Breaking: Women's Lacrosse Players have to Wear Helmets in Florida

Source – In its final meeting of the 2013-2014 school year, the Florida High School Athletic Association’s Board of Directors voted to require helmets for girls lacrosse participants, effective for the 2015 season, and also in favor of a potential postseason national bowl game for football through Paragon Marketing.

US Lacrosse, which governs high school girls lacrosse nationally, does not require female high school lacrosse players to wear protective headgear although women are permitted to wear soft helmets. However, the Board continued its emphasis on the safety of student-athletes, mandating that beginning with the 2015 season, all female lacrosse players must wear helmets as a precautionary measure against head injuries.
