How long is a Lacrosse game?
High school varsity, JV and youth games have two – 25 minute halves. The clock runs continuously each half except for the last two minutes, or if a timeout is called with one exception; the clock is stopped after every goal. Umpires are expected to arrive at the game site 30 minutes prior to the start of the game. Sub Varsity games sometime use “running time” for their matches. This is a decision made by the coaches only. Officials will take direction from the coaches concerning time. “Running Time” means that time will not be stopped after goals and will continue to run, except for the last two (2) minutes of play or if the official call for time.
