Information for Coaches and Administrators

 

Information about the game, it's rules and equipment are constantly changing. Although the sectional coordinators send materials directly to coaches and Athletic Directors, they have, until recently, been placed in an annual 'handbook' which has been discontinued for 2020.

Information can come from many different sources, including NYS, NYSPHSAA, National Federation of State High School Associations (who provide rules) and various lacrosse committees.
