In reply to: Question about face-offs for people who know lacrosse posted by mikeybates

Per my son's high school lacrosse coach, there is a movement to remove face-offs except for at the start of each quarter.

The proposal is that after Team A scores, Team B gets the ball behind it's own goal, similar to basketball. Both teams would still be allowed to substitute after the goal, and then play would resume.

My understanding is this is being considered at both the college and high school level.
