On Tuesday, November 25, 2014, US Lacrosse issued a memo to all lacrosse officials regarding the NOCSAE decision to void the certification of the Cascade Model R and Warrior Regulator helmets. The memo in its entirety can be read here.
Until the manufacturers and NOCSAE are able to remedy and re-certify these helmets, the Model R and Regulator are both illegal at all levels of play and by all rules that mandate helmets meet NOCSAE standards and be NOCSAE certified.
Until further notice we are asking all officials, prior to the game, to add the following statement to the pre-game certification for head coaches. Officials are encouraged to meet with both coaches together at midfield to conduct this certification.
