Alyssa Moheiser is proof that people of any age can help to grow the game of lacrosse.

Moheiser, a freshman on the women’s club team at Creighton, has been a volunteer with her hometown Omaha Lacrosse Club (OLC) in Nebraska since 2022, consistently serving as a clinician with new player clinics and with the OLC’s soft stick program.

She loves working with younger players in demonstrating and teaching new skills and patiently answering questions about the game from participants and parents. Her enthusiasm is evident to all to see.

SPARKS, Md. – For the last two decades, National Center for Safety Initiatives (NCSI) and USA Lacrosse have worked together to help protect the integrity of the sport and the people who play it. That trusted partnership will continue with a new multi-year service agreement with NCSI as the Official Background Screening Services Provider of USA Lacrosse, reinforcing a shared commitment to athlete safety and organizational excellence.

SPARKS, Md. – The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee has formally certified USA Lacrosse as the official National Governing Body (NGB) for the sport in the United States, marking a significant milestone as lacrosse prepares to return to the Olympic Games. The sport will be contested as a medal event for the first time in more than a century when men’s and women’s sixes competitions debut at the Olympic Games Los Angeles 2028.

One of the most enjoyable aspects of the weekly WCLA rankings is seeing new teams entering the poll and being recognized for their achievements. Sometimes, it’s the return of a program after a period of absence, as we have seen this year with No. 1 ranked UC Santa Barbara.

In other cases, it’s the emergence of a program that has never been in the spotlight. The best example of that in 2026 is Auburn, which was unranked in the preseason, entered the ranking in Week 2, and has hovered in the 14-16 range in the poll for much of the season.

Six years ago, Able Lacrosse launched with a simple goal. Brothers Rowan and Christian Dias wanted to share their passion for lacrosse with their younger sister, Elle, and with other children like her who had developmental differences. 

“Honestly, we were just hopeful that we would be able to have a once per week opportunity for Elle and her friends to get together and play lacrosse,” said Vanessa Dias, mother to the three siblings.
