2023 US Lacrosse RULES INTERPRETATIONS

USAL 2023 HS Rules Interpretation Video.

*Note a correction: At the draw, when officials hands touch the sticks, the new rule states that no one may enter the area between the restraining lines until possession is established; however, players may exit that area (between the RLs) during that time (but not at all through the sub  box until possession is gained).
