The player who stands in the crease of the goal and blocks the lacrosse ball from being scored into the goal.
If your a goalie when the ball is near the crease the goalie should clamp on it and bring it in the crease so its not putting it in the stick the stick is upside down
The goalie crease is the circle around the goal that I believe has a diameter of 9 feet for men and 8.5 feet for women. In men's lacrosse a goalie and the defenders of that same team can go in the crease and in women's only the goalie is allowed inside the crease. In women's if a defender steps into the crease then the game is stopped and a girl from the other team is given an 8 meter arch penalty shot, if someone on the offense of the other team steps into the goal the ball is given to the goalie and everyone must be a certain distance away to allow the goalie to clear the ball. Also with women's if an offensive player that is shooting the ball steps into the crease then the goal is not counted and the ball is given to the goalie.
you touch the ball with your hand or hit the ball with your hand when your not a goalie. The goalie can only pick up the ball or make contact with the ball inside of the 18 metre crease. (The bigger crease).
Yes but if you do before its a crease violation **** Say you dive into the crease, as long as the ball is in the net before you touch the ground, then you get the goal. Its super risky though, because this can vary from ref to ref and if you miss/ hit the goalie with the ball then you get a penalty
It all depends on how you touch them, if the goalie has possession, and if the goalie is dribbling the soccer ball.
i believe so but I've never seen a goalie do that before
to score and stop the goalie from clearing the ball
its when possession of the ball is switched from one team to another
Yes, if you push him out of bounds while he has the ball, it is your ball. Or a change of possession if that is easier to understand
no you can not go in the crease on the goalie side what kind of dumb question is that Yes, any player of either team CAN step into the crease. You can score and pass from inside the crease as well. However, you cannot walk into the crease while you have the ball (meaning you can pass the ball to someone who's inside the crease, and you can walk into the crease while you do not have the ball). The guy who called this a 'dumb question' must be pretty dumb himself.
No player is aloud to pick the ball up with there hands in lacrosse. Even the goalie, unless the ball is stuck on the back of the goal and can't be retrieved with a stick, then the goalie would get permission from the referee to pick it up and put it in his stick.
