US Lacrosse Sanctioning: What's in it for me?

Raleigh LaxFest was the first US Lacrosse Sanctioned event and National Qualifier in the state of North Carolina.
​Our tournaments are part of the US Lacrosse Sanctioning Program.
US Lacrosse Sanctioning is a designation given to events that have adopted a set of operational and safety standards set forward by US Lacrosse. These tournament standards are a set of best practices that cover five main areas of an event: game format, venue, risk management, event administration, and certified officials. When these best practices are adopted in their entirety, events create a more positive experience for participants while receiving insurance and marketing benefits from US Lacrosse.
