Officials

US Lacrosse is evolving its program to help prevent potential abuse within the sports environment. The new name of the initiative is the Abuse Prevention Program and an online course is available free of charge to all US Lacrosse coach and official members as a benefit of membership.

US Lacrosse is proud to work with Nation United Foundation (NUF), Black Lacrosse Alliance and other stakeholders in the lacrosse community in supporting the WE STAND initiative, an effort aimed at promoting anti-harassment and anti-racism in sports.

The Officials Development Program at US Lacrosse has recently announced a series of eight new webinars for men’s and women’s officials over the next several weeks. The first session will be held on Sunday, Feb. 14.

Patty Daley, a successful coach and official, shares words of wisdom on National Girls & Women in Sports Day. We are also sharing Instagram Live sessions with current U.S. team players with their mentors and role models.

Who determines that a certain type of protective equipment should meet a performance standard? And how is that standard developed? These were some of the questions addressed by panelists on the equipment session at LaxCon 2021.

We’re just over a week away from the 2021 US Lacrosse Convention — an all-virtual event that takes place Jan. 15-16. The new format will be a different experience for this annual staple, but we’re excited to bring the lacrosse community together in a different way to get ready for the season.

Lacrosse enthusiasts from around the country — and the world — join in one of the largest celebrations our sport has to offer. For many, the US Lacrosse Convention serves as a launching pad for the lacrosse season. In 2021, US Lacrosse is bringing LaxCon to you in a virtual format.
