Most penalties last for two minutes unless a major penalty has been assessed. Official rules state that the coaches area in field lacrosse shall be 15-20 yards in length. These players instead focus their offensive attention near the crease area in front of the goaltender. The league played to small crowds on outdoor fields such as Yankee Stadium and Fenway Park, before closing midway through its inaugural season. Currently the Canadian Lacrosse Association oversees the Mann Cup, the Minto Cup, the Presidents Cup (Senior B national championship) the Founders Cup (Junior B national championship) all under box lacrosse rules. The goal of this player is to create fast breaks and scoring opportunities. [12][13], The first box lacrosse match conducted in Australia came about as part of a fund raising appeal for the Queen Victoria Hospital in Melbourne. [33] Some leagues, and teams that have dedicated box lacrosse arenas (such as the Iroquois), have outfitted their playing surface with artificial turf similar to the NLL. [55][56] Thirteen teams competed in the championship: Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, England, Finland, Germany, Iroquois Nationals, Ireland, Israel, Serbia, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United States.[57]. A lacrosse field measures 60 yards wide and 110 yards long. A typical indoor lacrosse field is 200 feet long by 85 feet wide, the same size as a hockey rink or arena soccer field. In Canadian Lacrosse Association play, players are assessed a five-minute major penalty plus a game misconduct. [33] These nets are significantly smaller than field lacrosse nets which measure 6 feet (1.8 m) wide by 6 feet (1.8 m) tall. Thus, by its second year, the original NLL was playing in all major league arenas: the Colisée de Québec, the Montreal Forum, the Boston Garden, Nassau Coliseum, the Spectrum, and the Capital Centre. The goal frame is a six feet tall by six feet wide square, and the frame is centered on the goal line. [32] Although five of the league's nine teams are based in American cities, more than two-thirds of the players are Canadian. Eventually, it became the more popular version of the sport in Canada, supplanting field lacrosse. Canada West (Coquitlam Adanacs)[29] defeated the Iroquois in the nationally televised world championship game from Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver. Generally the playing area is 180 feet (55 m) to 200 feet (61 m) in length and 80 feet (24 m) to 90 feet (27 m) in width. Dasher boards are between 3'6" and 4' tall with safety glass on top. [38], In some box leagues, especially the NLL, the five "runners" wear helmets specifically designed for box lacrosse. The first world championship of box lacrosse, "The Nations in 1980", was staged in several arenas in British Columbia, Canada in July 1980 involving teams representing the United States, Australia, Canada East, Canada West and the Iroquois Nationals. [6], Box lacrosse goal dimensions are traditionally 4 feet (1.2 m) wide by 4 feet (1.2 m) tall. Men's and women's field lacrosse at the college and professional level all have approximately the same size field in terms of the length and width of the outer boundaries.
