Providence Youth Tournament Game Play & Rules 2021-2025 Divisions

All Games will be played under US Lacrosse Youth rules with the following modifications:

Game Play 1. Games start and end on one Central Horn, as does Half Time. 2. Games will run on fifty (50) minute blocks. 3. Playing time will consist of two (2) twenty (20) minute running halves with a three (3) minute halftime. 4. Teams will have zero (0) timeouts. 5. Tie Games at the end of regulation will immediately go into a two (2) minute sudden death overtime

beginning with a face-off unless either team ends game with possession in an extra man situation, in which case they will receive the ball to start OT. If the game remains tied after the overtime period, a 1v1 Braveheart will immediately follow until a winner is determined.

Game Rules 1. Man-up on Time served penalties. All penalties will be running time. The penalty clock will begin

when the official blows the whistle to restart play. Penalty time will be kept on the field by the officials.

2. Substitutions will be on the fly only, except on a time serving penalty. For time serving penalties, teams will be allowed a quick substitution to get EMO/EMD on the field.

3. There will be no stick checks unless requested by the opposing coach. If a requested stick is found to be illegal, a sixty (60) second non-releasable penalty will be assessed. If the stick is found to be legal, the challenging team will be assessed a 30-second releasable penalty. Coaches may request one (1) stick check per game. No stick checks are permitted in the last ten minutes of regulation or overtime. Sticks may meet either NCAA or NFHS standards. The “No U-Shooter String” rule will NOT be enforced in the youth divisions

4. Braveheart Rules: For a Braveheart, each team will send two (2) players, one of whom HAS to be a goalie. One player from each team must always remain on the defensive half of the field.

5. Body checking will be called tightly in the interest of player safety. A one to three-minute non-releasable penalty will be called for a body check that is to the head and neck area, on a defenseless player, a blindside hit, or deemed excessive. These penalties are unnecessary roughness and not in the spirit of summer tournament play. Repeat unnecessary roughness offenses may result in the ejection from a game. *NO big body hits are allowed in the 2023 Divisions and younger.

6. Helmets required during pre-game warm-up and practice time: All players must properly wear the mandatory protective helmet when they are on the field or engaging in warm-ups or any drills that involve passing, shooting or scrimmaging.

7. Clearing Count: A team has twenty (20) seconds to clear over the midline and ten (10) seconds to touch it into the box. *The 2023 Division and younger will not have any clearing counts.

8. Keep It In: When there is less than two (2) minutes remaining in the game, if a team is in the lead then they must get it in and keep it in the box.

9. Faceoffs: Same as NFHS & US Lacrosse; Players will go down and then the ball will be placed in the center.

10. Over and Back Rule: US Lacrosse rules in place for youth. *The 2023 Division and younger will not have any “Over and Back” Rule.
