Is the forward pass allowed in lacrosse?
Yes. Players are allowed to pass in all directions in the game of lacrosse. THE GAME # Games are played with 4 x 10 - 15 minutes quarters, with 2 minute breaks between quarters and a 5 minute half time. # Substitutions can occur at any time during the game and must take place off the field and through a designated substitution area (see diagram).
Players coming onto the field must observe the attack/defensive placement of players and rotation of roles is strongly recommended at the quarter changes. # No body or stick contact is allowed. # Both hands are on the stick when playing the ball. # The ball can only be carried for 4 seconds and thrown before the count reaches 4 ( Count: 1001….1003,1004) # Only two opposing players may contest a ground ball. If another player joins in then the team with only 1 contesting player takes possession. # The ball cannot be trapped by the scoop. # The stick cannot be used to back scoop the ball - attempts to pick up the ball must be propelled forward. # Teams win a toss to start a game and each quarter teams alternate first possession. The game starts in the defensive half of the field (with the goalkeeper). From the start there must be at least two passes before a goal is scored. # Defenders retreat 3m for start of quarters and loss of possession. All other defending situations require 1m clearance with defenders' sticks as vertical as possible and players facing each other. # Only the goalkeeper may use a hand to protect the goal but may not catch the ball. # The line is deemed out. Balls crossing the line - after a shot on goal go to the closest defending player, in general play go to team not in possession. there!! now dont ask any more questions!!
Lacrosse goalie scores goal in his own crease?
In a game, the goalie can accidentally score on his or her own goal. If they try to stop a shot and it bounces off of them and goes fully past the goal line, then it does count as a goal for the opposing team. The goalie is also allowed to leave the crease and in some rare cases can actually go up and score in the other team's goalie.
Are there any lacrosse games for the Wii?
"Deca Sports #3"
The game has 10 different sports, one of them being lacrosse (be sure you look for #3 as each release has different sports in it)
The series "College lacrosse 20XX" was originally announced for Wii, but appears to have only been released for Xbox with a port for PS3 announced.
Note: Activisions "Big League Sports" claims to have lacrosse, but it wont actually let you play a real game. None of the sports it claims to have actually allow you to play the sport "team vs team". It only simulates a piece of each sport (the basketball for example is just you throwing free throws, not playing the game and the soccer is just you blocking random shots as goalie with no team aspect)
I don't know of any other lacrosse games for wii besides the Deca sports 3 and the non-team bizarro version in Big League Sports.

How Much Does a Dolomite Lacrosse Stick Weigh?
The Crosse: The crosse (lacrosse stick) is made of wood, laminated wood or synthetic material, with a shaped net pocket at the end. The crosse must be an overall length of 40 - 42 inches for attackmen and midfielders, or 52 - 72 inches for defensemen. The head of the crosse must be 6.5 - 10 inches wide, except a goalie's crosse which may be 10 - 12 inches wide. The pocket of a crosse shall be deemed illegal if the top surface of a lacrosse ball, when placed in the head of the crosse, is below the bottom edge of the side wall. All of that makes me think that there is no considered "legal" weight for the crosse. Since there are different lengths then it would stand to reason that there are no rules regarding weight. Also, there are different materials of which it's made, and everyone wants the lightest weight strongest material they can get.
The "face-off" occurs after every dead play.
Examples:
- the start of game
- after there is a penalty
- after there is a goal
- after the goalie holds the puck
- if the puck is shot out of bounds
