Important question: Is any tape aloud on the shaft at all for face offs this year? I was under the impression that the tape can't touch the head, but my son's coach is telling him no tape on the stick at all. can someone please clarify?
First off, not all new NCAA rules are immediately HS rules, sometimes the rules are completely different. here is the new NCAA rule
Shooting strings or laces must be within 4 inches of top of crosse
Change to RULE 1-SECTION 19: "Any additional strings or laces (e.g., shooting strings) must be located within 4" of top of the crosse. No more than one sidewall string on each side is allowed. No crosse may have any tape affixed to the plastic. This does not include the crosse of a goalkeeper."
Tape may not be added to the throat of a faceoff player's crosse
4-3: "Tape must be applied to the handle of the crosse in a contrasting color to designate the throat of the crosse for players taking the faceoff."
