welcome
U
S Lacrosse completed its 15th year
of operation on December 31, 2013,
and it was a year of opportunity, impact,
progress and, at times, challenges for
our young nonprofit.
The programs referenced in this annual report are made
possible by the support of US Lacrosse members and
donors. Join the team and help support our efforts by
making a donation to the US Lacrosse Foundation today

Amidst a busy year of growth and expanding
infrastructure, the overarching goal of US Lacrosse
remains -- to provide the national leadership,
investment and administration required to responsibly
grow the sport in the best interests of current and
future players. Everything we do is grounded in the
experience of those who play, and we remain focused
on improving the quality and consistency of resources
in order to attract and retain players.
Coaches and officials are the most important human
resources required to provide players with a safe and
enjoyable experience, and our national standards for
education and certification of coaches and officials
continue to be embraced throughout the country…
although there is still much work to do to assure that
every youth and high school coach and official is
properly trained.
Perhaps the two most important areas of strategic
focus for US Lacrosse are player safety and sport
accessibility…and both have the potential to
negatively impact the growing popularity of lacrosse.
If we don’t effectively balance game integrity with
player safety, and lacrosse increasingly is viewed
as an overly injurious activity, parents will steer
their children away from our sport. And, if lacrosse

continues to be viewed as an exclusive sport that is
not welcoming to every child, our sport’s potential will
not be realized. US Lacrosse has expanded staff and
increased investment in these two strategic priorities
thanks to the support of our members and donors, and
the pages of this annual report will showcase some
noteworthy examples in that regard.
To improve our ability to connect with and serve
regional constituencies throughout the country we
recently completed and launched significant changes
to our regional chapter program. The structure
and operational focus of US Lacrosse chapters are
now much more refined and aligned with national
priorities. Additionally, we have defined eight
US Lacrosse regions throughout the country and
have begun hiring embedded regional staff to
support chapter operations and program/league
collaboration.
Effectively documenting activity and progress across
such a wide range of US Lacrosse operations in an
easily-digestible annual report is very difficult, but I
hope that these pages provide a dynamic snapshot
of the depth and breadth of our efforts on your behalf
and thanks to your support.
Like any team, we will celebrate accomplishment
and, occasionally stumble, but always strive to rise to
the challenges before us and achieve our potential.
The need for national leadership and advocacy
focused on the best interests of the sport and its
participants has never been more essential, and US
Lacrosse will strive to meet that ongoing responsibility
for years to come.

About US Lacrosse
About the US Lacrosse Foundation
US Lacrosse provides a leadership role in virtually
every aspect of the game. The development of US
Lacrosse policy and priorities is determined by the
leadership of volunteers from all over the country who
contribute their time and expertise to US Lacrosse as
members of the Board of Directors, one of the nine
Board Committees, or on various subcommittees,
including:
The US Lacrosse Board of Directors meets three
times each year, in January, June and September. The
Executive Committee meets with staff monthly to monitor
the progress of the organization.
The US Lacrosse Foundation (USLF) helps US Lacrosse close the gap
between membership revenue and the cost of inspiring participation in and fostering the responsible growth of America’s first sport.
MISSION
US Lacrosse is the national governing
body of lacrosse. Through responsive and
effective leadership, we provide programs
and services to inspire participation while
protecting the integrity of the sport.

As the sport’s national governing body, US Lacrosse is
uniquely positioned to play a leadership role for all levels
of the sport. It’s a responsibility that US Lacrosse proudly
bears and embraces for the betterment of the sport.
O
We need someone
setting the standards that
we can meet at the local
level. It’s too big to try
and do it state by state.
–– gordon corsetti
LEADERSHIP
ver the years, lacrosse has
enjoyed tremendous growth
thanks to the dedication
of countless volunteers across the
country. It simply wouldn’t have
happened without them.
But even the best volunteers need
guidance and leadership. Just ask
Gordon Corsetti, an Atlanta-based
official who volunteers with the US
Lacrosse men’s officials training group.
“We need someone setting the
standards that we can meet at the
local level,” said Corsetti. “It’s too
big to try and do it state to state.”
That’s ultimately the focus of
the US Lacrosse training group —
implementing standards that can be
applied nationally to the sport.
The group spent much of
2013 updating training manuals,
developing an online officiating
course and streamlining rules tests
for officials.
Through a partnership with
ArbiterSports, US Lacrosse has also
created a Central Hub allowing
officials better access to materials.
“We need a one-stop shop for
trainers and a one-stop shop for
[officials] learning the game,” said
Corsetti. “There’s a real need for a
lot of different kinds of resources.”
Locally, Corsetti has worked to
help expand video resources and
is now looking to expand that work
on a national level as part of a
technology subgroup.
Corsetti is an advocate for the
training program because of his
first-hand experience.
He took part in his first Lacrosse
Referee Development (LAREDO)
camp in 2008 and kept with the
program in ensuing years.
“I got observed by guys with 30
years of experience that had seen it
all, and probably more than once,”
said Corsetti. “I learned some very
hard truths about myself.”
He saw how important the early
years are to developing quality
officials.
“If we can get a guy to the third
year, after they’ve survived the
rough beginning, that’s what we
like to see,” said Corsetti. “There’s a
real sweet spot between the second
and fourth years where you can see
a drive to get better.”
Part of the responsibility to the
US Lacrosse training group is to
make sure that the resources they
produce help fuel that continuing
drive. Corsetti thinks that if
leagues got more involved with
local officials groups and utilized
US Lacrosse training resources,
everyone would benefit.
“Some leagues don’t see it as an
important thing,” said Corsetti. “It’s
the last thing they think about.”
2 0 1 3 U S L a c r o sse A n n u a l R e p o r t
Accomplishments
Completed the pilot phase of its

the organization regarding
diversity and inclusion, and hired
the organization’s first
full-time staff member
focused on the topic
of creating more
access to the sport.
Joined 14 other
sports organizations
as members of
the National Sports
Concussion Coalition, one of
several advocacy initiatives the
organization became associated
with in 2013.

l e a d e r s h i p π educ a t i o n π o p p o r t u n i t y π s a f e t y
Tens of thousands of coaches and officials benefit from
US Lacrosse educational resources each year, resulting
in a better experience for all participants.

US Lacrosse isn’t trying
to take contact out of the
game. We want people to
do it right, do it at the right
time and keep kids safe.
–– TJ BUCHANAN
education
early two years after a
brainstorming conversation
at the US Lacrosse National
Convention, the US Lacrosse “How
to Make Proper Contact” course is a
reality in men’s lacrosse.
“We launched it in October and
we’ve had nearly 1,000 coaches
complete the course,” said TJ
Buchanan, US Lacrosse coaching
education content manager and
an assistant coach at Gettysburg
College. “It’s been so well received
that we’ve made it a requirement of
the Level I certification process.”
Buchanan and former US
Lacrosse coaching education
content manager Chris Snyder, now
director of coaching education for
the U.S. Olympic Committee, were
discussing the topic one year during
the convention. They realized they
didn’t really teach their kids how
to make contact, they just expected
them to know what to do.
So, they set out to find the right
way to do it and began working on
the course. They talked to people
from all kinds of disciplines — from
martial arts to gymnastics — to
even learn the right way to fall. It
was an eye-opening experience for
Buchanan.
“It’s changed the way I coach
my players,” said Buchanan. “We
always said shooters don’t finish on
their feet.” The implication being
that a defenseman should contact
the shooter before he has a chance
to follow through.
“I realized that’s probably not
the right thing to teach kids,” said
Buchanan. “It’s changed my mind. We
work on positioning better, contacting
a shooter and disrupting him before
he can even get a shot off.”
One misconception that
Buchanan has heard is that US
Lacrosse is opposed to contact and
is trying to outlaw it.
“US Lacrosse isn’t trying to take
contact out of the game,” he said.
“US Lacrosse thinks contact is
appropriate. We want people to do
it right, do it at the right time and
keep kids safe.”
The course is free to all US
Lacrosse members and has tracks
specifically designed for coaches,
players and parents.
The course takes about an hour
to complete and goes over what’s
appropriate at each age level
based on the rules.
It shows video of what’s legal and
what’s not legal along with the proper
form that should be used. It also goes
over the various areas of the field and
when contact is most likely to happen
in those specific areas.

