Making Lacrosse an Official Sport Can Help Provide Accessibility for all Youth

Each school can decide how much budget to allocate. Booster Clubs, Grants and State Funding can be available. Sanctioning Nebraska Lacrosse can help purchase equipment that schools can reuse for generations to come lowering costs over time. If a school’s budget cannot afford to bring on the program, Athletic Directors can still vote YES to Sanction Lacrosse and have students participate in Co-Ops. Schools can still vote YES and opt out to not prevent other schools student opportunities. 

Estimated lacrosse player equipment costs: about $835 for boys and $300 for girls, itemized by helmet, gloves, pads, mouthpiece, uniform and stick
