Lacrosse
Facility Specification Pack

Lacrosse spans men's field, women's field, box and Sixes formats, so the facility must start from the intended discipline. Sixes provides a compact international field pathway while full-field and box variants require different geometry and containment.

PROJECT PATHProject Brief
01

PROJECT INTENT

Define the facility level before selecting systems.

01Schools · councils · participation

Community / education

School/community field with safe goals, durable surface and practical containment.

02Clubs · academies · universities

Club / academy

Club/academy venue with repeat use, benches, storage and stronger lighting.

03Regional · national competition

Competition

Competition facility matched to the exact lacrosse discipline and current rule set.

04International · professional · broadcast

Elite / major venue

Major event venue with spectators, FÍSVOR, broadcast lighting, media and controlled operations.

02

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

Twelve coordination clauses for the complete facility.

01

geometry

Choose men's field, women's field, box or Sixes before setting out the venue. World Lacrosse Sixes uses a 70 × 36 m field for recognised events.

02

surface

Natural or synthetic field pathways should be selected around traction, ball response, drainage, use intensity and the discipline.

03

equipment

Goals, nets, crease/marking systems, benches and protective netting should match the exact lacrosse format.

04

lighting

Fast ball movement requires good uniformity, vertical visibility and glare control for players, officials and cameras.

05

spectators

Containment, player benches, penalty/scorer zones and spectator areas should remain safely separated.

06

structure

Goals, high netting, lighting, scoreboards and spectator structures require project-specific foundations/supports.

07

environment

Wind, rain, heat, frost and drainage affect field performance and containment operation.

08

accessibility

Accessible viewing and precinct circulation should be integrated without encroaching on player/safety zones.

09

storage

Goals, nets, cones, bench equipment and maintenance gear require secure storage and practical field access.

10

technology

Score/time, penalty clocks where applicable, FÍSVOR, PA and cameras should align with officials and spectator sightlines.

11

evidence

Use the current World Lacrosse rule book for the selected discipline; exact equipment evidence and local engineering remain project-specific.

12

lifecycle

Inspect surface, markings, goals/nets, containment, benches, lighting, scoring and storage systems on a defined schedule.

05

EVIDENCE & RELEASE

Keep each evidence type attached to what it actually proves.

01

Governing rule

Defines sport or competition requirements. It does not approve a supplier or local construction detail.

02

Exact product evidence

Testing, approval, certification or manufacturer evidence must match the selected product/configuration.

03

Installed outcome

Where applicable, field/court/facility certification relates to the completed installation rather than the product alone.

04

Project engineering

Foundations, structural supports, wind/seismic, electrical and building interfaces remain project-specific.

05

Commercial release

Quantity, documentation, warranty, freight, installation boundaries, spares and handover are closed before order.

06

MAINTENANCE & HANDOVER

Specify how performance will be maintained.

TECHNICAL RISK CHECK

Common symptoms that should trigger investigation.

01

Balls escape the field

Review netting height, side/end coverage, openings and damaged mesh.

02

Goal movement

Inspect restraint/anchors and frame condition.

03

Poor ball visibility

Review lighting, backgrounds and glare.

04

Surface inconsistent

Check drainage, turf/grass condition and maintenance.

05

Bench area congested

Review team/scorer/penalty geometry for the selected format.

06

Wrong field layout

Confirm the exact men's, women's, box or Sixes rule set before remarking.

08

PRIMARY GOVERNING REFERENCES

Verify final requirements at the official source.

World Lacrosse Playing Rules

Official rule books for men's field, women's field, box, Sixes and additional lacrosse disciplines.

World Lacrosse Sixes Rules 2026–2028

Current Sixes field and competition rules including the 70 × 36 m World Lacrosse event field.

SUPPLY BOUNDARY

Apollo is supply-only.

Local design, foundations, civil works, installation, electrical work, statutory approvals, accessibility compliance and professional sign-off remain with the appropriate project parties unless a specific support item is expressly included. Current governing-body rules, exact selected-system data and local requirements take precedence over this planning pack.
