Where can I go for MLL rrules? I am totally new to this but am very interested. What is the ball weight and how fast are the fastest shots?

maref

The ball is between 5 and 5.25 ounces and some middle school shots can go 75 to 80 mph while college and pros can shoot around the 90's to 100 mph. Want to play goalie??

LAX is LIFE

here are the stick requirements
Head must be 6.5 inches-10 inches wide at the widest point, inside measurement.

Head must be at least 10 inches long from the outside edge of the top of the head to the furthest exposed (NFHS) or unexposed (NCAA) edge of the ball stop.

Crosse must be 40"-42" (short stick) or 52"-72" (long pole), overall length. There is no rule regarding length of shaft or head taken alone, only as a unit.

Ball must dislodge freely from the stick when the head is rotated toward the ground. If the ball is still in the crosse when it reaches horizontal it is illegal, whether the ball subsequently rolls out or stays lodged.

Sidewall may not be more than 2" high (NCAA only; no mention in NFHS except GK sidewall may not be more than 2" high).

There may be no lip or hook in the mesh that might ensnare the ball.

Shaft may not be bent or cambered (although STX Crankshaft stick is legal for NCAA play when used as sold per COC Rules Bulletin).

The stick, when placed face-down on a table, may have no part more than 2.75 inches above the table.

Circumference of handle may not exceed 3.5 inches.

Under NFHS rules, a crosse may not have two ball stops.

The pocket may not be deep enough for you to see the top of the ball from the side.

The bottom part of the weaving must be firmly attached to the throat of the crosse

you cant have hanging strings or leathers more than 6 inches long.

you must have a ball stop

and you must have single colred mesh

Yeah as superstar said you cannot have double, triple, etc. colored mesh. This doesn't include diff. colored traditional. Also, there cannot be a white spot in your mesh where the ball is, that is also illegal.


edit by mod- illegal pinch is three minutes non releasable and the stcik get taken out of the game. everything else is one or two minutes no releasable

It's kinda hard but I've played a little on my friends who shoot like 60-70 and it doesn't really hurt all that mych when you get hit on the arms. The shins hurt a little, but still not much.

Haha, you just reminded me of a funny story about golaies. There was tis one tea i played that was kinda bad and the goaie was a wuss. He wore Catcher leg protection. It was hilarious.

But anyway, SuperStar pretty much covered al the ruels and everything you needed to know.
