EXTENDED LEAGUE RULES
Point of Emphasis for Officials, Coaches, Players and Fans
The Far Post is hosting the High School Winter Lacrosse League
(the “League”) with the understanding that all League play is
for off-season developmental purposes and to prepare players for
the outdoor game.
Girls’ high school lacrosse rules apply, including those with
regard to equipment and penalties, and shall be enforced in the
same manner as in the outdoor game, except for a number of
modifications that have been made to accommodate play on the
smaller indoor fields or in the interests of player safety.
While officials have been advised that the Far Post expects
penalties to be called in accordance with the rules of lacrosse,
the Far Post expects League officials to “err” on the side of
safety. All coaches involved with teams in the League are
expected to understand and support the Far Post’s philosophy
with regard to officiating as well as its rules for player
conduct and safety.
SPORTSMANSHIP:
Poor sportsmanship, taunting, trash talking, fighting or other
unbecoming behavior on the part of players, coaches, parents or
fans will not be tolerated. All persons involved with the
League or visiting the Far Post are expected to “Honor the Game”
and act in a manner consistent with the businesslike operation
of the Far Post.
Only head coaches are permitted to address the officials;
coaches are expected to do so in a courteous manner.
Fighting will result in immediate ejection from the game, a
one-game suspension from the League and/or expulsion of the
offending players from the League without a refund.
All coaches with teams playing at the Far Post shall be given
the right to evaluate officials and comment on the control of
the games. The Far Post will address any concerns with the
officials as necessary or appropriate, in its reasonable
discretion.
The Far Post is a privately owned facility and management
reserves the right to adopt and implement such other rules or
regulations as it determines are necessary or appropriate to
accommodate indoor play on a smaller playing field or the
interests of player safety.
The Far Post expects the officials, coaches, players and fans to
comport themselves in accordance with the rules
