USA Lacrosse, a Recognized Sports Organization by the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) and the U.S. representative to the sport’s international federation (World Lacrosse), is leading the effort to establish a Lacrosse Equipment Council (LEC). The LEC will provide a more formalized structure for stakeholders to discuss equipment needs and establish a framework for objective review of all equipment.

The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) made this statement in support of the LEC.

The 2025 USA Lacrosse Youth Nationals, a premier tournament for the nation’s top girls’ club lacrosse teams, will be held at Cedar Lane Regional Park in Bel Air, Md., from July 15-16, 2025.

USA Lacrosse will host a series of live rules interpretation webinars over the next few months to help coaches and officials prepare for the 2024-25 season.

The rules interpretation webinars are broken into four categories, covering boys’ and girls’ youth and high school rules. Each session for the specific topic will use the same base information, but will also include a USA Lacrosse staff member and a rules interpreter on the webinar live to help answer any questions.

A common saying in the quest for lacrosse growth is that a rising tide lifts all ships.

That’s a philosophy embraced by True Lacrosse, a national club program that boasts more than 500 teams in 23 states. As part of its overall philosophy, True Lacrosse embraces its players participating in their local community programs whenever possible.

USA Lacrosse today announced the high school girls’ coaches from each geographic area selected as winners of the 2024 Coaches Award. The award honors a girls’ lacrosse head coach in each area who exemplify the ideals of the game of lacrosse.

The award is intended to recognize the individual’s overall coaching performance and contribution, not just coaching wins - although they may be considered. Nominees must demonstrate outstanding sportsmanship on and off the field, and also demonstrate excellent rapport with their players, officials, and other coaches.

A little over a year ago, USA Lacrosse and the National Lacrosse Federation announced a partnership to bring age verification to boys’ club lacrosse. After launching with pilot events run by Prime Time Lacrosse and MADLAX last fall and winter, USA Lacrosse’s age verification program has made significant strides in the first spring and summer of implementation in concert with the NLF.

WHAT IS AGE VERIFICATION?
