==Versions of lacrosse== ===Field lacrosse=== {{Main|Field lacrosse}} [[File:Mens lacrosse diagram.svg|thumb|Diagram of a men's college lacrosse field]] Field lacrosse is the men's outdoor version of the sport. There are ten players on each team: three attackmen, three [[Midfielder (lacrosse)|midfielders]], three defensemen, and one [[goaltender (field lacrosse)|goalie]]. Each player carries a [[lacrosse stick]]. A short stick measures between {{convert|40|and|42|in|cm}} long and is used by attackmen and midfielders. A maximum of four players on the field per team may carry a long stick which is between {{convert|52|and|72|in|cm}} long and is used by the three defensemen and sometimes one defensive midfielder. The goalie uses a stick with a head as wide as {{convert|12|in|cm}} that can be between {{convert|40|and|72|in|cm}} long.<ref name="equipment">{{cite web|title=Equipment for Boys' and Men's Lacrosse|url=https://www.uslacrosse.org/safety/equipment/player-equipment|publisher=US Lacrosse|access-date=November 8, 2017|archive-date=January 19, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210119093004/https://uslacrosse.org/safety/equipment/player-equipment|url-status=live}}</ref> The field of play is {{convert|110|by|60|yd|m}}. The goals are {{convert|6|by|6|ft|m|abbr=on}} and are {{convert|80|yd|m|abbr=on}} apart. Each goal sits inside a circular "crease", measuring {{convert|18|ft|m|abbr=on}} in diameter.<ref name="field">{{cite web|title=Field Diagrams|url=https://www.uslacrosse.org/rules/field-diagrams|publisher=US Lacrosse|access-date=November 9, 2017|archive-date=November 10, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171110114638/https://www.uslacrosse.org/rules/field-diagrams|url-status=live}}</ref> The goalie has special privileges within the crease to avoid opponents' stick checks. Offensive players or their sticks may not enter into the crease at any time. The mid-field line separates the field into an offensive and defensive zone for each team. Each team must keep four players in its defensive zone and three players in its offensive zone at all times. It does not matter which positional players satisfy the requirement, although usually the three attackmen stay in the offensive zone, the three defensemen and the goalie stay in the defensive zone, and the three middies play in both zones. A team that violates this rule is offsides and either loses possession of the ball if they have it or incurs a technical foul if they do not.<ref name=mensrules>{{cite web |url=https://www.uslacrosse.org/rules/mens-rules |title=Men's Rules |publisher=US Lacrosse |access-date=November 9, 2017 |archive-date=November 25, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201125060717/https://www.uslacrosse.org/rules/mens-rules |url-status=live }}</ref> [[File:Face-off.jpg|thumb|left|A face-off]] The regulation playing time of a game is 60 minutes, divided into four periods of 15 minutes each.<ref name=mensrules/> Play is started at the beginning of each quarter and after each goal with a [[Face-off#Field lacrosse|face-off]]. During a face-off, two players lay their sticks on the ground parallel to the mid-line, the two heads of their sticks on opposite sides of the ball. At the whistle, the face-off-men scrap for the ball, often by "clamping" it under their stick and flicking it out to their teammates. When one of the teams has possession of the ball, they bring it into their offensive zone and try to score a goal. Due to the offsides rule, settled play involves six offensive players versus six defensive players and a goalie.<ref name="basics">{{cite web|title=Getting started: Beginners Lacrosse 101|url=http://www.lacrosse.com/guide/getting-started-beginners-lacrosse-101/|website=Lacrosse.com|access-date=November 9, 2017|archive-date=February 7, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190207014924/http://www.lacrosse.com/guide/getting-started-beginners-lacrosse-101/|url-status=dead}}</ref> If the ball goes out of bounds, possession is awarded against the team that touched it last. The exception is when the ball is shot towards the goal. Missed shots that go out of bounds are awarded to the team that has the player who is the closest to the ball when and where the ball goes out. During play, teams may substitute players in and out if they leave and enter the field through the substitution area, sometimes referred to as "on the fly". After penalties and goals, players may freely substitute and do not have to go through the substitution area.