US LACROSSE Parent Handbook
As a leader of the US Lacrosse Chapter in our area,we know how important it is for the parents to see the exhilaration and smiles of their children as they play lacrosse. It is even more important for the parents to know that when it says US Lacrosse, they understand that their child is playing in a program that provides a safe, fun, informative and well coached environment. Parents need to understand that as a non-profit organization, we invest membership fees in a range of programs designed to maintain the sport’s safety and fun.
Part of our job here is to understand what information parents are looking for to make their experience better as they support their children. Through membership research, we heard loud and clear that better understanding the rules of lacrosse and officials hand signals was a big need, so we have developed a handbook specifically for parents that provides guiding principles for the game, a game overview, a diagram of the field and required equipment, and finally an overview of the minor and major fouls along with their hand signals. While this Parent Handbook will be shipped to every parent/player in your area as their membership renews, along with a new bag tag membership card, take a look at it now by clicking on the following:

In addition, US Lacrosse has developed a video that gives parents more information about the programs that US Lacrosse delivers to make sure that your child is playing in an environment with the highest commitment to safety, fun and professionalism!
