US Lacrosse
was founded on January 1, 1998, as the national governing body of men's
and women's lacrosse. The mission of US Lacrosse is to foster men's and
women's lacrosse as amateur sports through a single organization that
consolidates the various lacrosse constituencies engaged in the sport;
improve the quality of service provided to each constituency within the
sport; provide activities through the various constituencies that will
promote lacrosse nationwide; and ensure that all decisions concerning
the sport are made on a fiscally sound basis. The State of Washington is
one of 45 regions to have a local chapter of US Lacrosse.
