• Is there an arena, outdoor box, or field available?
• What time of year is your facility available?
• Is there a Volunteer base already established, or can you establish one?

• Interlacrosse
  Plastic sticks, soft ball, non-contact, co-educational, can be played in any size indoor or outdoor facility; excellent school program or simply a recreational game for any age group.
• Box Lacrosse
  Contact sport, played in an arena or an outdoor box, played by players from (4) years old up to Masters (over 35) – Minors include Midget players (15-16) and down; Seniors are Intermediate Players (17-18) and up.
• Field Lacrosse
  Contact sport played on fields (Football size), played by players from 11 years old up to Masters (over 35), normally played 10-a-side, but there is also 7-a-side version available. The Women’s version of the sport has no equipment, and the game is non-contact; Field Lacrosse also provides the opportunity for US scholarships in both the Men’s and Women’s Field games.

Step 4:

Select a time and place to hold either a PROMOTION MEETING or a LACROSSE INTRODUCTION WEEKEND. The promotion day or night meeting would be to promote the idea of having a lacrosse program. This approach will also help you gauge the amount of support from volunteers, including coaches and officials. In both cases, SLA help and promotional material can be requested (and willl be provided)!

Step 5:

• Request SLA promotional brochures, flyers and guidelines to use in your marketing and promotion of your lacrosse plans.
• Request interlacrosse sticks through the SLA’s stick loan program
• Contact your local media outlets and give them details of your plans to get the maximum coverage.

Step 6:

After evaluating your response to Step 4, you can continue in Year One with a simple drop-in program, where you introduce the Interlacrosse, Box Lacrosse or Field Lacrosse to the schools. You could start a house league for lacrosse, either contact or non-contact in your first year or you could start a full-fledged association through the SLA.

Step 7: Evaluate

• You must conduct a wrap-up session at the end of Year One, evaluate the program, and plan Year Two.
• Certify your coaches and officials by having SLA Technical personnel come out and hold clinics.
• Request further assistance from the SLA to help establish a viable lacrosse association.

Good luck, and we'll be waiting for your call!!!!
