US Lacrosse women's rules allow for the optional
use of headgear if it meets ASTM standard F3137. The purpose of this
allowance is to acknowledge that while women's lacrosse is a relatively
safe sport, the use of protective headgear is desired by some
individuals.
Please note that beginning January 1, 2017, only products that meet the ASTM standard will be regarded as legal for play.
US Lacrosse has an established process for headgear
manufacturers to have their products listed on the US Lacrosse web site
by submitting a letter and verification from an accredited, independent
testing facility acknowledging compliance to the ASTM standards.
Manufacturers whose products are in compliance and who have submitted
testing results to US Lacrosse have their products listed below.
