direction.
- Charging: Occurs when a player charges, barges, shoulders or backs into an opponent, or pushes
with the hand or body.
- Dangerous Shot: Occurs when a player propels the ball toward the goal without control,
or in the direction of a field player or the goalkeeper.

of an offensive or defensive player's body or crosse, except that of the goalkeeper or deputy, enters the goal circle.
- Warding Off: Occurs when a player guards a ground ball with her crosse or foot, removes one hand from the
crosse and uses her free arm to ward off an opponent, or checks an opponent's empty crosse while she is trying to get
possession of the ball.
- Empty Cross Check: A player may not check an opponent's cross unless the ball
is in the opponent's cross.
