Is anyone else flabbergasted by the new rule changes for sticks? How is it possible that they change the rules on sticks and make almost every girl stick out there illegal? My daughters team was told that the referees will be checking sticks very closely now that league games are about to start.
What exactly are you talking about??
According to US Lacrosse, new rule section 8 says each attachment to the sidewall shall be no more than 1.5 inches from its adjacent attachment when measured in a straight line from hole to hole.
Most girls sticks are not strung like that.
This new rule is such a joke. The refs checked my daughters team, apparently had mostly illegal heads. They played anyway. There will be many cancelled games this year if they try to enforce this. This creates a huge problem for all the manufactures as most of what is being sold in stores are illegal. If girls rules and the governing body were not a big enough joke, enter this latest debacle.
