A restraining line for women's lacrosse is placed at both 25-yard (23 m) lines. There are eleven players on the field, not including a goal keeper. Only seven offensive players and seven defensive players are allowed inside the restraining line. International rules however allow an 8v8. If a team has excess players inside the restraining line, that team loses possession of the ball.
