Age Segmentation
1) Standardized US Lacrosse Youth Rules
2) Athlete development programming
Consistent Positive National playing experience.
Age Segmentation
• US Lacrosse recognizes that many leagues and programs are currently grouped in age spans beyond 12 months.
• Organizations may form teams with up to a 24-month age variance if necessary to ensure participation.
• Even year age should be the maximum age for the paired segment (i.e., 7U/8U) and teams with a greater than 12-month variance must play by the rules for the youngest age group of the team.
• Local organizations that choose to form teams with a 24-month variance should have appropriate risk management policies and planning in place to ensure that player safety is not compromised.
Age Verification- Why?
US Lacrosse needs to stay a step or two ahead of real time problems like making sure that kids are appropriately rostered for the best playing experience.
Player safety is at risk
Competitive fairness in lacrosse is at risk
Age Verification is a national standard for many other NGB’s like youth football, swimming, etc…
