[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree. Helmets won't change the behavior causing the concern. Enforcement of rules will.[/quote]

Well, you can work on that while my kids wearing a helmet. [/quote]

Lets welcome the mother of the 3rd grader with the false sense of security to the conversation. Let us know how the helmet works out when she gets a nice swinging check to the face and a broken nose. We don't want to hear any complaints from you when it happens or yelling at the refs for dirty play you didn't want to discourage. Remember, you are the one who chose helmets over rules enforcement. May be better to join the conversation when you have a few years under your belt.[/quote] Not PP, you’re missing the point. Kids can wear helmets AND m refs can call games tighter. And there’s no chance of breaking a nose swinging against facemask - try on a helmet some time.[/quote]

Right now, refs make fewer calls when the player being checked is wearing a helmet.  Girls wearing a helmet also tend to be more aggressive than those not wearing helmets.

-parent of a high school age player.[/quote] When I was in high school playing boys lacrosse w/ a helmet, they would call a penalty if the stick even touched the helmet during freshman/sophomore games. For varsity, they would allow glancing contact known as a brush w/o penalty. Sounds like parents/coaches should reach out to the Washington ref organization to clarify and/reinforce what's going to be called.[/quote]
