Back of THE CAGE Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM Wish List for Rule Changes

on the girls side there should be progression fouls. Four and you are out. Too many whistles and choppy play. You hack a few times and then you watch from the bench like basketball. Yellow Jackets would have to expand rosters to 30 if this happened

Pull the goalie for an extra attacker that must stay on the defensive side of the field. Now how does that make any sense?

There are a few rule changes/additions I wouldn't mind seeing personally and would love to hear what others think as well.

1. For starters, I wouldn't mind seeing a shot clock introduced the moment the offensive team establishes a "touch" in the box.

2. I wouldn't mind seeing personal fouls changed to either 1.5 or 2 minutes and technical fouls changed to a minute. 30 secs for a man up is kind of silly. I think by doing this, it will put more emphasis on staying out of the penalty box.

3. And lastly, on a delayed penalty (flag down), why not pull the goalie to get an extra attacker on the field? Hockey does it! Here's the caveat, once the flag is thrown, there is now a shot clock to do something with that "man-up".

Love this idea, watching a girls game gets painful sometimes..... Could do without the dig at YJ. Let's keep those jabs to the YJ or age year thread

Girls side continued.....

-Enforce offsides. Tired of watching teams stop the fast break by being offsides and not be penalized.

-Stop rewarding bad offensive play....ie-charging into double and triple teams only to be rewarded with free position shots.
The game has been impossible to defend.

-Enforce offensive charges

-Change face off rule....only the players on circle can go after ball. After possession allow players out of restraining box. (make same as boys)

-Agree with foul calls being tabulated. keep track of which girls are the hackers and have them sit and penalize team after a certain # of fouls.

The girls games are sometimes painful to watch between bad play and horrendous officiating.

Obviously the extra attacker wouldnt stay on the defensive side of the field. There would have to be a slight rule change regarding offsides on a delayed penalty. I get what Redyeh is saying. Its actually an interesting idea

Love the 3rd suggestion.

And/or before the goalie even gets to the sub box... run a defender off and run an Offensive middie in... give the advantage while the flag is thrown. after the play is dead back to a 1 man up advantage.. defensive player goes back on sides.
