THSLL 2008 Rule Book:

– The THSLL uses the NCAA rule book and then adds additional or clarifying rules.

Table Training• THSLL 2008 Rule Book states:

– Game Behavior Problems: If the officials need to stop the game due to improper behavior on the field or in the stands, the official will then ask the on-site administrator to control or eject the offending fan from the premises. [THSLL recommends that the visiting team also have a site admin at the game to assist the home team if needed]


– Game Behavior Problems: If the officials need to stop the game due to improper behavior on the field or in the stands, the official will then ask the on-site administrator or head coach [defacto on site administrator] to control or eject the offending fan from the premises.

– If the fan is not controlled or does not leave the premises, the game will be stopped and the offending team will lose the game.




– If player(s) are ejected, the player must leave the site of the game. The player may not remain on the sideline or sit in the stands. It is up to the head coach to comply or his team will forfeit the game. [Check with the officials… if the player has no parents with him to take him home and you are the away team exceptions can be made].




– If player(s) are ejected, the player must leave the site of the game. The player may not remain on the sideline or sit in the stands. It is up to the head coach to comply or his team will forfeit the game.

– The team of the ejected player is responsible for supervising that player when needed.


– Team Sideline Policy:• The scorers table may contain a total of 5

people.


– Team Sideline Policy:• The scorers table should contain a total of 5

people.• This includes 3 from the home team [official

scorekeeper, game timer, penalty time keeper] and 2 from the visiting team [scorekeeper and assistant]. Please do not exceed these numbers.


– Team Sideline Policy:• The scorers table should contain a total of 5

people.• This includes 3 from the home team [official

scorekeeper, game timer, penalty time keeper] and 3 from the visiting team [scorekeeper and assistant].

• The THSLL recommends that table personnel do not wear team clothing as they are an extension of the officials. This is not a rule yet.

Table Training• Clocks:

– I highly recommend the Lax Clock – worth the investment. You can purchase the waterproof/padded carrying case for another $40

$140

Table Training• Clocks:

– For penalty clocks… get ones that count down. It is difficult for most people to do the math when a coach wants to know how much time is left.

– You don’t have to spend a lot of money either!

RecordsKeeping

Records Keeping

• NCAA Appendix II – Records Keeping: Uniformity of Records

Records Keeping• Just a reminder that the only stats that the home team

is required to keep for both teams are

– goals [time & player]

– penalties [player, time, type and length]

– time-outs [time and quarter]

• All other stats are for your team’s records– Some stats can be subjective; did the scorer dodge or take more

than 1 step in order to credit the assist? It’s a judgment call

Records Keeping• NCAA Appendix II – Records Keeping: Uniformity of Records

– Goalkeeper Save – A save is recorded any time a ball is stopped or deflected by the goalkeeper’s body or crosse in such a manner that had the ball not been stopped or deflected, it would have entered the goal.



• If the goalie catches or deflects a pass/shot that would have traveled outside of the goal this is not a save. [a ground ball can be awarded if it meets the ground ball rules]



– Assist – any one direct pass by a player to a teammate who then scores a goal without having to dodge or evade an opponent, other than the goalkeeper who is in the crease, is recorded as an assist. There can only be one assist on any goal scored.



– Assist – any one direct pass by a player to a teammate who then scores a goal without having to dodge or evade an opponent, other that the goalkeeper who is in the crease, is recorded as an assist. There can only be one assist on any goal scored.

– Assist – any one direct pass by a player to a teammate who then scores a goal without having to dodge or evade an opponent, other that the goalkeeper who is in the crease, is recorded as an assist. There can only be one assist on any goal scored. [Record tip: use A+ to note goals with quick succession passing where you wish more assists could be recorded]


– Time Of Goal – time remaining in the quarter is recorded as the time of goal [along with penalty time, time-outs, etc]. The game clock shows the time remaining in the quarter.




