2021 CHEST PAD RULE

  • Lacrosse goalie chest pads must be certified by NOCSAE to prevent commotio cordis
  • Certified chest pads have reinforced protection over the goalie’s heart
  • Referees will not be lifting jerseys to check certification, it is players & coaches responsibility to use legal gear.
