US Lacrosse, the sport’s national governing body, recently changed the safety requirements for women’s and girls’ lacrosse eyewear.
Beginning January 1, 2020, all protective eyewear must be SEI certified to the current ASTM lacrosse standard F3077 to be regarded as legal for play. The rule change was made to minimize or significantly reduce injury to the eye and adnexa due to the impact and penetration of lacrosse balls.
Goggles and headgear that were bought before 2018 may not meet this new 2020 standard, and you should consider purchasing a new pair.
To see if your eyewear is already approved, you can check the list on the Safety Equipment Institute (SEI) website at www.seinet.org.
