New NCAA Head Rules for 2010

The NCAA rules committee has changed the allowed heads for the 2010 season in order to prevent injuries that may occur because harder stick and body checks to try and dislodge the ball from the current lacrosse heads.

As a result, all lacrosse heads are now wider in the throat area, which allows more "free dislodgment of the ball" during the course of a game.

There are three categories of men's lacrosse heads that will be allowed moving forward.

They are:

NCAA Legal - tight towards top of head
*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
*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 organization for further clarification on the rule changes in your area.
