At US Lacrosse, we know how important it is for parents to see the exhilaration and
smiles of your children as they play lacrosse. It is even more important for you to
know that when it says US Lacrosse, your child is playing in a program that provides
a safe, fun, informative, and well-coached environment. As a nonprofit organization,
US Lacrosse invests membership fees in a range of programs designed to maintain the
sport's safety and fun.
Part of our job here at US Lacrosse is to understand what information parents are
looking for to make their experience better as you support your children.
Through membership research, we heard loud and clear that better understanding of
the rules of lacrosse and officials hand signals is a big need, so we have developed
a game overview, a diagram of the field and required equipment, and finally an overview of
minor and major fouls along with their hand signals. While this Parent Handbook will be
shipped to every parent or player when you renew your US Lacrosse membership, it is
available online now so you don't have to wait.
