• LANCO Fieldhouse (“LFH”) is a privately owned facility and its management reserves the right in its sole discretion to establish rules for playing in the facility. The LFH Rules are set forth as an attachment to the LANCO Fieldhouse LAX Rules and are made a part hereof and when there is a conflict between the LFH Rules and the lacrosse rules the LFH Rules shall govern.

  • Except within five (5) yards from a loose ball there shall be NO hitting and loose ball excessive contact/checking/hitting other than incidental contact shall be ruled as a 1 minute roughing penalty.

 

  • Any hit/check/contact made with unneeded force shall be penalized as a 1 minute unnecessary roughness penalty. For purposes of this penalty the referee may deem that a player taking more than two (2) steps to deliver a hit has used excessive force.

  • Long sticks shall be permitted.

 

  • No Overtime

 

  • The games shall be played in accordance with the United States Lacrosse Association’s Rules of Conduct and any violation of the rules of conduct by any player, coach, fan or patron of LFH may lead to the imposition of penalties set forth in the LFH Rules and although LFH may determine that a warning is appropriate in certain instances, we reserve the right to impose such penalties without further warning and without the right to a further appeal.

 

  • NOTICE: LFH has hosted a meeting with coaches and referees to discuss game/player control and refereeing philosophy. The coaches who attended the meeting had an opportunity to provide input and all coaches with teams playing at LFH shall be given the right to evaluate referees and comment on the control of the games. LFH has sent a letter to the refereeing association that states clearly that it expects the games to be called in accordance to the rules of lacrosse and that management wants ALL penalties called in accordance with such rules. It is LFH’s position that the players should be rewarded for skillful play and not close to the line rough play and this is notice that LFH will support referees that call games in accordance with the rules and who “error” on the side of safety. Play at LFH is for developmental purposes to prepare players for the outdoor game and LFH expects the coaches, players and referees to comport themselves accordingly.
