Duties of Game Day Lacrosse Volunteers
Fear not! None of the lacrosse sideline jobs require a great deal of skill or even much of an understanding of the game. There will be three or four people doing tasks that even the COACH could figure out if asked.
Spotters (It would be great to have two spotters) The role of the spotter is to watch the game and spot important plays made by our players. We want to record stats for the following game situations: ground balls (most important!), shots on opposing goal, goals for and against, our team’s goalie saves and face off wins/losses. The spotter will tell the scorekeeper what happened and who made the play. Let me define these plays: • Ground ball – when one of our players scoops and controls at ground ball off the field surface. (Important because it is a real indicator of how MUCH we want the ball. • Shot on goal – we want to record shots on the opposing goalie and shots on our goalie. Try to include the general location from which the ball was shot. (A “shot” can mean a kicked ball in lacrosse. You can score by kicking the ball into the goal.) • Goals – After each goal the referee will let you know who shot and scored as well as who assisted on the goal. We want to record this information. We also want to record goals for the opposing team. We will then be able to calculate save percentage. • Face-‐offs – Winning face-‐offs in lacrosse is very important. We want to know whether we win or lose face-‐offs. • Shots on our goal – We want to record shots that our goalie stops.
Scorekeeper The recorder is responsible for taking down the information that the spotter or spotters are providing them. I wanted to keep the stats using an application on an iPad but found that it might be a bit too “buggy” right now. So I made my own score sheet and it is less complicated than the standard lacrosse “score books”.
Game Clock Operator This person will sit in the “press box” and run the large scoreboard. The only person that is familiar with the operation of this device is Brian Sharp so I sure hope that he is around to show us the ropes! If the main scoreboard is NOT available for some reason, I will have an iPad-‐based lacrosse timer to serve as the game clock.
Penalty Time Keeper The penalty timekeeper will record the following information: Player team, player number, length of penalty, and violation. The ref will tell the scoring table all this information. This information will be entered into the score sheet and the penalty time will be entered into the iPad application. The penalty timekeeper will use the iPad lacrosse timer keep track of the time remaining in a penalty.
