Lacrosse Magazine, an exclusive benefit for US Lacrosse members, features robust coverage of college lacrosse.

No sport has grown faster at the NCAA level over the past decade than lacrosse and club lacrosse is growing just as fast. A record 151 teams are playing NCAA Division I lacrosse (61 men's, 92 women's) in 2013. New varsity programs are popping up in states like Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and others. The result of the expansion means that nearly 30,000 players are playing collegiate lacrosse each year.
