playing lacrosse that was one of the first things I learned. But I was told it was incase of a fight so I wouldn't have to take them off and waste time.

[RockStar]

haha i see that someone else feels my pain... ive gotten called three times this season for a pinched stick. absolutely ridiculous and unfair because every faceoff man up here has an illegally pinched head.
Ball's dead while you're being checked - have your coach or captain request a check against your opponent maybe?

One of two things might happen

1) the other FOGO will start playing with a legal stick so you can actually gain an advantage by cheating with your own stick

2) If both of you end up with stick penalties, the other coach may realize what a frigging annoying waste of time all these stick checks are and get himself a life!

[midnitecruiser]

24. never spank someone on the other team and run away like an idiot
go up to him and say u did it because the human reaction to a spank is really funny

25. at a tournament, do NOT put dog poop in another persons pocket, unless it is leather because leather takes a long time to string and the poo will ruin it

[midnitecruiser]

23. Always blame everything on the middies

i got a dang good kick out of that
:agree: :roll: :roll: :chuckle: :rolling: :thumbsup:

[HdGLaxWarrior]

26. If you're a D man, never jump out of the way of a shot.

[smooth87]

26. If you're a D man, never jump out of the way of a shot.

Unless you don't have a piece of protective gear on and in that situation, you may duck and take it in the grill or turn your back to the ball and pray it hits you in your back.

[zim]

Unless you don't have a piece of protective gear on and in that situation, you may duck and take it in the grill or turn your back to the ball and pray it hits you in your back.

And when they face dodge around you because
you were a wimp your whole team's going to really
hate you. Wear the cup, match his stickhead and
hope for the best.

[Longpole5435]

And when they face dodge around you because
you were a wimp your whole team's going to really
hate you. Wear the cup, match his stickhead and
hope for the best.
or just cover your nuts with the bottom hand on your stick.

[zim]

or just cover your nuts with the bottom hand on your stick.

You know, i have actually never thought
of that. You just saved me some worries
seeing as how i'm a Dmiddie. How'd I not
get that one...geez.

[GRLAXSTR19]

76. No excuses play like a champion


haha, Wedding Crashers

[GRLAXSTR19]

27. Keep your cool, dont spaz out and cheap shot somebody cuz your mad, a kid on my team did that twice this season and got penalties both times, and looked like an idiot because of it

[Longpole5435]

You know, i have actually never thought
of that. You just saved me some worries
seeing as how i'm a Dmiddie. How'd I not
get that one...geez.
Its the best way to go about it..........no one notices, you are ready to play, nad your jewels are safe :agree:

[EndlesFimbulvet]

Unless you don't have a piece of protective gear on and in that situation, you may duck and take it in the grill or turn your back to the ball and pray it hits you in your back.
That happend to one of our d-men...This guy is a tank, he saves at least 2-3 shots a game with his body, but one game he was only wearing a zoombang shirt, and it hit him in the kidneys I think...He was coughing up blood on the field after he cleared it, and on the sideline.

Couldnt play the next couple games, only the last game of the season. Even then he had to wear a chest protector.

[stinisonfire]

28. If you're an attackman and got laid out by a goalie because you tried to get a goal on the crease, don't get pissed off and cheap shot him later on.

Punk attackmen..

[the next 'one']

29. don't be a total ball hog. if you are dodging, pass it away if you can't do anything. Dodge to dump, dump to shoot, shoot to score. trying to take it through any more than 2 guys is absurd and ridiculously stupid.

[Shock32]

30. If you end up chasing a guy down like that one guy that looks like gigo, never, ever drop your stick, it is a very valuable weapon.

[Laxer1241]

15.) Always stick up for your team mates on and off the feild

16.) If another player steps into your crease, make him wish he never had, always protect your goalie
Box fight where my goalie was in trouble and stupid me goes out there with out a helmet on and it wasnt to pretty.

