US Lacrosse Michigan, the Michigan Chapter of the National Governing body of the sport, awards grants annually for lacrosse in the State of Michigan. Grants are available for startup teams, coaches and officials training. We also have travel grants available for individual players. Over the last 2 years we have provided over 21 grants across the state to teams in Grand Blanc, Troy, Royal Oak, Grosse Ile, Dexter, Lake Orion, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, South Lyon, Northville, Lansing, Grand Rapids, Grand Haven, Berrien, Tecumseh, Clarkston, Chelsea, and Williamston. Grants have been awarded for as little as $35 to as much as $400. We have purchased goals for new programs, supplied T-shirts to lacrosse introductory programs, funded equipment and uniform purchases and assisted new coaches and officials with convention registration and training costs.

A record 50 lacrosse organizations will receive US Lacrosse Youth Equipment Grants this year. The Youth Equipment Grant Program, in its seventh year, is an annual offering of US Lacrosse. Lacrosse programs applying for the grant must show a demonstrated financial need.US Lacrosse worked with equipment manufacturers Brine, Cascade, deBeer, STX and Warrior to make the program possible. The equipment included in this year’s grant packages has a retail value of more than $400,000.

“Without the generous support of the lacrosse industry we wouldn’t be able to reach so many children and help put sticks in their hands,” said Beth Reisinger, sport development director for US Lacrosse. “This truly is a partnership helping to seed the sport in both traditional and developing lacrosse areas.”

The following Michigan programs have been awarded grants for the 2005 cycle of the US Lacrosse Youth Equipment Grant Program:
