Pandemic? What pandemic?
Despite the economic challenges posed by the midseason stoppage of lacrosse due to the COVID-19 outbreak, US Lacrosse was as busy as ever this spring and summer providing leadership and resources to our members. Now more than ever, the lacrosse community needs guidance as we return to play and navigate the new normal together.
Thanks to the support of members and donors like you, here’s how we’ve met that demand.
