[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What the hells wrong with being aggressive anyway?

Nothing, so long as it is within the rules which, for lacrosse, impose significant limits on contact in the women's game that differ from the men's game and, which, in my view make it a better and more interesting one where speed and skill are more important than physical strength.  [/quote]

+1  Better enforcement by refs and coaches would rectify 9 out of 10 occurrences of dangerous play.  The other 1 out of 10 is basically a risk you have to be willing to take.

Refs need to hand out red cards like candy until the girls have trained themselves to not make dangerous checks near the head/neck/face, and coaches need to pull their girls from the games if they see a girl making dangerous checks that are not being called by the refs.  As soon as girls start getting red-carded or pulled, they will change their behavior.  Until then, it seems like anything goes.  Hopefully no girl will die or experience a traumatic brain injury in the meantime.

The responsibility here rests firmly on coaches and refs to enforce safe play, and on parents to encourage their girls to play safe.[/quote]
