Frequently Asked Questions
How is box different from field?
-30 SECOND SHOT CLOCK
-NO WINGS ON FACEOFF, LINE UP ON DEFENSIVE, OR OFFESNIVE END.
-BOARD PLAY IS LEGAL, MOST OFFICIALS WANT YOU TO TAKE AN ANGLE AND RIDE OUT, NOT TAKE OUT. THIS RULE IS SUBJECTIVE.
-OFFENSE CANNOT REACH IN THE CREASE.
-CHANGE ON THE FLY (SIMILAR TO MIDFIELDERS, OR HOCKEY).
-IF A GOALIE GETS HIT IN THE HEAD WITH THE SHOT, IT IS A DEAD BALL AND IT IS AWARDED TO THAT TEAM.
-CREASE DIVES ARE FUN, JUST BE SMART. AND STAY OUT OF THE CREASE.
-OVER AND BACK RULE ONCE YOU CROSS THE HALF LINE (SIMILAR TO BASKETBALL)
-PENALTIES ARE 2 MINUTES FOR MINORS, 5 MINUTES FOR MAJORS. HOPEFULLY WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS RULE MUCH.

Our experienced Snowdogs coaching staff has a strong background in box lacrosse, and many of our players have returned year after year to continue developing their game. We’ve seen firsthand how much box lacrosse can complement a player's field lacrosse development. The fast pace, tight spaces, quick decision-making, and physical nature of box help players develop skills that translate directly to the field.
