Leaders
The Team Behind the Team
Every season runs on people who never touch the scoreboard. Coaches who teach the game the right way. Officials who keep it fair, every whistle, every level. Program leaders who make sure there's a field, a team, and a season for everyone else to show up to.
USA Lacrosse exists to back that work. As the national governing body of lacrosse, our job is to fuel the growth of the sport, enrich the experience for everyone in it, and field the best national teams in the world — and none of that happens without the people who lead. USA Lacrosse membership is how we return the favor: coverage, education, tools, and recognition built for what you do beyond game day.
There are three ways to lead in lacrosse. Find yours below.
Membership Type
Coach
Prepared to Lead, Every Season
You're here for the athletes. We're here for you. Coach Membership means insurance coverage on the sideline, a path to certification, and continuing education that keeps you current on the rules — for every format, every level.
Practice plans, drills, and e-learning live in one place, so preparation takes minutes, not hours. It's a professional foundation for the work you already do.
Membership Type
Official
Centered on the Integrity of the Game
You keep the game fair. We keep you covered. Official Membership provides insurance coverage while you're on the field, free rules resources, and reimbursement for your game fees if you're injured — a benefit built specifically for the work officiating demands.
Officiating is a craft. Certification, rules interpretation sessions, and development opportunities help you advance in it.
Membership Type
Program Leader
Membership Built for the People Who Do the Building
Running a program means rosters, registration, field permits, and compliance — on top of actually growing the game locally. Program Membership gives your organization rostering tools, a resource library, and a streamlined way to manage it all.
When every athlete and coach in your program is registered, your whole program is covered. That's the deal: you build it, we help protect it.
