Printable Lacrosse score sheet (free PDF)

Start with the header — teams, date, venue, referee, scorekeeper, competition, match number, category — then meet a grid cut for field lacrosse: four rows, one per 15-minute quarter, a column for Team A and one for Team B, and a Final score row for the addition. Under the grid, the Point values line reads simply +1: every goal is worth exactly one point in all World Lacrosse formats — men's field, box, the women's game and Sixes, Olympic lacrosse included — so each cell is a plain count of the goals scored in that quarter. The 2-point arc you may have seen on television belongs to certain professional leagues, not to the rules this sheet follows.

Write goals into the quarter being played, close each row at the horn, and let the Final score row total the four. Under the grid, the Sanctions & stoppages line prints the three things this sheet asks you to follow: Penalties, Timeouts and Temporary suspensions of one minute — the man-down spell a team serves after a personal foul. It is a printed reminder, not a form: no boxes, no team columns, so those tallies go in the margin. Timeouts deserve their own mark, two per team per half. At the end, both captains sign beside the referee and the scorekeeper.

If your club plays Sixes rather than field, the grid still serves: Sixes runs in short periods — four, for example — with a shot clock hurrying every attack, so use one row per period and forget the 15-minute habit. Note the format on the competition line so the sheet reads unambiguously next season; a filled grid with no format written on it is the kind of archive that starts arguments. And print it as what it is — a generic model, ideal for training, club play and friendly tournaments. Federation competitions come with their own official sheets.

A lacrosse table watches three things at once. Goals first: one point each, into the quarter under way, however outrageous the finish. Penalties second — personal and technical fouls send a player to the penalty bench, and while the temporary suspension runs, the minute this sheet prints, their team defends man-down; your tally is often the only written trace of those stretches. Timeouts third, and this one is genuinely your job: two per team per half, and the table is expected to speak up when a team asks for one it no longer has. Between quarters the clock resets to 15:00 — breathe.
