The Allied Lacrosse Network (ALN) supports, promotes, and defends the historically significant sport known as Mens Club Lacrosse.

Perhaps no other level of the sport is as responsible for the widespread growth of lacrosse in the United States as the mens club level. There is still growth to be achieved yet, and a healthy mens club level can help realize that growth.

The ALN supports traditional club lacrosse, played during the regular spring season, on a field, 10v10....the way it was for decades. Traditional club lacrosse faces unique and inherent challenges that "house" or "beer" leagues do not, and therefore we exist to assist, grow and support the traditional mens game.

During the past 20-30 years, the club game has been encroached upon by many forces, mostly because it did not have a unified voice to defend it. No longer. This is a place for clubs, players and leagues to support one another and the level of the sport we all know is critical for the true expansion and growth of lacrosse.

Mens club lacrosse has a very rich and cherished history, and that is what we will be working to preserve and rebuild. The very best days of mens club lacrosse are ahead of us, not behind us. Rebuilt correctly, this level of the sport can see development beyond what was seen before.

We will support true mens club lacrosse at the semi-professional level, the collegiate level, and at the military level. Wherever true club lacrosse is played, we will support.

We will foster strong networking between players, clubs, and leagues to assist in creating new playing opportunities. There are far more lacrosse players available today than there ever has been in the sport's history. The mens club lacrosse level should be in its "Golden Era". That is our goal........
