i think every body should get a shot clock set for 1:30 in middle school andhigh school and college it will make the game alot faster since it is the fatest game on two feet.

i wouldn't like a shot clock.
it would make things too fast paced and that isn't everybody's type of game.

Let the field game keep its own pace. The field game is all about tactics and using time as your advantage. You see much more plays set in field. They have much more time to do this.

I agree 1:30 is a little to much i think maby 1:00 min i dont no middle school should be 1:30 highschool 1:20 college 1:10 and pro 1:00 min or less.
I think it would be a great idea for it in all levles of lacrosse middleschool and higer but no leages lower than middle school, but its a great idea it will come into play soon i think.

I think the shot clock discourages more complex plays and encourages foolish runs to the goal. Basically it encourages less intelligence. That's better left to college where all the people playing are already very good. In high school, it wouldn't work cuz many lacrosse players start in high school. Same with middle school. It makes the newbies freak out and loose confidence. It makes them rush things when they need to learn the fundamentals first. Overall high school and middle school don't need it.
