(all players must have all paperwork + $400 Dues to qualify for the roster).

-Open practice is over, evaluation for roster begins now – Also from now on if you seriously would like to play lacrosse for utsa you must commit your time for practice. Practice is mandatory on Mon. and Wed. 6-8 pm pre season. Evaluation begins this monday and will affect your participation in games.
(IF YOU ARE LATE FOR PRACTICE PLEASE CALL COACH KARL FISHER 210-325-8029)

-When there is rain for practice please check the e-mail as to know when practice is canceled (final decisions are made 4:00 pm), we are trying to set up a mass text message to notify when practice is rescheduled or canceled.

the NCAA rules committee was getting all sorts of jacked up about these 6′4″, 225 lb. middies running down the field cradling through and over 5-6 defensemen and sticking a high, hard one on an overmatched goalie. They felt that more injuries may occur because harder stick and body checks would be thrown to try and dislodge the ball from the current lacrosse heads. The solution? Change the lacrosse head specs for NCAA play, making the lacrosse heads wider in the throat area, which would allow more “free dislodgment of the ball” during the course of a game. What does all this mean to John Q Laxrat? We’ve tried to outline the changes and preempt any three-minute illegal stick penalties below.

There are three categories of men’s lacrosse heads moving forward. They are:

NCAA Legal – These babies are tight up top!
• Advantage -Tightest head allowed under new 2010 lacrosse head specifications.
• Disadvantage – Only legal for teams that play under 2010 NCAA Lacrosse Rules.

Legal for all levels of play – Universal, why take a chance?
• Advantage – Legal for every level of play, youth through professional.
• Disadvantage – None

Legal for all levels of play except NCAA – 99% of the heads on the market prior to fall of 2009
• Advantage – It is what is sitting in your closet or garage.
• Disadvantage – Not legal for NCAA play.

The new rules for NCAA 2010 lacrosse head specifications go into effect January 1, 2010.

Most youth and high school lacrosse programs will not be affected by the new lacrosse head specification changes. If you have any questions please contact your local lacrosse chapter or state organization for further clarification on the rule changes in your area.
