Pass Rule • After each draw control, one/two passes must be attempted to a player in the offensive end of the field before her team may shoot. Failure to do so will result in a minor foul. • After each change of possession in the defensive end of the field, one/two passes must be attempted to a player in the offensive end of the field before her team may shoot. Failure to do so will result in a minor foul. If incomplete or dropped but recovered by the offensive team -> will count as pass. • Pass cannot come from the goalie • The pass count resets only after ball is outside offensive side of restraining line
One pass rule: scenarios • A pass attempt is counted if it crosses midfield (pass from defensive end and caught in offensive end). • Pass count does not start again after shot recovered by offense: (rebound, wide shot, or by interception of the goalie’s clearing pass) • If offense has made required pass attemps and defense gains possession but turns it back over to offense before clearing restraining area, then pass count not restarted for offense • Umpires will not tell players "they can shoot", because additional passes might be the right thing to do.
Three second good defense • Player with the ball may not hold the ball for more than 3 seconds when: • Closely guarded/marked • The defense has both hands on her stick • The defense is in position to check were checking not allowed (U13 and below; U15 if criteria not met) (minor foul, change of possession at the spot) • Player with the ball takes her stick to the other side of her body or changes direction, stop count • Another teammate joins the defender and the 2nd defender is in position to check…do not stop count • Umpire – HOLD UP YOUR ARM! Audible and visible count (1-one thousand, 2-one thousand, whistle)
Shooting space • **Free Space to Goal: think of cone from ball to both sides of goal circle • Positioning applies to non-marking defenders when an attacker is looking to shoot • Not a foul - defender drawn into the free space to goal by an attacker (&within marking distance) : (be ready to call dangerous propelling) • Not a foul – defenders double or triple team attacker with the ball • Not a (shooting space) foul - defenders double or triple teaming a player without the ball (foul might be 3-seconds)
Emphasis: Major Foul –Three Second Violation and Obstruction of Free Space to Goal Professionalism, Responsibilities, Ethics Knowledge & Judgment Positioning, Field Coverage, and Fitness Game Management, Penalty Administration , Mechanics Comportment, Communication, Teamwork
