The goal of this project is to organize the efforts of those working on articles about and concerning the sport of lacrosse, including both field and box / indoor lacrosse.
All professional or highest level of play lacrosse leagues should have pages describing (or at least listing) the teams, former teams, champions and past champions, awards, etc. Some of these may be on separate pages.
Player pages should include the year(s) that the player has played, which team(s) he/she played for (in as many leagues as possible), and should include stats (at least for NLL and MLL) if possible.
There is now an infobox ({{Infobox Lacrosse Player}}) that should be used on all player pages
Any participation in international lacrosse should be mentioned as well.
We should have pages on all of the different tournaments and championships - Mann Cup, Minto Cup, NCAA, Heritage Cup, other international tournaments. Some of these already exist.
The assessment system allows the WikiProject to monitor the quality of articles in its subject areas, and to prioritize work on these articles. The following guidelines can help to determine what class should be assigned to an article. The class should be filled in on the "class" parameter of the {{Lacrosse}} template on the article's talk page.
Expand women's lacrosse article. Include description of positions (cover point, 1-3 home, etc.), penalties section should be prose, & an explanation of equipment differences, etc.
Create NLL Team Season articles: currently all NLL teams' seasons from 2005 to current have been created.(credit: MrBoo) The Toronto Rock seasons & Philadelphia Wings seasons articles for each season since inception have been completed.
NLLInsider's Paul Tutka ran a series of his Top 50 Players currently in the NLL. Here are the player's that do not have articles on Wikipedia Anybody looking to create an article for a current NLL player, here is a nice place to start:
10stone5 - Played college lacrosse. Interested in updating college lacrosse entries, but will also handle NLL whenever possible.
Paploo - I am a proud purple-and-teal-bleeding Rochester Knighthawks fan (a Lifetime Krew member, no less). I can help on the article, and would like to help on any past and present K-Hawk player articles.
MNLax8 - New to wikipedia. College player, experienced and knowledgable stringer. I'd like to help out with stick technology and stringing technology/technique, and can help with NCAA and MCLA college lacrosse.
Davidjsc - I've updated the Western Lacrosse Association page with franchise movement. My area of interest in BC lacrosse; especially the BC field leagues from 1886-1931. I'll eventually post up my BC history articles which can be found at [3]; As a former league executive with the West Central Lacrosse League, I've been responsible for constructing and maintaining the entry for that league. I'm currently involved with the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame board of directors, as the person responsible for acquisitions and archives. Recently I proofed and updated the names on the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame page as there were errors and omissions.
TheScottDL - updated the 'Lacrosse Leagues' categories and added a Senior/Post-Collegiate area. Deleted 'Professional' category with MLL combined with all indoor leagues.

Please feel free to list your new Lacrosse-related articles here (newer articles at the top, please). Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them should be suggested for the Did you know? box the Main Page.
Note: If you remove something from here, please archive it to the New Articles page.
Note that logos (teams, leagues, etc.) require a "Fair use" tag and rationale. Here's the page from Image:BaltimoreThunder.png as an example:
{{Non-free media rationale
|Description = Logo of the [[Baltimore Thunder]] lacrosse team (now defunct)
|Source = http://www.logoserver.com/MILLNLL.html
|Article = Baltimore Thunder
|Portion = Entire image
|Purpose = for fair use:
*This image is a low-resolution image of the logo.
*This image does not limit the copyright holder's ability to profit from the original source, nor will it dilute the importance or
recognition of the logo in connection with its organization.
*This image enhances the article in which it's displayed, as it provides an immediate means of visual identification of the subject to
the reader more capably than the textual description alone.
*Use of the logo visually identifies the organization in a manner that mere prose cannot, and meets all criteria in WP:NFCC.
|Resolution = Yes

Please add {{Lacrosse}} to the talk page of any and all lacrosse-related pages that you edit. You should also add class and importance parameters, described above.
There are two player templates; one for actual rosters and another for lists.
The {{Lacrosse player}} template should be used for rosters and roster templates, where the {{Lacrosse player list}} template should be used for lists.
The roster template is the same as the {{Player}} template, but has additional optional fields for captains, alternate captains, unrestricted free agents and franchise players.
The list template was originally copied from {{fs start}} et al., but those templates are specific to soccer, and they linked the positions to pages about the soccer positions. There was also no "transition" position, and the soccer term "goalkeeper" is usually "goaltender" in lacrosse. I removed the links so now you can put in any position you want. We can add the links again later if we want, since these are now lacrosse-specific.
