It does not matter how long you have coached, or that you are the newest addition to your organization’s board, or how much money you shelled out last year making sure every kid got a cool jersey. What truly matters is that you had a positive impact in the lives of others through lacrosse.

Our video team led by Michael Wallin and Mason Perricone captured some great moments over the course of 2018. Here's a look back at some of our favorites.

Over the last 12 months we’ve published nearly 300 blogs and press releases highlighting the scope of US Lacrosse impact and reach made possible by the support of our nearly 450,000 members and donors. From player safety to education to our national teams, it’s all made possible by you.

It is impossible to officiate a perfect game due to human error. Officials may be lampooned by the fans and rated average by the coaches, and yet still receive a good evaluation by their observer. This is because how the officials performed, is always distorted by the perspective of the viewer.

The other reason is that each game is completely different, and it is not possible to predict what will happen. As the saying goes; “that’s why we play the game.”

Members of the Central Ohio Chapter of US Lacrosse have been busy in supporting the growth of the game. Special events, local awards, player clinics, coaches and officials training, and diversity initiatives have all been among their recent contributions to the local lacrosse community.

In just over two weeks, some of lacrosse’s greatest minds will gather in Las Vegas, Nevada for the 2018 US Lacrosse West Regional Conference. The conference is a professional development opportunity for coaches, officials, program administrators and other leaders in our community to gather together to expand their knowledge of the sport of lacrosse.

The US Lacrosse Regional Conference is a professional development opportunity for coaches, officials, program administrators and other leaders in the lacrosse community. There will be three different program tracks offered for officials, coaches and leaders. Sessions topics will include team and athlete development, rules interpretation, game management and organizational leadership.
