Marc Riccio, President & CEO of USA Lacrosse, explains why the mission of USA Lacrosse starts at the youth level and extends all the way to the U.S. National Teams.
More kids playing sports is good for communities, families, schools, and the long-term health of the game. For USA Lacrosse, growing participation means creating more opportunities for young athletes to pick up a stick, learn the sport, build confidence, and experience the benefits of being part of a team.
Riccio compares USA Lacrosse to other national governing bodies like USA Hockey, USA Basketball, USA Football, and U.S. Ski & Snowboard — organizations responsible for supporting their sports from grassroots participation to elite national team competition.
For lacrosse, that mission includes both the men’s and women’s game, helping build the foundation at the youth level while also supporting the athletes who represent the United States on the world stage.
