• Ten seconds to clear half (not eight)
• Plastic goalie sticks only (no wooden sticks)
• Three 15-minute periods, running clock unless the score is within two with under two minutes to play in the final period
• For both round robin and playoff games, if tied, game decided in three-player shootout, additional single rounds to determine a winner if still tied after three shooters
• Over and back rule will be enforced
• NLL line up on face-offs
• Dunking and diving permitted, as per NLL rules
• Minor box nets will be used, not NLL-sized nets

Before entering the TRAC

The TRAC has transitioned to a passive-screening process. Please read the posters on the front doors of the facility and if you answer “yes” to any of the questions, we ask that you do not enter the building.

Masks to be worn at all times

Upon entering the facility, masks are still required at all times indoors. Players are permitted to remove their masks during games.

TRAC snack bar & Toronto Rock Lacrosse Shop

Both the snack bar and Toronto Rock Lacrosse Shop will be open during the Spring Invitational. Both destinations will be to your immediate left upon entering the front doors of the facility. Masks can be removed while eating and drinking only.

Game arrival and locker-room assignments

Teams will be assigned locker rooms which will be posted on the monitors outside the entrance of both the blue and red pads. Players will have access to their assigned locker room a minimum 15 minutes before their scheduled game.

If you have any additional questions or concerns about the event or regarding anything else at the TRAC, staff will be available throughout the facility and happy to help in any way possible.
