[steve-okneav-o]

in box lacrosse its a five minute penaly and is somewhat part of the game,and in feild u get ejected and fights hardly ever happens

Field you would get ejected and they are rare, and the level you will be playing at (by looking at your profile) there would very rarely be fights and if there was you would probably be out for a couple games, depending.

If it's a fight, which both players are involved, they would both be ejected, and ecspecialy in high school lacrosse, it's not a part of the game, things can get intense some times, but you have to keep your self under control.

It's a ejection of all players involved, a ref can end a game if he thinks it's dangerous.
You're suspended for a game.
Suspended from school depending on your schools policy.

Because I was suspended from one game and out of school for three days.

And I was the 4th man in, Went in to break the fight up, and then got hit.

[stevet]

wtf? lmao no i said im not aski8n this beacuase i want to get into fights, im asking beacuse i was just wondering because of all the videos.

Yeah, its more common in box then feild. Box is more similar to hockey. Its only stressed in the videos because people think it makes it look cooler but it actually isnt.

You are probably watching NLL, where fights seem to happen a lot. In college, HS, MS, or U11, a fight is at least 3 minutes USC NR, and you may face ejection pretty quickly. Fights are not too common at those levels, and we make sure that they don't happen.

Fighting is an automatic ejection - and in most areas you are suspended rom the following game as well. Outside of box and the MLL, fighting is VERY rare!

well said,
In Canada
depending on the age group -- in minor box lacrosse (3 yrs old to 16 or so + intermediate and juvenile levels); Both players ejected for the game, depending on the severity they can be suspended beyond that at the leagues discretion.
We dont have a High school box league in Ontario, so getting suspended from school is not an issue.
in junior to major lacrosse (17-??) 5 min major penalty, for all involved. different circumstances may call for an ejection and a discipline review (starting a fight during a stoppage in play, swings the stick during a fight, Flagrant Face mask pulling, etc...) but that depends.

Field up here, same as down there. Ejections for all involved at the least.
We have HS field as well so there depending on your school ---- yeah you may end up on academic suspension.

Part of the game, its no where near as common as the videos portray it.
