The Goalkeeper Exemption form has been changed using height-based criteria. Equipment manufacturers make equipment based on height and weight specifications. Adjustable straps on equipment ensure that the athlete has a safe and proper fit to their equipment.
Using these criteria, the expectation is that there will be fewer exemptions required as the athlete’s equipment is based on their height rather than their age category.
The Equipment Chart (12.10) below from the Lacrosse Canada Operations Manual outlines the height specifications for each piece of equipment and category. If the standard equipment is too big for a goalkeeper, they may go down a size without requiring approval from the Lacrosse Canada Equipment Review Committee.

It is Lacrosse Canada's intent to keep the goalkeepers in the category where they belong, however due to growth spurts and children who fall outside the standard growth chart, exemptions may be made by submitting a Request for Goalkeeper Equipment Exemption Form (available below). An exemption may only be granted on the basis that it is necessary for player safety.
