The Charlotte Fall Lacrosse League will be broken into 4 divisions - 3/4, 5/6, 7/8 and High School. Each team will play the other teams in their division throughout the CWLL season.
Official Rules: |
Each division will play with a mandadated pass rule throughout the entirety of the game. - 3/4th Grade Division - 2 Completed Passes - 5/6th Grade Division - 2 Consecutive, Completed Passes - 7/8th Grade Division - 2 Consecutive, Completed Passes - HS Division - 2 Consecutive, Completed Passes **Passes must occur on the offensive side of the field after clearing the ball** |
The pass rule resets after a change of possession or a shot should the Offense retain possession. **If the offense shoots or scores before the required passes are completed, the play results in a turnover** |
Field managers can adjusted any pass requirement rules as needed during the course of play. |
No timeouts are permitted. |
Any time-serving penalty (Personal or Techincal Fouls) will lead to the opposing team receiving a fast break. Penalties are not time serving and there will be no "man-down" situations. Players will be asked to sub off if the foul is deemed aggregous or has repeatedly occured by the same individual. |
Field managers will handle game time and scorekeepers will handle the score. |
In the event of a tie, teams will play one continuous sudden victory overtime period. Teams will remain at the same end of the field where they finished the regulation play. No time-outs permitted. After 5 minutes of running time, overtime game play the game will end in a tie. |
Decisions on the field are the final ruling. No disputes will be heard after the game. |
All participating players will play with a short stick. No long-poles are permitted. |
If your player's team does not have a full-time goalie, players can expect to play at least 1-half of goalie and are expected to be prepared to play in goal. - Saying, "I do not have a cup" is not a valid excuse and can result in their playing time being limited that game. |
23 and 1/2 minute running halves with a 3-minute halftime. |
