Support local expansion in one of the nation’s fastest-growing sports
By Erin Smith
Fast-paced, exciting, and inclusive, lacrosse remains one of the nation's fastest-growing sports at the youth and high school levels. Over the last two decades, its rising popularity has pushed the game far beyond its traditional Northeast footprint into emerging areas from coast to coast. Fields and outdoor spaces from Florida to California and from Texas to Minnesota now feature lacrosse goals dotting the landscape.
Since its inception in 1998, US Lacrosse has been one of the primary catalysts in fueling the growth of the game, investing over $275 million into the sport’s national development. With programs, services, and initiatives that help put lacrosse sticks in the hands of players and provide guidance to program leaders, the national governing body has safely introduced the game to thousands of participants.
