Age Verification

Fairness, Equity and Safety

As passionate advocates for the growth and safety of the sport, USA Lacrosse understands the importance of accurate age verification for players at all levels. Trusted age verification elevates the lacrosse experience for everyone, bringing peace of mind while promoting a safe and fair player experience. 

Beginning July 1, 2025 all USA Lacrosse player members will be required to complete the one-time age verification process to maintain active membership status.

Three Easy Steps to Age Verify

The USA Lacrosse age verification system is secure and easy to use. USA Lacrosse takes data security very seriously and is periodically audited by third parties for compliance with the latest standards.

1. Log into your USALacrosse.com account, not your child's if you are a parent. (See video below for a tutorial)
2. Find the member you need to verify.
3. Upload a valid form of ID. 

Age Segmentation

The USA Lacrosse Age Verification product can be used by leagues and event organizers to implement age segmentation policies that support fair play and player safety. The USA Lacrosse age segmentation policy recommends youth players be grouped in 12-month intervals with allowances of up to 24 months. Age charts for two of the most common groupings (12 months and 15 months) are listed below. The 15-month chart is currently used by many of the leading event and club operators in boys' lacrosse.

These charts are for play occurring between Sept 1, 2024 - August 31, 2025.
