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.

The officials’ curriculum at the 2021 US Lacrosse Convention is geared to assist local lacrosse organizations train their officials for the upcoming season. The virtual sessions can be used to supplement local training efforts and replace in-person sessions that aren’t able to be held due to COVID-19 restrictions.

With an all-virtual format for 2021, January’s LaxCon event will have a different look and feel from previous editions, but some things will not be changing, including, for the fourth straight year, a dedicated education track focused on box lacrosse.

The NFHS classification of boys' lacrosse as "high-risk" for COVID-19 transmission is not supported by data and the US Lacrosse Sports Science & Safety Committee has recommended boys' and girls' lacrosse both be included in the "moderate-risk" category. US Lacrosse is continuing efforts to have the organization, and others that have mirrored the decision, to reconsider.
