This Council, formerly known as the Intercollegiate Associates, represents the interests of the non-varsity collegiate programs that now play under the umbrella of the Men's Collegiate Lacrosse Association. Comprised of 185 college teams in nine conferences from coast to coast, the MCLA provides a "virtual varsity" structure for college non-varsity lacrosse - with conference championships, post-season awards, national polls, and NCAA regulations governing eligibility and rules of play. The season culminates with a national championship tournament, held annually during the second week in May. John Paul, head coach at the University of Michigan, heads up the MCLA's Executive Board and also serves on the Board of Directors of US Lacrosse.
