SPARKS, Md. – USA Lacrosse’s investment in age verification provides a valuable resource for the lacrosse community to facilitate fair and safer play. For USA Lacrosse members, this is a free, one-time process in which they upload a valid proof of age document and their record will be updated to indicate age verified status.

Leagues and tournaments around the country can then work with USA Lacrosse — also free of charge — to utilize the service to appropriately segment players by age groupings.

Four years ago, four freshmen at Mamaroneck (N.Y.) High School enrolled in an elective class called Original Civic Research and Action (OCRA). The goal of the class is to have students research their community, identify a challenge or issue that needs attention, and then develop a problem-solving framework to address the issue. The class is progressive over four years, keeping students engaged in the process over the full span of their high school careers.
