COASTALAX OFFICIAL SPEEDLAX RULE BOOK

Speedlax is a combined version of field & box lacrosse with teams not to exceed 6 athletes competing on a court in a 3 vs. 3 format. Speedlax recognizes the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) & its affiliates as the standard for the rules of traditional field lacrosse. However, as a separate entity, Speed Speedax exercises the right to develop its own Speedlax rules, programs, & events. NFHS rules shall apply to Speedlax programs & events except where specifically noted herein.

RULE 7 - FOUL ENFORCEMENT 

*7A Serving Foul Time

If a player commits a foul, he/she will report immediately to the sub box where the foul time will begin as soon as play is live. Foul time initiates with the ball being possessed in the pocket at the offended team’s midcourt without pressure from the defense.

*7B Foul Time Release

Foul time ends when the assigned :15 second penalty expires. The Court Guard will say “release”.

With the exception of a Sportsmanship foul (and potentially Heat), all fouls are “released” upon a scored goal by the fouled team. A goal scored by the short- handed team (fouling team) does not release the player in the sub box. Should a player from each team be serving foul time, both players will be released when a goal is scored by either team.

*7C Fouling Out

If a player receives 4 fouls he/she will be considered “fouled out” of the match & will report immediately to the bench area. If a substitute player is available, the player that fouled out may be substituted for before play resumes.

*7D Ejection

If a player is ejected from the match, he/she will report to the sub box & remain there until the match is over.

If a coach is ejected from play, he/she will be relegated to the spectator area provided the event management & attending Court Guard agree that the behavior warrants remaining on the premises.
