THE SCOOP] we are US Lacrosse
Events Registration open for US Lacrosse Regional Championships US Lacrosse has opened registration for the 2014 US Lacrosse Regional Championships, powered
by Lacrosse Unlimited, in North Carolina June 6-8, Wisconsin June 13-15, Massachusetts June 20-22 and California June 27-29. The tournaments are open to boys’ and girls’ U13 and U15 teams. Registration fees are just $1,350 per team before Nov. 30, and coaches or team managers who register more than one team from the same organization can save an additional $50 per team. At the U15 level, the top four teams at each regional championship will earn automatic invitations with free or reduced registration to the US Lacrosse U15 National Championships, powered by Lacrosse Unlimited, July 21-23 in Aurora, Colo. “This US Lacrosse event is a great event,” said Tom Demaio, coach of the Brady’s Bunch (Calif.) boys’ U15 team, after his team won gold the 2013 US Lacrosse West Championships. “It’s a lot of great people and it’s well run. We were real happy to come here and win this one.” Brady’s Bunch parlayed its West title into an automatic trip to the U15 National Championship, at which it won the “Keeper of Lacrosse” Sportsmanship Award, which, in turn, guarantees Brady’s Bunch an automatic invitation to this year’s U15 National Championship. For more information or to register for a regional championship, visit
uslacrosse.org. Also online are applications for at-large bids to the U15 National Championships. US Lacrosse will award a limited number of those bids.
Watch the World Championships, play in the World Festivals US Lacrosse welcomes boys’ and men’s lacrosse teams from the U11 age group all the way up through 60-and-over to compete in the 2014 World Lacrosse Festivals at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park July 10-19 in Denver. Participating festival teams also will have access to the FIL World Championship, hosted by US Lacrosse, for their length of the festival. For more information or to register a team, visit

National Teams Power the Players to Denver in 2014 Housing, feeding and transporting 52 U.S. men’s team hopefuls through clinics, exhibitions and
training sessions is a large and expensive endeavor. But it’s a worthwhile investment: each stop along the road to the 2014 FIL World Championship, set for July 10-19 in Denver, provides an opportunity for the team to gel and a setting for young players to interact with and learn from the nation’s best. Make a donation to power the players in their quest for gold at

Sport Development PE and soft lacrosse grants awarded
US Lacrosse recently awarded soft lacrosse equipment to 136 schools and civic organizations across 38 states to help introduce the sport to youth players via school physical education classes and community recreation programs. Additionally, US Lacrosse awarded eight workshop grants to school districts and community-based organizations in which US Lacrosse trainers provide in- service training for teachers and recreation leaders. “We’re pleased to be able to provide equipment and resources to schools and local organizations nationwide to help expose the game to new participants,” said Meghan Mulford, programs manager at US Lacrosse.
