The SFIA Lacrosse Council supports US Lacrosses work in reducing the risk of injury in womens lacrosse based on ongoing research and supports their position regarding the proposed Maryland legislation originally intended to require helmets for girls lacrosse play.
In a statement, the group said, “We believe the critical element in making the game safe is to educate lacrosse coaches, officials, players, parents and fans on the rules of lacrosse and we support US Lacrosse’s effort to do so. We are committed to working with national governing bodies and rules and standards organizations to help develop safety standards around protective equipment and to building protective gear that meets or exceeds those standards.”