<ref name=boysrules>{{cite web |url=https://www.uslacrosse.org/rules/boys-rules |title=Boys' Rules |publisher=US Lacrosse |access-date=November 9, 2017 |archive-date=January 26, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210126120500/https://uslacrosse.org/rules/boys-rules |url-status=live }}</ref> Penalties are awarded for rule violations and result in the offending team losing possession (loss of possession) or temporarily losing a player (time serving). During time serving penalties, the penalized team plays with one fewer player for the duration of the penalty. Time serving penalties are either releasable or non-releasable. When serving a releasable penalty, the offending player may re-enter play if a goal is scored by the opposing team during the duration of the penalty. Non-releasable penalties do not allow this and the player must serve the entire duration. In conjunction with the offsides rule, the opponent may play with six attackers versus the penalized team's five defenders and goalie. The team that has taken the penalty is said to be playing [[shorthanded|man down]], while the other team is [[Power play (sporting term)#Lacrosse|man up]]. Teams will use various [[lacrosse strategy|lacrosse strategies]] to attack and defend while a player is being penalized.<ref name="mensrules" /> There are two classes of rule violations that result in penalties: technical fouls and personal fouls. Technical fouls, such as offsides, pushing, and holding, result in either a loss of possession or a 30-second penalty, depending on which team has the ball. Personal fouls, such as cross-checking, illegal body checking, or slashing, concern actions that endanger player safety. Cross-checking is when a player strikes another player with the shaft of the stick between his hands. A slash is when a player strikes another player with the end of the stick anywhere besides the gloves. These fouls draw 1-minute or longer penalties; the offending player must leave the field.<ref name="mensrules" /> ===Box lacrosse=== {{Main|Box lacrosse}} [[File:Box Lacrosse.jpg|thumb|A game of box lacrosse in the [[National Lacrosse League|NLL]]]] Box lacrosse is played by teams of five runners plus a goalie on an [[ice hockey rink]] where the ice has been removed or covered by artificial turf, or in an indoor soccer field. The enclosed playing area is called a box, in contrast to the open playing field of the traditional game.<ref name="lax-101">{{cite web | url = http://www.nll.com/about/box-lax-101/ | title = Box Lax 101 | access-date = November 15, 2017 | publisher = [[National Lacrosse League]] | archive-date = November 16, 2017 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20171116030940/http://www.nll.com/about/box-lax-101/ | url-status = live }}</ref> This version of the game was introduced in Canada in the 1930s to promote business for hockey arenas outside of the ice hockey season.<ref name=fisher>{{cite book |last= Fisher |first= Donald M. |year= 2002 |title= Lacrosse: A History of the Game |url= https://archive.org/details/lacrossehistoryo0000fish |url-access= registration |publisher=Johns Hopkins University Press |isbn=0-8018-6938-2 }}</ref>{{rp|page=157}} Within several years it had nearly supplanted field lacrosse in Canada.<ref name=fisher />{{rp|page=120}} The goals in box lacrosse are smaller than field lacrosse, traditionally {{convert|4|ft|m|abbr=on}} wide and tall. Also, the [[Goaltender (box lacrosse)|goaltender]] wears much more protective padding, including a massive chest protector and armguard combination known as "uppers", large shin guards known as leg pads (both of which must follow strict measurement guidelines), and ice hockey-style goalie masks.<ref name="lax-101"/><ref name=Z4Laxx>{{cite web|url=http://www.zone4laxx.com/box_lacrosse_equipment_guideline.htm |title=Box Lacrosse Equipment Guideline |publisher=Zone4Laxx.com |access-date=October 28, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081121180039/http://www.zone4laxx.com/box_lacrosse_equipment_guideline.htm |archive-date=November 21, 2008 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The style of the game is quick, accelerated by the close confines of the floor and a [[shot clock]]. The shot clock requires the attacking team to take a shot on goal within 30 seconds of gaining possession of the ball.<ref name="lax-101"/> Box lacrosse is also a much more physical game. Since cross checking is legal in box lacrosse, players wear rib pads and the shoulder and elbow pads are bigger and stronger than what field lacrosse players wear. Box lacrosse players wear a hockey helmet with a box lacrosse cage. There is no offsides in box lacrosse, the players substitute freely from their bench areas as in hockey. However, most players specialize in offense or defense, so usually all five runners substitute for teammates as their team transitions between offense and defense.<ref name=explained>{{YouTube |id=lZon8PxXQU4 |title=The Rules of Indoor Lacrosse / Box Lacrosse - EXPLAINED!}}</ref> For penalties, the offending player is sent to the [[penalty box]] and his team has to play without him, or [[short handed|man-down]], for the length of the penalty. Most fouls are minor penalties and last for two minutes, major penalties for serious offenses last five minutes. What separates box lacrosse (and ice hockey) from other sports is that at the top levels of professional and junior lacrosse, participating in a fight does not automatically cause an ejection, but a five-minute major penalty is given.