[laxkid009]

28. If you're an attackman and got laid out by a goalie because you tried to get a goal on the crease, don't get pissed off and cheap shot him later on.

Punk attackmen..


and it ur a goalie and u try to run up the field and get decked dont blame it on the dfence when they score. hahaha jk i play some goalie myself

[pshwarriorlax17]

31) After you win by one and the ref blows the whistle slash an attackmen on his hand and break his thumb... really bad class by an opposing just made me mad

[CardinalPuff]

when blowing out an opponent, make sure everone gets a touch or two.....fast break goals when already ahead by 15 goals shows zero class.....

[RockStar]

when blowing out an opponent, make sure everone gets a touch or two.....fast break goals when already ahead by 15 goals shows zero class.....
I've always said this. If the game's in hand, share the ball. (Only exception is if one of your superstars is gunning for a league scoring title towards the end of the season......I figure part of teamwork is helping key team members achieve success.)

To make it even more fun, you should spread the work around - put your d-men up on attack or offensive mid, let the attackers/O-mids swing the poles, and make the lazy-arse goalie run the field for a change!

[CreaseMiddie]

To make it even more fun, you should spread the work around - put your d-men up on attack or offensive mid, let the attackers/O-mids swing the poles, and make the lazy-arse goalie run the field for a change!
on our team, that would be hilarious! when our goalie has a shortstick he still does the wide goalie cradle thing. that would be so funny to watch him run down the field like that...

[Buzz1991]

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Haha that was great. If anybody hasn't seen that video you need to see it now.
where is that video?

[BeachRef]

If you are playing summer league with out ANY pads or mouthpiece, don't ask the ref for a slash every time you go near the cage.

Why is it that the 30+ players always seem to be the ones who show up with no protective gear? You think they would be a little smarter than the 16-24 year olds. Not much funnier to me than an old geezer attackman attempting to take on two full equiped college d men with no pads.

[RockStar]

If you are playing summer league with out ANY pads or mouthpiece, don't ask the ref for a slash every time you go near the cage.......

My signature would certainly apply to this.

If you think you're too tough to wear pads, you need to be man enough to not cry about a little slap check hitting your body every now and then!

[THE WALL #00]

:agree: thats my favorite one
i agree this is probably the best rule there is

[THE WALL #00]

hahaha...our goalie doesn't need protection...if a guy goes in to HIS crease...he WILL make him pay. he decks almost as many guys as i do. haha.

yeah same with me i dont let any1 in if they come in they are mine because i rarely get to hit people so when i can i make it worth it

[THE WALL #00]

18.) Don't steal your teams or your teammates lacrosse balls!!!
true our coach keeps buying balls and they always end up missing. I dont bring balls to games to practices and I dont take them

[LAXatives55]

Unless you don't have a piece of protective gear on and in that situation, you may duck and take it in the grill or turn your back to the ball and pray it hits you in your back.


you never wanna take a shot in the back. ur best bet is to cover up the fellas with your gloves and take it in the chest.

[itsthatkid]

If your a D and you're killing a team, don't take it all the way up and scored.

A kid on my new hampshire team did this to long island. I felt bad for 'em.

[gctales]

Why is it that the 30+ players always seem to be the ones who show up with no protective gear? You think they would be a little smarter than the 16-24 year olds. Not much funnier to me than an old geezer attackman attempting to take on two full equiped college d men with no pads.

Beach ref.. possible reason is some of the 30+ players (And I am one) played without pads when we were 16-24 and we forget that we aren't that age or invincible anymore...

I played with guys who only wore gloves and helmet, becasue theyw eer mandated... and that is still how they play.. but they also don't complain about hits or bruises..

just an observation.

