Crosse in the Sphere:
- Defense – Reach into or through the sphere or hold her crosse around the throat of an opponent. She may not directly poke or wave the crosse near an opponent’s face. 2. Offense – (Illegal cradle): hold, with or without cradling, the head of her crosse in front of her face or her teammate’s face, within the sphere or close to her body, or her teammate’s body, making a legal/safe check impossible
Dangerous Contact
(MANDATORY CARD): any action that thrusts or shoves any player with or without the ball who is in a defenseless position. This includes but is not limited to: head down, from out of the visual field, in the air, or out of balance, especially in the kidneys, ribs, lower back, shoulder blades or aimed at the neck or head.
Check to the Head
(MANDATORY CARD): hit or cause her opponent’s crosse to hit the opponent’s head.
Slash:
(MANDATORY CARD) reckless and/or dangerous swing of the crosse at an opponent’s crosse or body. A slash will be called regardless of whether or not contact is made with an opponent’s crosse or body.
Dangerous Propelling
(MANDATORY CARD): propel the ball with her crosse in a dangerous or uncontrolled manner at any time. NOTE: A shot, throw, bat, or flick of the ball without regard to the positioning of a field player is dangerous propelling.
Dangerous Follow-Through
(MANDATORY CARD): follow through with her crosse in a dangerous or uncontrolled manner at any time
Rough/Dangerous Check:
Roughly or recklessly check another player’s crosse. A player may not check toward the body or make a sweeping check from behind that contacts the opponent’s body. No player’s crosse may hit or cause her opponent’s crosse to hit the opponent’s body.
Illegal Contact:
Crosse to body, or body to crosse contact, for example: 1. A stick held in a horizontal position that makes contact with an opponent’s body. 2. A player pushing into an opponent’s stick.
Cross-Check:
Use the shaft of the crosse to hit, push or displace an opponent. This includes, but is not limited to, thrusting, jabbing, pushing or displacing any part of an opponent’s body.
Illegal Use of the Crosse:
Use the crosse in a dangerous and/or intimidating manner.
Three Seconds:
While defending within the 8-meter arc, remain in that area more than 3 seconds unless one is marking an opponent within a stick’s length. The 3-second rule is in effect when the team in possession of the ball crosses the ball over the restraining line into their attacking end of the field. 1. The defense is not exempt from the 3-second rule by virtue of double teaming/multiple teaming a non-ball attack player in the arc. The 3-second count will continue against the original non-marking defense player within the arc, until there is again only one defender on the non-ball attacker. 2. A defensive player, who is marking an unmarked opponent who is standing directly behind the goal circle is exempt from the 3-second rule, but is responsible to simultaneously abide by Rule 6-1k. A defensive player who is marking an unmarked opponent who is standing directly behind the goal circle cannot be penalized for the 3-second rule when drawn into a double or multiple team by the attacking non-ball players.
Obstruction of the Free Space to Goal
(shooting space): with any part of her body guard the goal outside the goal circle so as to obstruct the free space to goal, between the ball and the goal circle, which denies the attack the opportunity to shoot safely and encourages shooting at a player. The Obstruction of the Free Space to Goal rule is in effect when the ball is within the critical scoring area and above the goal line extended. 1. This positioning applies only if initiated by the defender and not if she is drawn into the free space to goal by an attacking player. 2. This positioning applies to a defender not marking an attack player within a stick’s length.
Dangerous Shot:
Shoot dangerously or without control at the goalkeeper. 1. A dangerous shot is judged on the basis of the combination of distance, force and placement. 2. A shot should not be directed at the goalkeeper’s body, especially her head or neck. This would not apply if she moves into the path of the ball. 3. A shot may be uncontrolled even if it misses the goal.
Forcing Through:
Force her crosse through an opposing crosse(s) while in possession of the ball.
Pushing:
Push the opponent with the hand or body
Reach Across the Body:
Reach across an opponent to check the crosse when she is level with or behind her.
Blocking:

Illegal Pick:
