The tag line says it all: “Just for the fun of it.”
The heart and soul of our sport are the kids who play it for that purest purpose. We’ve revamped the back of USA Lacrosse Magazine to provide contents and activities tailored to youth, middle and high school players — with everything from rookie reporters to comic book heroes.
Here’s what you’ll find in this section.
In each edition, we’ll pair up a USA Lacrosse youth, middle or high school player to interview a professional or U.S. national team player who got his or her start in the same community.
Want a byline in our magazine? We’re accepting rookie reporter nominations at freeplay@usalacrosse.com. The ideal candidate is self-confident and outgoing, will prepare and ask thought-provoking questions and has an interest in sports media or journalism.