<ref name="lax-101"/> Box lacrosse is played at the highest level in the [[National Lacrosse League]] and by the Senior A divisions of the [[Canadian Lacrosse Association]]. The National Lacrosse League (NLL) employs some minor rule changes from the Canadian Lacrosse Association (CLA) rules. Notably, the goals are {{convert|4|ft|9|in|m}} wide instead of {{convert|4|ft|m}} and the games are played during the winter.<ref name="lax-101"/><ref name=nllrule/> The NLL games consist of four fifteen-minute quarters compared with three periods of twenty minutes each in CLA games. NLL players may only use sticks with hollow shafts, while CLA permits solid wooden sticks.<ref name=nllrule>{{cite web|url=http://www.nll.com/wp-content/uploads/NLL2017Rulebook.pdf |title=National Lacrosse League 2017 Official Rules |publisher=National Lacrosse League |access-date=November 15, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170606134807/http://www.nll.com/wp-content/uploads/NLL2017Rulebook.pdf |archive-date=June 6, 2017 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last= Vennum |first= Thomas |title= American Indian Lacrosse: Little Brother of War |url= https://archive.org/details/americanindianla0000venn |url-access= registration |publisher= Smithsonian Institution |year= 2002 |isbn= 978-1560983026 |page= [https://archive.org/details/americanindianla0000venn/page/287 287]}}</ref> ===Women's lacrosse=== [[File:2005 NCAA Women's Lacrosse Championship - Virginia Cavaliers vs Northwestern Wildcats.jpg|thumb|2005 [[NCAA Division I Women's Lacrosse Championship]]]] {{Main|Women's lacrosse}} The rules of women's lacrosse differ significantly from men's lacrosse, most notably by equipment and the degree of allowable physical contact.<ref name="FIL women's rules">{{cite web|title=2015-2018 Women's Official Rules|url=https://filacrosse.com/wp-content/downloads/women/Rules/FIL_WomensRuleBookJuly2017GAONLINE_Aug2017.pdf|publisher=Federation of International Lacrosse|access-date=November 15, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171116034547/https://filacrosse.com/wp-content/downloads/women/Rules/FIL_WomensRuleBookJuly2017GAONLINE_Aug2017.pdf|archive-date=November 16, 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref> Women's lacrosse rules also differ significantly between the US and all other countries, who play by the Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) rules. Women's lacrosse does not allow physical contact; the only protective equipment worn is a mouth guard and eye guard. In the early part of the 21st century, there were discussions of requiring headgear to prevent concussions. In 2008, Florida was the first state to mandate headgear in women's lacrosse.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.naplesnews.com/story/sports/high-school/lacrosse/2018/02/19/girls-lacrosse-fhsaa-hopes-helmets-cut-down-concussions/352069002/|title=Girls lacrosse: FHSAA hopes helmets will cut down on concussions|website=Naples Daily News|language=en|access-date=January 18, 2019|archive-date=January 19, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190119123907/https://www.naplesnews.com/story/sports/high-school/lacrosse/2018/02/19/girls-lacrosse-fhsaa-hopes-helmets-cut-down-concussions/352069002/|url-status=live}}</ref> Stick checking is permitted in the women's game, but only in certain levels of play and within strict rules. Women's lacrosse also does not allow players to have a pocket, or loose net, on the lacrosse stick. Women start the game with a "draw" instead of a face-off. The two players stand up and the ball is placed between their stick heads while their sticks are horizontal at waist-height. At the whistle, the players lift their sticks into the air, trying to control where the ball goes.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.winnerslacrosse.org/blog/drawsvsfaceoffs|title=LACROSSE 101: DRAWS VS.

There are 12 players in women's lacrosse and players must abide by certain boundaries that do not exist in men's play. The three specific boundaries are the {{convert|8|m|ftin|adj=mid|sp=us}} "fan" in front of the goal ({{convert|11|m|ftin|abbr=on|sp=us|disp=sqbr}} internationally), the {{convert|12|m|ftin|adj=mid|sp=us}} ({{convert|8|m|ftin|abbr=on|sp=us|disp=sqbr}} internationally) half circle that surrounds the 8-meter fan, and the draw circle in the center of the field, which is used for draws to start quarters and after goals. The goal circle is also positioned slightly closer to the end line in women's lacrosse compared to men's. In women's lacrosse on either the offensive or defensive end, the players besides the goaltender are not able to step inside the goal circle; this becomes a "goal-circle violation". However, at the women's collegiate level, defenders may pass through the goal circle.