In partnership with NCSA, the official responsible recruiting services provider of US Lacrosse, we are proud to highlight our Impact Athletes — boys’ and girls’ high school lacrosse players who are supporting their communities with special efforts.
We all recognize that these are unusual and unprecedented times, but great challenges also offer great opportunities, and US Lacrosse continues to receive and share some of these stories. During these trying times, these Impact Athletes — spreadout across the country — have helped uplift their communities and spread messages and examples of positivity to all who need them.
US Lacrosse has created an easy-to-use online submission form so you can share your stories and photos with us. US Lacrosse reviews all submissions and selects exemplary high school athletes to recognize.
We are bringing back the Impact Athletes program next year and hope that you or your loved ones will share your stories with us. The lacrosse community is better for having these Impact Athletes in it.
Below, we will celebrate the 30 athletes and one team honored in 2020 by NCSA and US Lacrosse. Thank you for all you do!
