BOYS CLOCK/SCOREBOARD

1.Arrive 15 min prior to game start

2.Set up table/chairs/scoreboard at half field on team side 

  • Set up cones on field (diagram is in a folder in lock box)

  • Set out 6-8 balls along sideline of each end zone

  • Coordinate with the opposing team volunteer to decide who will run the clock and who will score.  Use the scorebook from the coach’s bag.  

3. If it is the last game of the day, put table, chairs, cones, scoreboard, etc in the lockbox and secure the lock

*Away game volunteers do not need to worry about set-up! 

CLOCK - all games are running time, 12 minute quarters (4).  The refs will tell you if you need to stop the time at any point during the game.

SCOREBOARD/BOOK - 

  1. Keep score on scoreboard

  2. Track penalties in scorebook (in coach’s bag) If there is a penalty, the ref will tell you what the penalty is and how long.  Please note the player, penalty and the length of time.  

    1. Ex. #24 - Slash - 1 minute

  3. You will time the penalties and tell the player when they can go back in.  

  4. Notify ref and coaches when there is 2 minutes left in each quarter

The refs are always pretty helpful if you have any questions!

PARENT INVOLVEMENT

Parents can play many roles in sports: current or former athlete, coach, fan, motivator, role model or critic. A few studies have shown that family members may influence an athlete’s involvement and achievement in sport more than coaches. Parents also are the first and most critical agents for socializing sports.


PARENTS AND ATHLETES

Parents and athletes need to manage their SportsEngine accounts to ensure they get the most out of their Mahtomedi Lacrosse Association experience during each sporting season.
