Bbp will destroy swr on wed…..wont even be close!
5-3 at half. 10-6 final. 4 goal win when refs gave BBP every call is not destruction.
3 officials did this game. They should go review their work.
Wildly running through the 8 into defenders is a charge not shooting space, extending your arms and cross into an offensive player is a cross check, and for a non contact sport, SWR girls were knocked to the ground a lot with no consequence. Too many girls on the field is a delay of game.
It’s not opinion, those are the rules in the handbook. Highly rated officials should know them.
Good luck to BBP in the LIC.
Same kind of nonsense in the NP game. Officials decided the game when they called a charge on WM. You can watch for yourself on LILJ Insta. NP defender deliberately ran into the WM girl. You have to have feet planted for a charge call. WM should have had a free position and would have tied the game there. This is just one example of a multitude of bad calls on WM. Not saying WM would have won, but the game would have not been decided by a bad ref call. The girls deserve better
SCLOA would love to have all you experts. First try taking an officials course online to see how little you really know.
For you and all the other know it all parents in BBP and Northport who feel your win was not aided by poor officiating- Major fouls from US Lacrosse rules book: Maybe read them before you take issue with someone complaining about the officiating. I can guarantee the film of these games will include all of the fouls below committed by both teams in any game. Either ignore them for both teams or enforce them for both teams at least be consistent and at a minimum, call the fouls that could lead to a players injury.
2. CHARGING A player may not charge, barge, push or back into (thereby making contact with) an opponent who has already established a legal body position. MAJOR FOUL CONSIDERATIONS: BLOCK / CHARGE Body Contact Any decision related to body contact is a judgement call which must be made with regard to the following principles: • It is the duty of each player not to initiate illegal contact USA LACROSSE WOMEN’S OFFICIALS’ MANUAL 51 A D A D Charge by Attack Charge by Attack A D Charge by Attack • Any player is entitled to a legal field position, provided that the player does not cause contact in taking such a position and that the player allows the opponent a chance to stop and/or change direction, thus avoiding contact • Incidental contact will occur in the game of women’s lacrosse. When contact occurs, the official must determine if the contact was incidental or illegal. If illegal, the player initiating the contact is responsible for the foul and shall be penalized
5. DANGEROUS CONTACT (MANDATORY CARD) Any action that thrusts or shoves any player (with or without the ball) who is in a defenseless position. This includes but is not limited to: head down, from out of the visual field, in the air, or out of balance, especially in the kidneys, ribs, lower back, shoulder blades or aimed at the neck or head.
7. DANGEROUS PLAY a. Player actions that are rough, threatening, and /or are without regard to player safety. May be carded. b. Official’s judgment must consider skill level and safety of players. Preventative officiating can help deescalate dangerous play.
11. FORCING THROUGH A player, while in possession of the ball, may not try to force their stick through an opposing stick(s).
18. ILLEGAL STICK TO BODY CONTACT A player may not lower the head of the stick into a horizontal position and make stick to body contact with any opponent. Horizontal Stick a. A horizontal stick held by a player who is participating in play is in an illegal position. If stick-to-body or body-tostick contact occurs by a player whose stick is in a horizontal position, a foul will be called on that player. A horizontal stick is defined as one where the head of the stick is below 10 o’clock or 2 o’clock. b. “Meet and greet” contact between opponents when sticks are held in legal, upright positions is considered legal play. c. If an attack player charges into a defender who has their stick in a legal position, it is a foul on the attack only. If the defense has her stick in an illegal (horizontal) position, both players are committing fouls and the result is an alternating possession. d. If an attack player is setting a pick on an opponent and is holding the stick in a horizontal position, this is a foul on the attack if contact is made with the stick. e. A defender may drop the stick into a horizontal position to fill passing lanes, shadow an opponent’s stick and occupy more space provided there is no contact. Cross Check Players are not permitted to use the shaft of the stick to hit, push, or displace an opponent. This includes but is not limited to thrusting, jabbing, pushing, or displacing any part of an opponent’s body.
20. PUSHING A player may not push the opponent with a hand or with the body.
