Contact Rules

Oshawa City League is a recreational box lacrosse league; learning lacrosse, athletic skills, making new friends, and working in a team environment are our primary goals.  This means that we will follow the Lacrosse for Life development stages for game style, contact level, and equipment required.  Please take a moment to review this document especially the sections that concern your child.  Body contact is de-emphasized in City League in favour of the goals noted above.  Body contact will be introduced in Peewee and above.

  • U5 Peanut - strictly non-contact, no competitive games, skills & drills only
  • U7 & U9 – stick checking only, no body contact other than incidental (i.e. bumping while going for a loose ball)
  • U11 – stick checking, equal pressure in 24-foot only, no body contact other than incidental, intro to place and push
  • U13 & Senior - stick checking, place and push in the 24-foot only, matched contact only between players of equal size