[NC-LACROSSE]

32. dont ask why your taken out (learned that the hard way)

33. never mess witht the ref (unless your a goalie)

34. if somone gets decked you have to deck the person who decked the other person

35. never give up it makes you look like you really suck

36. dont run up the score

37. try not to score all the points feed somone

also this is a real rule but i hate people who play with illegal sticks i jsut want to knock them sensless if you have a goalies pocket in a normal stick it dosnt mean your good it, means your cheap

[Storm21]

NEVER shove your stick in a players face mask. In canada most of us have oneil masks and such, and players can put their sticks through the bottom of the cage and cut your face open. Some people do it, but they always get the crap beaten out of them.

Or never spear someone in the neck when they are wearing one.(hurts like hell and will lead to a fight)

[bhslax12]

#38 if you get hit with the ball get up and start celebrating and when be ball gets out of your zone start rolling on the ground in pain if necessary.

[nikewarrior5]

32. dont ask why your taken out (learned that the hard way)

33. never mess witht the ref (unless your a goalie)

tell that to umass lol

[dram183]

nikewarrior, umass just happens to be the only team with pictures of their sticks at the right angles, lots of people at the college level have deep pockets

[dskinner21]

I have always been told by this guy that is mean on my team to leave evey peice of gear on when shaking hands except your shoes our whole team does it now.

[Goalie#%]

[QUOTE=goalie1215]13. dont shoot at the goalies nuts :idea:

im just being hopeful[/QUOTE


THANK YOU :roll:

[Storm21]

I have always been told by this guy that is mean on my team to leave evey peice of gear on when shaking hands except your shoes our whole team does it now.

You take off your shoes when you shake hands???

If you cant back up what you do or say, dont do it

[freestylewalkin]

SOOOO true. the kids on my team always root for a fight with sticks. and we all know thats just wuss move. be a man, use your hands


I actually would like to see a fight with sticks beacuse I think a duel woud look pretty funny if both people were using sticks.

[the wister]

Not really a behavior rule, but, Never tighten the strings on your gloves.

[CanuckLax]

When you score act like you've done it before and you plan on doing it again.

This rule can be thrown out for League or tourney finals or OT goals where you're allowed to celebrate like a freak!

[fenderDman23]

play as clean as possible and if u throw a bad check deffinatly say sorry and make sure the guys ok i hate it when ppl just rail me and are like "oh sorry" and just walk off like nothing happens

[GarysGod]

when you score on a goalie dont shout things like "five hole" or "top shelf" where he can hear, thats just mean.

If someone even raises their voice at your goalie, you step in reguardless of the circumustances

[BwineLAX42]

#39 If you get railed, don't go looking for the smallest guy on the other team; hit the guy that hit you.

We smaller folks don't appreciate that.

[PanZ3r420]

if both players have the nuts to remove thier helmet take off the arm pads. I've gotten into a fight were we took our helmet off n all he did was elbow me soo then i really got mad and hand to lay the smack down. :chair:

[Chue25]

In a fight first make sure the other person's stick is away from them. Never worry about taking off you bucket, if it looks like you two are going shoot a fair one then then by all means square off and git er dun;but in most cases your more concerned about taking their helmet off not yours.

When time is running out on the clock and shot, or pass is thrown from across the field, or from a far towards your direction don't be so eager to go for it. Depending on how the game is going if your on the receiving end of the ball with barely any time to do anything effective some loose cannon might pick this as the perfect time to rail you while your in range of the ball.

Along with rule #76: don't play for the calls, play your game. Not all refs are the same, and not everyone of them are going to make the calls. Don't stop until the ref blows that wistle; that means stoppage of play. Play through the slashes, play through the pushes from behind and all those dirty moves and if the ref doesn't call it get back at your opponet with a play that leads to a goal. If someone wants to throwdown because they can't stop you then thats their fault BUT by all means defend yourself. Referees officiate the games, its up to you and your team to decide who's going to win them.

[LaxRef]

This is good advice. As officials, we try to be in tune to this sort of thing developing and put a stop to it (you'll notice a very high percentage of illegal procedure violations on faceoffs with under 10 seconds left in chippy games that have already been decided). And we do have the power to eject someone for a late cheap shot, which generally carries a suspension, but we can't always prevent the cheap shot from happening.

