STICK INFORMATION
The DeBeer Essence stick and any stick with a bent shaft are not legal for IFWLA play i.e. any play above inter-club or inter-school match level.
DeBeer Essence link
Example of a bent shaft
Rule of thumb
All representative matches (Home Scots, Rest of Scotland, Junior Scotland, U19s, U21s, Senior National) – all players must use IFWLA approved sticks as described on IFWLA/FIL website (see link below)
Club/school play in Scotland; players can use whatever stick they used before the new stick ruling came in, BUT when purchasing a new stick they should buy an IFWLA approved stick as described on Lacrosse Scotland / IFWLA website
With regard to BUCS matches, you will have to check their rules
Tours ; you will need to check with the country that you are intending to play matches against as rules will differ from country to country. This includes within the UK e.g. Clubs & Colleges and National Schools tournaments. I’d like to think that most countries are following a commonsense approach re non-representative play, but better safe than sorry.
IFWLA; sticks that meet the IFWLA stick specifications
Eye Protection in the USA
from January 1, 2005, use of eye protection will be mandated by all women’s lacrosse teams in the USA. The key points in the statement are:
International teams may wear any eye protection that is approved for use in any IFWLA member country. (2005 IFWLA Conference Minutes)
Though highly recommended, International teams participating at US Lacrosse sanctioned events will not be mandated to wear eye protection.
Before traveling to play in the USA, international teams are urged to check with each school, club or collegiate program on their itinerary for local eye protection requirements. Individual states in the USA can set policy for their affiliated schools regardless of the USLacrosse policy regarding eyeware use.
