ABOUT USA LACROSSE MAGAZINE
Since 1978, USA Lacrosse Magazine has inspired generations of lacrosse families to love this great game and leave it better for the next. We harness the power of storytelling to help fuel the sport’s growth and enrich the experience of participants.
You can have the magazine delivered right to you mailbox while supporting the development of the sport by becoming a USA Lacrosse member.
SUBSCRIPTIONS
USA Lacrosse Magazine is available only to members of USA Lacrosse as one of the many benefits of membership. Membership dues help USA Lacrosse fuel the growth of the game nationwide. Join USA Lacrosse today to start your subscription.
Non-youth members receive all issues of the magazine. Youth members (age 14 and under) currently receive the February, March, April, May/June, July/August and November/December issues, but have the option to upgrade to all issues with their membership.
New members must join at least one month prior to an issue month in order to receive the next issue. For example, to receive the July/August issue, a member must join USA Lacrosse before the address file is pulled from the database by June 1.
When quantities permit, additional copies or back issues of USA Lacrosse Magazine can be purchased through USA Lacrosse. The cost of each issue is $5 for members and $6 for non-members, inclusive of postage. To inquire about quantities, please e-mail membership@usalacrosse.com.
Some members have noticed that the address label on the magazine is now being printed upside down. This is not a printing error. This is a new requirement from the USPS for periodicals using co-mail (which we do). The only way to print addresses right-side up would be to move them to the back cover, which we do not favor doing at this time.