– Time Of Goal – time remaining in the quarter is recorded as the time of goal [along with penalty time, time-outs, etc].

– Shot – a ball propelled toward the goal, either by being

thrown from a crosse, kicked or otherwise physically directed. A shot can be awarded only when possession of the ball can be reasonably said to have occurred, by ricochet or when a controlled effort can be construed (similar to a controlled tip in basketball).

A shot can be awarded only when possession of the ball can be reasonably said to have occurred, by ricochet or when a controlled effort can be construed (similar to a controlled tip in basketball).

– Goal – a ball that enters the goal… A ball that ricochets off a player and scores will be awarded as a shot & goal by the player deemed to have scored the goal. [again a goal that is scored off of the defensive team is credited as a team goal].

Records Keeping• NCAA Appendix II – Records Keeping: Uniformity of

Records– Clear – the attempt by one team to move the ball from its

defensive end of the field into it’s offensive end of the field.

• A clear fails when this attempt is unsuccessful.• A successful clear should be awarded only when the clearing

team crossed the center line with the ball and is clearly able to get an offensive attempt from the play. Advancing the ball across the center line is not an automatic clear if the clearing team loses possession of the ball almost immediately.

• The goalie does not have to touch the ball in order for a successful clear to be awarded.

• A failure to clear should not be recorded when the defense is playing ‘man-down’


Records– Clear – the attempt by one team to move the ball from its defensive end of the field into

it’s offensive end of the field.• A clear fails when this attempt is unsuccessful.• A successful clear should be awarded only when the clearing team crossed the center

line with the ball and is clearly able to get an offensive attempt from the play. Advancing the ball across the center line is not an automatic clear if the clearing team loses possession of the ball almost immediately.

• The goalie does not have to touch the ball in order for a successful clear to be awarded.

• A failure to clear should not be recorded when the defense is playing ‘man-down’

– Extra-Man Offense & Defense – …. If both teams are equal but short of men, it is not an extra man opportunity.

• An extra-man goal mat be credited to the appropriate team if the other teams player has not made it into the scrimmage area before the goal is scored.


Records– Extra-Man Offense & Defense – …. If both teams are equal but short of men, it is not an

extra man opportunity.


– Face Off – the standard of face-off stats is to award the FO to the FO Specialist [when his team gains possession of the ball], regardless of whether he gained possession himself.





– Face Off – the standard of face-off stats is to award the FO to the FOS [when his team gains possession of the ball], regardless of whether he gained

possession himself. A face-off should be awarded to a team only when it gets a clear offensive or defensive opportunity out of the play.

– Turn-over – anytime a team looses possession of the ball, whether by being knocked loose, going out of bounds, etc. A turn-over is not recorded when a specific player creates the turn-over by means of a take-away



– Ground Ball – any ball that is not in possession of one team that comes into the possession of the other team in live-ball play can be a ground ball.




• This may occur on an intercepted pass [the ball does not have to hit the ground] or from a ball checked loose onto the ground.





• The ball must be obtained under pressure [an opposing player must be within 5 yards of the loose ball].






• The player gaining possession must be able to perform immediately the normal functions of possession [shoot, pass, cradle, etc].







• A player can not drop the ball of his own volition, pick it up again and be credited with a ground ball.







• A player can not drop the ball of his own volition, pick it up again and be credited with a ground ball.

– The NCAA rule-book has many, many examples of these rules. The rule book can be found on-line through US Lacrosse’s web site.


Records

Some say that the spotter actually has a harder job than the score keeper as they need to call out everything for the score keeper to record. Think of spotter as being a play by play announcer.

Review of Scorebooks• Brine & Warrior• What’s the Score

Reminder: Not all stats are required – check with your coach and team administrators. If you need to have extra scorebooks and have other parents in the stands keep track of non-essential stats [i.e. which quarters each player plays, clears, turn-overs, etc] please do so. Anything to make your job at the table easier!
