NAIA lacrosse
Encyclopedia
There are numerous men's and women's college lacrosse
teams at schools that are members of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics
(NAIA), which is an alternate athletic organization for National Collegiate Athletic Association
(NCAA). The vast majority of these lacrosse programs participate either in the Men's Collegiate Lacrosse Association
(MCLA) for men or the Women's Collegiate Lacrosse Associates
(WCLA) for women.
Both the MCLA and WCLA were specifically founded to organize lacrosse clubs that lacked varsity
teams that officially represent the college or university and that generally receive direct school funding. However, because the NAIA does not currently organize the sport of lacrosse for its member institutions, many of their schools have begun organizing new varsity
lacrosse teams through the MCLA or WCLA instead, where the school administers the program through their athletic department. Typically, these varsity programs, like their NCAA counterparts, provide athletic scholarship
s to some of their players, often after a public ceremony that includes an official "letter of intent
" signing by the new recruit and official publicity from the school about the event. Further, the official school athletic department usually hires and fires the coaching staff and provides uniforms, equipment and covers travel expenses, among other things. They also generally pay the MCLA or WCLA dues for the team as an expense of the athletic department.
This has become somewhat controversial within both the MCLA and WCLA, because these varsity teams seem to have unfair advantages over student-run and financed club teams. Generally, it's obvious when an NAIA team is "varsity" or college or university-run, because it appears on the official athletics website for the school alongside other varsity programs for basketball or track & field, for example. Club teams typically are not included at all on official school athletics websites or are clearly labeled as "club" teams, often for liability purposes. See the references below for documentation of this phenomenon.
Lastly, it is hoped in the future that the NAIA will eventually organize lacrosse for its member schools and thus separate varsity teams from club teams that are currently mixed together in the MCLA and WCLA. However, the NAIA process for recognizing new sports is lengthy and complicated, so this make take a number of years to accomplish. One step in this direction is the establishment in September 2010 of the National Women's Lacrosse League, which is an attempt to organize varsity NAIA competition in lacrosse.
