Are there refunds?
There are NO refunds.

How large are the teams?
Each team roster will have a goalie and a minimum of 11 fielders to total 12 players. To ensure fairness, once a team roster is finalized at the conclusion of registration, there will be no last minute “ringers” allowed to play with a team on any given day, unless approved by league director. No non-roster players may play in the indoor league. Each player will play on his assigned team for the full 6 week season. All fielders will rotate on and off the field in set rotation, ensuring equal playing time for all. 

How does indoor lacrosse differ from field lacrosse?
The field is smaller than an outdoor lacrosse field and the goals are 4’ x 4’6” rather than 6’ x 6’. There are five fielders and a goalie on the field at once – all short sticks. (Defensemen, this is your chance to score!) Fielders run for three to four minutes and then rotate off. Games consist of two 25 minute halves with a brief half time. Scoring is typically higher than field lacrosse. A shot must be taken within 30 seconds of initial possession. The ball must be cleared in 10 seconds. There is no offside rule as in field lacrosse. Checking is allowed, however, No Cross Checking is allowed. A player may not check another player within three feet of the walls with or with out a stick i.e. “No Boarding”. The ball moves around rapidly in a confined area so full equipment must be worn. Goalies may NOT come out and hit/body check players.
