True Canadian style box lacrosse
This is true Canadian-style box lacrosse played on a full sized floor indoors at Halsey field house located on the grounds of the United States naval Academy.
Benefits of Box Lacrosse:
1) FAAASST! With a confined playing area, everything is accelerated- players have to handle pressure, make quick decisions and be able to thread the needle with passes and shots. A 30 second shot clock keeps the game moving.
2) Less down time. Missed shots and passes that hit the boards stay in play and reduce stoppages.
3) Less players on the field equals more touches per game. Everyone plays both sides of the floor. Increased participation equals more engagement and excitement.
4) Smaller goals and no defense sticks force players to play with finesse and and technique forcing them to improve their fundamentals
RULES:
- USBOXLA rules
- Five runners and one goalie on the floor
- No long sticks
- Game times range from 30 min to 40 minutes (tournament/ league)

What equipment do you need?
For everybody except goalies, you can use the equipment you wear for field lacrosse. It is strongly recommended that all participants wear rib pads. A quick internet search for "box lacrosse rib pads" should help you find them. The approximate cost is roughly $40. Additionally, if your son doesn't have big arm guards, those are strongley recommended as well.
GOALIE EQUIPMENT: Goalies wear a completely different set of stuff. See the picture to your right. It's typically pretty expensive. For league play at Navy, We will supply goalie equipment on game day. Be sure to bring your own helmet, athletic supporter & goalie stick
