That’s the premise behind the Team Up Speak Up (TUSU) campaign, in which players will notify a coach or athletic trainer if they suspect a teammate might have a concussion.

SPARKS, Md. — The 2022 USA Lacrosse Women’s National Tournament, the nation’s oldest and longest-running women’s lacrosse event, is set for May 28-29 at Cedar Lane Regional Park in Bel Air, Md.  The event was first held in 1933 and has evolved into one of the premier recruiting events for high school girls’ lacrosse players looking to play at the collegiate level.

Players compete for regional all-star teams that are unaffiliated with their high school or club teams in one of the most geographically-diverse and accessible recruiting events in the sport.

Today, as we honor National Girls and Women in Sports Day, USA lacrosse wants to emphasize that providing opportunities for girls and women to play the sports they love is not a moment or a day, but a commitment. USA Lacrosse is committed to supporting all levels of play for girls and women by encouraging stakeholders nationwide to support the growth and enrich the game for female athletes. From the first time they step on the field to their biggest triumphs, these are some of the ways that USA Lacrosse brings the sport to life for female athletes 

Two years ago, on the last day in February, the Florida State women’s club team had a lot to celebrate. The Seminoles had enjoyed a warm, sunny afternoon in Tallahassee by defeating Ole Miss and South Florida in a pair of lopsided games, completing the program’s most successful month ever with a 9-0 record.
