YLM Association members must contract with EMS providers or otherwise secure appropriate medical personnel to attend at all home games. Below, find a list of EMS companies, which YLM provides as a resource to help members comply with this requirement. 

Both USA Lacrosse (USAL) and the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) have announced that no new rules would be adopted for 2021. Accordingly, the rules documents below carry over the Minnesota youth lacrosse rules adopted for the 2020 season. 

Note, however, that for 2021, all goalies must be equipped with a chest protector that meets the NOCSAE ND-200 standard. This standard, which became effective on January 1, 2021, resulted from a rule changed adopted in 2018.  Coaches should expect during the pre-game coaches' certification that officials will ask whether goalies' chest protectors meets the ND200 standard; if either goalie's chest protectors does not meet the standard, the game cannot be played. For more on the standard, visit USAL's FAQ page on the topic.

NOTE THAT THE BEGINNING JANUARY 1, 2022, THE NOCSAE ND200 STANDARD WILL APPLY TO ALL FIELD PLAYERS' SHOULDER PADS. ALL PLAYERS WILL NEED ND200 COMPLIANT SHOULDER PADS FOR PLAY DURING THE 2022 SEASON.
