Game Rules and Format
How Pick-Up Games Work
- Players play two 25 Minute running halves with a 3 minute halftime. Teams switch ends in the second half.
- Teams will be divided on site at the start of each game.
- All players must bring a reversible pinny — white on one side, color on the other.
- If the score of a game is lopsided due to how the teams are divided — players will be traded at halftime to make the game more even.
- Standard lacrosse rules apply to pick up lacrosse.
- Games will be reffed by NJLT staff.
- Zero tolerance for any unnecessary physical play. Players are here to play in an organized game in the offseason — no need for any overly physical play.
- In the event that there are not enough players for full field games, we will move to play fast lax or short sided games. If turnout at a session is under 5, we will run small sided drills and players are coached by the NJLT staff member on site.
- If more than two goalies are at a session, they will split time. If less than 2 goalies are at a session we will put up a shot blocker in a goal.
