I.                  Video Examples of Boys' Lacrosse Fouls (Note: Just click on anything below that is underlined to see a short video clip showing examples of the most common lacrosse fouls.  Clicking on the name of the foul will bring up a summary video for that foul.  For example, clicking on the word "Cross-checking" in Item # A.1 below will bring up a short, narrated video clip explaining the cross-checking foul.  The duration of the video clip is listed in parentheses.  Thus, the "cross-checking" video lasts three minutes and 54 seconds in total.  Each foul's individual video clips can also be viewed one at a time by clicking the individual letters, a, b, c, etc.)  If the name of the foul is not underlined, a summary video has not been made yet.  The purpose of these videos is to explain the fouls and why the action is a foul.  The purpose of these videos is NOT to explain how much penalty time should be assessed and at which playing level.
