Membership
Becoming a US Lacrosse member is one of the best things you can do to support the growth of lacrosse across the country. US Lacrosse offers memberships in several different categories (coach, player, official, etc.). While we put your membership dollars to use in spreading lacrosse in the United States, we also give back to you the several benefits of membership, including a subscription to Lacrosse Magazine, insurance, and more. For all the information you need on US Lacrosse membership, including registration, visit the Membership Page. Members also have access to discounts on a variety of services through the US Lacrosse Member Affinity Program.

US Lacrosse Insurance Program
One of the many benefits of membership in US Lacrosse is insurance. Bollinger Insurance administers the US Lacrosse Insurance Program and there are a number of benefits that relate directly to officials. For more details on the program, visit Bollinger.

US Lacrosse Gift Shop
Training materials and key items such as rule books are available through the US Lacrosse Gift Shop (US Lacrosse members are eligible for a 10 percent discount).

Positive Coaching Alliance
In 2001, US Lacrosse began a partnership with the Stanford University-based Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA). PCA was formed with the goal of changing the culture in youth sports to improve the experience of athletes at all ages, with the mission of “transforming youth sports so sports can transform youth.” US Lacrosse and the PCA sponsor the PCA Workshop Grant Program.
