Welcome lacrosse coaches! This page is designed to be your gateway to the US Lacrosse Web site. Below are direct links to pages within the US Lacrosse Web site with information pertinent to coaching lacrosse on the youth, high school and college levels.

Camp Directory
Camp Directors make sure to get your camp listed in the most complete summer camp directory around. The National Summer Lacrosse Camp Directory, which appears annually in the March issue of Lacrosse magazine, will mail to more than 200,000 households - that's more than 450,000 readers for that issue alone! Online registration of camps is normally open from November to January each year as we compile the listing for the March issue. The 2007 listing has now closed.