<ref>{{cite web |title=2019 Youth Girls' Rulebook |url=https://www.uslacrosse.org/sites/default/files/public/documents/rules/2019-girls-youth-rulebook.pdf |publisher=US Lacrosse |access-date=August 14, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190814170219/https://www.uslacrosse.org/sites/default/files/public/documents/rules/2019-girls-youth-rulebook.pdf |archive-date=August 14, 2019 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The 8-meter fan that is in front of the goal circle has a few restrictions in it. Defenders cannot stand inside the 8-meter fan longer than 3 seconds without being a stick-length away from the offensive player they are guarding. This is very similar to the [[three-second rule]] in basketball. A three seconds violation results in a player from the other team taking a free shot against the goalie. If you are an attacker trying to shoot the ball into the goal, you are not supposed to take a shot while a defender is in "shooting space". To make sure that you, the defender, are being safe, you want to lead with your [[lacrosse stick]] and once you are a sticks-length away, you can be in front of her.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.uslacrosse.org/sites/default/files/public/documents/rules/2016-womens-rulebook.pdf |title=2016 Women's Rulebook |publisher=US Lacrosse |access-date=November 15, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160919152242/http://www.uslacrosse.org/sites/default/files/public/documents/rules/2016-womens-rulebook.pdf |archive-date=September 19, 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref> ===Lacrosse sixes=== {{main|Lacrosse sixes}} [[Lacrosse sixes]] is a variant of lacrosse played outdoors with six players on each side.<ref name="Graham 2022">{{cite web | last=Graham | first=Pat | title=Lacrosse's new, fast-paced version may be path into LA Games | website=AP News | date=August 13, 2022 | url=https://apnews.com/article/sacred-rivers-winter-olympics-sports-canada-lacrosse-rugby-sevens-4b124510a5f0cbfc484c805d9235ac44 | access-date=November 15, 2023 | archive-date=November 15, 2023 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231115154419/https://apnews.com/article/sacred-rivers-winter-olympics-sports-canada-lacrosse-rugby-sevens-4b124510a5f0cbfc484c805d9235ac44 | url-status=live }}</ref> The game follows similar rules to traditional field lacrosse, with modifications and a shorter game time.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=World Lacrosse Announces Name, Branding and First Phase of World Lacrosse Sixes |url=https://www.usalaxmagazine.com/usa-insider/international/world-lacrosse-announces-name-branding-and-first-phase-of-world-lacrosse |access-date=August 5, 2023 |website=www.usalaxmagazine.com |language=en |archive-date=August 5, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230805023352/https://www.usalaxmagazine.com/usa-insider/international/world-lacrosse-announces-name-branding-and-first-phase-of-world-lacrosse |url-status=dead }}</ref> It was created in 2021 by World Lacrosse in a bid to achieve lacrosse's participation in the [[Olympic Games]], and will make its Olympic debut at the [[2028 Olympic Games|2028 edition]] in Los Angeles.<ref name="Zaccardi 2023">{{cite web | last=Zaccardi | first=Nick | title=A lacrosse legend's unique seat for Olympic addition after decades driving its rise | website=NBC Sports | date=October 23, 2023 | url=https://www.nbcsports.com/olympics/news/lacrosse-olympics-2028-los-angeles | access-date=November 15, 2023 | archive-date=November 15, 2023 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231115154418/https://www.nbcsports.com/olympics/news/lacrosse-olympics-2028-los-angeles | url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="Inside Lacrosse 2020">{{cite web | title=The Inside Story of How Lacrosse Sixes Was Created, and Why It's Paramount to Olympic Inclusion | website=Inside Lacrosse | date=January 30, 2020 | url=https://www.insidelacrosse.com/article/the-inside-story-of-how-lacrosse-sixes-was-created-and-why-it-s-paramount-to-olympic-inclusion/62194 | access-date=November 15, 2023 | archive-date=November 15, 2023 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231115154419/https://www.insidelacrosse.com/article/the-inside-story-of-how-lacrosse-sixes-was-created-and-why-it-s-paramount-to-olympic-inclusion/62194 | url-status=live }}</ref> Lacrosse sixes has similar rules for men and women but preserves some differences, such as the amount of contact allowed.<ref name="Sixes Magazine">{{cite web | title=Inside the Fast-Paced Sixes Discipline: 'The Play Doesn't Stop' | website=USA Lacrosse Magazine | date=September 27, 2021 | url=https://www.usalaxmagazine.com/usa-insider/usa-lacrosse/inside-the-fast-paced-sixes-discipline-the-play-doesnt-stop | access-date=November 15, 2023 | archive-date=November 15, 2023 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231115154929/https://www.usalaxmagazine.com/usa-insider/usa-lacrosse/inside-the-fast-paced-sixes-discipline-the-play-doesnt-stop | url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name="Inside Lacrosse 2020"/> The major rule differences as compared to traditional field lacrosse are as follows:<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Cochrane |first=Ryder |date=November 20, 2020 |title=6v6 Lacrosse -