Learned that the hard way... :DOH:

#0 Don't yell at the fans of HS sports, its a bad idea and most of the time results in violence.

[WoodDuck14]

Some people were saying if any one goes into the crease have the golie smash them, well it works the other way to. if the goalie decides to run up the field, eliminate him with extream prejudece.

[RockStar]

.........well it works the other way to. if the goalie decides to run up the field, eliminate him with extream prejudece.
Yes and no.

The next unwritten rule is that if anyone roughs up your goalie more than is necessary, you cripple that stroker the next chance you get.

[literacola]

if you are a goalie dont talk smack on someone who has scored on you.....a goalie did that after i had scored 2 on him, i then put in a third for good measure

[Meade Lacrosse]

i always thought it was ray rah (insert the name of the other team) but that might just be for our public schools

Yea, thtas how we do it too. But when we play Glen Burnie, we sound like idiots.

RAA RAA GOPHERS....ugh

[AznSoFTii]

u have to have a raa raa at the end.

[LaxRef]

Yea, thtas how we do it too. But when we play Glen Burnie, we sound like idiots.

RAA RAA GOPHERS....ugh
Why don't you try one of the species names:

"Rah rah Spermophilus Franklini"

[EphLaxPH28]

Never shoot at a dman's body or legs on purpose from closish range. Damn attackers.

haha I know so many people that do that...

[Azimm]

Rule #34 and Rule #39 are the best.

If you get laid out hit someone bigger because it shows that you have balls. :argue: :hot: :dummy: :nono:

But do it fair because cheap shots are #@!@#@$ stupid

[Tasslehoff9566]

The reason why you're supposed to keep your helmets on when shaking hands after all contact sports is because if something does happen and a kid goes after you with a helmet on and you're not wearing yours....well, it's not pretty.

to bad that wont stop my friend he dented someones facemask because he though he got cheap shoted

[gaels_laxer_33]

step in my crease and you wil regret it

[Tasslehoff9566]

If your a D and you're killing a team, don't take it all the way up and scored.

A kid on my new hampshire team did this to long island. I felt bad for 'em.
one of the players on the team im on hes almost did it 4 or 5 times last season he has the worst luck he gets to the goal and is .5 sec from shooting and the whistle blows then we have to hear him ***** about it then he lays someone out and is fine

[laxmiddie1717]

23. Always blame everything on the middies


man i really hope you're joking about that :hot: , it's not always a middie's fault, others are to blame sometimes too

[inblack]

Ok i read most, but not all, so here is my thoughts.

Said in a conversation i was having at the Referees dinner during the World Champoinships .....

The game will go a long way if we all remember just this one line,

Lacrosse is a savage game played by Gentlemen ....
Soccer is a gentelman's game played by savages. :chair:

[rmolax888]

What if your goalie is so bad that he lets a ball roll in from the restraining line?
If you think your goalie is so bad why dont you try it. On my team we didn't have a goalie so someone voluntered and he sucked a monkeys uncle but none of us would do it and it pissed me off when the new players would complain about it.

[kaley]

22. i think when you shake hand after a game you should be a man and look in the opponents face and say great game or what u use to say , beacuse i just hate this cowards that keep stareing at the ground and mumbles something.... i have met some players that does that even if they are in the winning team ...

[cvhs#1]

nikewarrior, umass just happens to be the only team with pictures of their sticks at the right angles, lots of people at the college level have deep pockets
MARYLAND u see those guys wind up and miss the goal to the left by like 7-10 yards.

1.NEVER NEVER NEVER leave your hs team at a tournament so you can go play for your allstar team.

2. posts dont count as goals so dont complain that you hit 2+ pipes

[AleMo]

Never shoot at a dman's body or legs on purpose from closish range. Damn attackers.
Cuz im usually the target, denting so many a-man's sticks...

