NJJGLL believes that Honoring the Game of lacrosse comes before winning and losing. We have created a form to report instances where a participant(s), team or group created either a POSITIVE or NEGATIVE notable experience during a NJJGLL event. Notable would mean either "I have never seen another youth lacrosse organization do this better" or "This behavior was unsatisfactory."
We do plan on recognizing and rewarding members who display exceptional sportsmanship.
Please try to sort out a negative event on your own and between the town program managers. If you are unable to resolve the issue or are not satisfied, then fill out the form. Reports of poor sportsmanship will be investigated by the conference president and/or the sportsmanship chair.
Thank you for your help in support of our efforts to "Honor the Game".
Use this form to enter your sponsorship reports within 48 hours of the incident.

This year NJJGLL launched a new lanyard initiative to acknowledge all of our US Lacrosse Level 1 and Level 2 certified coaches.
We will now be requiring coaches to display their credentials on the field during games to participate. Attached to the end of the lanyard is a plastic sleeve in which you are to keep your current US Lacrosse membership card. By adhering to these simple rules the umpires will be able to quickly determine if coaches have met their compliance deadlines.
Any coach who: • did not attend a Winter 2010 NJJGLL sponsored level 1 clinic (Basking Ridge, Mt Olive or Millburn),
• has at least submitted their certification application and background check* and
• does not have a level 1 or 2 lanyard yet
should complete the online lanyard request form by clicking here. Your lanyard will be in the mail in a few days. (while supplies last).
Coaches who attended Basking Ridge, Mt Olive or Millburn were given their lanyards then.
* US Lacrosse coach certification requires completion of the three educational components and an application to US Lacrosse for certification before the background check- click here for more info.
If there is an issue with or question on your certification, please contact US Lacrosse. sportdevelopment@uslacrosse.org

As you have heard, the US Lacrosse Board of Directors unanimously approved some significant changes in the US Lacrosse national volunteer and staff structures in order to better position the organization to serve its members and the sport, as well as advance its mission. These structural changes were the culminations of 18 months of focused review as directed by the US Lacrosse Strategic Plan. You can read more detail on this organizational evolution by clicking here.
The new structure reduces the size of, but maintains the game balance on, the Board of Directors. Additionally, in order to establish greater alignment throughout the organization, the current Division Board and Council structures will be replaced by nine Board Committees – Executive, Men’s Game, Women’s Game, Finance, Human Resources, Sport Development, Board Development, Regional Chapters and Strategic Planning. The Men’s and Women’s Game Committees of the Board will oversee a constituent subcommittee structure. All Board committees will be chaired by Board members.
The Board also approved a change in the way volunteers are selected to serve the organization. From now on the selection of volunteers for board, committee and subcommittee positions within US Lacrosse will shifts from a constituent appointment process to an application process managed by a newly-formed Board Development Committee. The goal of this shift is to allow a more inclusive process that enables US Lacrosse to benefit from a wider selection of candidates who support the organization’s mission and are committed the organization’s ongoing development and improvement.
Among other responsibilities, the Board Development Committee is charged with assessing current and anticipated needs for Board composition, and making nominee recommendations to the Board to ensure:
In this regard, the Board Development Committee has announced an open call for applicants interested in serving on the new Board and other components of the revised volunteer structure. The deadline for applications is March 12, and new board terms will begin on August 1. A description of Board roles and responsibilities can be found by clicking here. A copy of the volunteer application can be downloaded by clicking here, or it can be completed and submitted online by clicking here.
Please circulate this throughout your organization and let me know if you have any questions. Many thanks for helping us to provide this opportunity to your constituents and, as a result, enable US Lacrosse to be a more inclusive, representative and effective organization.

Just in case you might have missed the piece on page 54 of the November issue of Lacrosse Magazine, our very own NJJGLL Umpire Representative Laura McCarthy was honored by US Lacrosse as one of their 2009 Youth Award Winners!
It is very gratifying to see that our national partner, US Lacrosse, has recognized Laura for the positive contribution she has made to the game of women’s lacrosse. Laura’s value and dedication to the sport is something that we in New Jersey have known about and appreciated for many years. If by any chance you will be attending the National Convention in Baltimore in January, please consider going to the awards breakfast on Saturday morning when Laura will be honored. And if you can’t make the trip down I-95, please take a moment the next time you see Laura and thank her personally for all that she has done.