The US Lacrosse vision statement clearly articulates the
desire to open doors to the sport and through grants and
additional resources, that vision is becoming a reality.

It feels like things are
starting to ramp up.
I think we’re in good
shape to grow the club.
–– TRACY MAAHS
opportunity
here are lots of obstacles
to building a new lacrosse
program, but here’s one you
don’t expect to hear: the weather is
too good.
“A big challenge for us is that many
sports are year-round,” said Tracy
Maahs, president of the North Orange
County Girls’ Lacrosse club in Yorba
Linda, Calif.
The pleasant climate in Southern
California allows for sports to
flourish all year long and that
makes it harder to find multi-sport
athletes. And trying a new sport
can be expensive. The club applied
for, and was accepted into the US
Lacrosse First Stick Program, helping
to eliminate a financial barrier for
players new to the sport.
The First Stick Program is
designed to deliver key resources,
including equipment, US Lacrosse
membership and coaches training.
It is geared for new and developing
youth and high school lacrosse
teams. A total of 125 programs
received grants in 2013.
There was a need for the
program in the area.
“In our school district there
are four high schools with girls’
programs, but there was no youth
program,” said Maahs.
Brian Eisenberg coaches one
of those high school programs,
El Doroado High, in addition to
coaching at Chapman Univeristy.
Eisenberg helped get the North
Orange County girls’ club started
and now has some of his Chapman
players coaching in the program.
Potential athletes like Maahs’ own
daughter, Emily, had no place to
get ready for high school lacrosse
before the club started. Emily wasn’t
drawn to other sports, but had a
great time attending a street hockey
tournament through school. Tracy
thought lacrosse would provide
similar excitement.
North Orange County was
established to fill that void for Emily
and other girls in the area, and the
First Stick Program has made it easier
for those players to give lacrosse a try.
The North Orange County club
started a year ago, but with just eight
players didn’t have enough to fill a full
roster. With the help of the First Stick
Program, the club more than doubled
to nearly 20 players for the 2013-14
winter season, and combined with
another club to field full teams at both
the U13 and U15 levels in an Orange
County winter league.
All of it is adding up to a strong
foundation for hopeful young girls’
lacrosse players in the area.
“It feels like things are starting to
ramp up,” said Maahs. “I think we’re
in good shape to grow the club.”
2 0 1 3 U S L a c r o sse A n n u a l R e p o r t
Accomplishments

l e a d e r s h i p π e d u c at i o n π o p p o r t u n i t y π safety
US Lacrosse is making tremendous strides towards
keeping players safer as the organization continues the
expansion of human and financial resources devoted to
health and safety research.
I
We advocated that the
NFHS take a look at
defenseless hits. They saw
the evidence and made a
rule change. There was a
direct correlation.
–– BRUCE GRIFFIN
safety
f he had any reason to doubt
the impact of research, it was
quickly blown away during the
National Federation of State High
School Associations (NFHS) Rules
Committee meeting for boys’ lacrosse.
US Lacrosse presented data from a
video research project that it had
helped fund that showed blindside
hits were one of the leading causes of
concussions in boys’ lacrosse.
The result? The NFHS Rules
Committee added a definition
that specifically called out hits on
defenseless players as an illegal body
check and increased the penalty for
such hits to a two- or three-minute nonreleasable extra-man situation to help
deter these types of hits.
“We advocated that the NFHS
look at defenseless hits, they saw the
evidence and made the rule change,”
said Bruce Griffin, director of health
and safety for US Lacrosse. “There
was a direct correlation.”
Since the formation of US Lacrosse,
safety has been a constant focus of
the organization. US Lacrosse has a
Sports Science and Safety Committee
made up of some of the leading
experts across multiple disciplines
to guide the organization to make
decisions in the best interest of the
sport and the athletes who play.
Lacrosse-specific research is a
valuable tool in helping the committee
make recommendations.
In 2013, US Lacrosse piloted a
program geared towards reducing
ACL injuries in the sport. Athletes
involved in the program undergo
a thorough warmup session with
dynamic exercises to help strengthen
their bodies before beginning play.
The players completed a series of
strength tests before and after the
season to monitor their progress.
The early returns were promising
— no players in the study suffered
an ACL injury — but there is much
work to be done.
“The kids’ numbers were all
stronger and you would assume that
makes them less likely to have an
injury, but we don’t have a large
enough sample size yet to see,” said
Griffin. “If we can create a lacrossespecific ACL reduction program with
proven results, that would be great for
the sport. ACL injuries are the leading
lost-time injury in lacrosse.”
Increased funding is critical to
allowing the Sports Science and
Safety Committee to expand its scope.
“We’re starting phase one of a
study to see how coaches education
effects player safety,” said Griffin.
“The initial proposal was for
$50,000, but we were only able
to fund $28,000 so we have to
start small and just do a piece of
what we want to do.”
2 0 1 3 U S L a c r o sse A n n u a l R e p o r t
Accomplishments
Invested more than $100,000 in
lacrosse-specific injury research.
That figure will grow to more
than $175,000 in 2014 as
US Lacrosse continues to look
at key issues such as reducing
concussions.
Hired Bruce Griffin as
the organization’s first
full-time director of
health and safety.
He is responsible
for coordinating
US Lacrosse safety
initiatives.
Adopted Standard for
Athlete Safety and Protection, a
policy that states that US Lacrosse
will not tolerate physical or sexual
abuse of a child. The policy gives
clear cut steps of what to do in a
suspected case and provides best
practices for leagues to follow to
avoid issues.
Conducted Sports Medicine
Symposium at US Lacrosse
National Convention to share
pertinent information with
coaches and medical
personnel.

The increased level of
communication... has
raised the relevancy and
awareness of the chapters
within the communities.
–– Steve Kirr
CHAPTERS
S Lacrosse boasts a robust
network of regional
chapters that nurture
lacrosse in their respective areas
by providing critical programs and
services. As 2013 wound to a
close, US Lacrosse expanded that
network to 67 chapters with the
addition of Louisiana, Nevada and
North Florida as new provisional
chapters. The US Lacrosse chapter
network now covers 45 states.
The US Lacrosse chapter network
underwent a significant transition in
2013 that included an expansion
of resources from the national office
to better serve chapter volunteers
and their local constituents. In
addition to a restructuring of the
national staff devoted to regional
development, the organization
added its first fulltime field officer,
Rob Lord, regional
manager for the
Northeast, and
additional staff
positions around the
country are in the
works in the near
future.
“There’s a
tremendous level
of communication that exists now
between the regional development
staff and the chapter leaders,”
said Steve Kirr, director, regional
development for US Lacrosse. “The
increased level of communication
between US Lacrosse, the chapters
and the community has raised the
relevancy and awareness of the
chapters within the communities.”
US Lacrosse also revamped
the process for its Chapter Grant
program and a record number of
chapters applied for grants in 2013
as a result of those changes. A
total of 27 chapters received grants
that targeted specific needs in
their respective areas. US Lacrosse
expects to double the number of
chapter grants awarded for 2014.

WEBB LEGACY SOCIETY
In 2004, National Hall of Fame member Norm Webb left $4.5 million
to US Lacrosse — the largest gift ever received by the organization. Since
his passing, other visionary individuals have followed his example
of leadership. The A. Norman Webb Jr. Legacy Society honors
and recognizes the generosity and thoughtful financial
commitment of those who, like Norm Webb,
have chosen to leave a lacrosse legacy
through a planned gift to US Lacrosse or the US Lacrosse Foundation.
For information on enrollment, please contact Susannah Chase, vice president of the
US Lacrosse Foundation, at 410-235-6882 ext. #124 or [email protected].