[Fudd]

man i really hope you're joking about that :hot: , it's not always a middie's fault, others are to blame sometimes too

big word there....SOMETIMES...... :lol: :roll:

rule number 40...i think......never push down someones pocket.....especially before a game......could get stick throw out of game or put pocket in wrong spot

[vikinglax3522]

as long as you dont throw first its ok to fight.
watch your goalies bakc of course (last year this kid was coming in on a fast break and our goalie hit him and broke the kids collar bone)
never lead with your helemet.
dont fight a kid alot bigger or smaller than you.
show some respect even if you get in a few tussles during the game what happens on the feild stays on the feild.
disrespect opposing players all you want during the game but never disrespect the sport!!!

[the next 'one']

24. never spank someone on the other team and run away like an idiot
go up to him and say u did it because the human reaction to a spank is really funny

25. at a tournament, do NOT put dog poop in another persons pocket, unless it is leather because leather takes a long time to string and the poo will ruin it

my god i was literally ROFL'ing on that one. thats one of the funniest posts i have seen on the forums. friggin hilarious man. :rofl: :worship: :thumbsup: :laugh: :lol:

but anyway we take off gloves and helmets and shake hands, not just fist bump it. and we say Rah Rah ------.

#40 A Defense Men always gets a free check so make it a good one.

[lax4life6]

#41- if you cheap shot a guy you will always be hit back by a guy bigger than you

[Sour]

#42 - Dmen deserve everything they get!

[trickmaster1212]

# 41 dont take a shot if you can't shoot ( only applys to those who think they are the best and take a butch of shots and never go in cus they shoot like 15 mph )

# 42 dont use pink anything unless you are good

# 43 dont do a swimer to a person who is taller than you cuz it doesnt work

# 44 THIS IS A BIG ONE FOR COLLAGE - we wont call for a stck check on you guys if you don't stck check us
most playwer in collage and MLL have illegal sticks mainly pockets

[3rdPersonPlural]

Along with rule #76: don't play for the calls, play your game. Not all refs are the same, and not everyone of them are going to make the calls. Don't stop until the ref blows that wistle; that means stoppage of play. Play through the slashes, play through the pushes from behind and all those dirty moves and if the ref doesn't call it get back at your opponet with a play that leads to a goal. Referees officiate the games, its up to you and your team to decide who's going to win them.

Cheers for Chue!

15.) Always stick up for your team mates on and off the feild

16.) If another player steps into your crease, make him wish he never had, always protect your goalie

I'd amend this and say that someone who wrecks your goalie should expect to leave the game on a stretcher.

# 42 dont use pink anything unless you are good



i agree i hate it when someone so bad is so obnoxious about their stick

[cvhs#1]

# 43 dont do a swimer to a person who is taller than you cuz it doesnt work


i did it to a guy on my team during pracice he is 6-6 and im 5-11 it was funny looking i had to jump as high as i could.

45. never fart near or around your bench if u have to wait till u are subbing near the opposing team's.

[mack8]

ON the bus there be quiet and get in your "zone."

[jvt510]

13. dont shoot at the goalies nuts :idea:

im just being hopeful


thats wat i shot for

[cali feeder]

45. Don't headbutt someone and drop the F-bomb at the same time. Got Aloha will back me up on that.

[RazzMaChazz]

stay out of my crease, and you'll stay out of the hospital.

[Longpole5435]

Rule #124:
If you ride a Defenseman hard, expect to get it back on your next posession.

Rule #237:
Middies who don't hustle back on D are nobody's friends

Rule #169:
No gangsters play lacrosse. Pull your shorts up.

5. youre an idiot

2. posts dont count as goals so dont complain that you hit 2+ pipes


Unless you hit 6+ pipes in a single game and then you are just plain unlucky but even then all it warrants is a "man i have horrible luck" comment, nothing more.

46. if you are going to play "hit the goalie in the head" or pipes or anyother bs when you are up alot don't broadcast it and keep it amongst yourselves.
