NYSPHSAA approves permitting boys (JV/V) and girls (V) to request experiment of shot clock

[illestcuse]

So NYS is finally allowing a shot clock this season?? Confused with the wording here...

They will allow each Section to experiment with a clock if it so desires.

Boys lacrosse state championships move much closer to CNY; girls lacrosse stays in Cortland

Hobart College will host the boys lacrosse championships from 2025-2027.

My guess regarding some of the wording is that both teams would have to agree to it. I don't know how much anyone can mandate it.

The problem I mostly hear from AD's is cost. You need two clocks. They have to be installed in some capacity, then you have the wiring or whatever mechanism that will allow them to be run at the scorers table and then you need someone to operate them. Sounds easy (and cheap) I don't know if it is. Would imagine 5-10 grand for the clocks and miscellaneous and then again you need someone - qualified - who can run them.

But I think it's a nice addition. Considering the HS games are shorter, how long would the shot clock rule actually be ?

How will adding shot clock change high school lacrosse? NY, Section III will test it out in 2025

The state approved the use of a 60-second shot clock during an executive committee meeting on Wednesday.

It’s been awhile since I’ve attended a local varsity football game but don’t they hang play clocks at both ends of the field?

Can’t lacrosse do the same (assuming varsity lax teams play in the football stadium).

You’re making a big assumption. It’d be a big cost for a lot of schools. Lacrosse is still seen as inferior to football in a looooootttt of places.

I dont think the cost would be nearly that hugh but who knows.. It would require probably one more non paid helper to run it. Maybe the newer equipment ties into the clock stuff bball uses now.


go simple.. a couple kids at each end with flip counters?

In any case wireless clocks go for about 1-1500k for bball. the distance for LAX might be an issue.

Might be 5K for better systems it looks like.
