2027 Program Grant Cycle

Overview:

OGLA’s Program Grants supports the expansion, long-term growth and sustainability of girl's lacrosse programs in the State of Oregon. 

OGLA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation that aims to connect communities through our love of lacrosse. Our mission with this grant is to help more programs and teams experience the game by reducing economic barriers to the sport of lacrosse. 

Interested parties must be an OGLA Youth or High School Member. Any member program that wishes to apply may do so. Grants consist of up to $500. Programs in need of funds for purchasing equipment (goals, goalie gear, sticks, balls, cones, first aid supplies, etc.) may apply. Each program will submit the application below which will include an itemized budget list for planned purchases. If granted, each grantee will also have to submit receipts post-purchase in order to ensure the proper use of funds.

**We have $4,000 in our budget to award for this Grant Cycle. Please only apply for what you need up to $500. Awards will be voted on by the OGLA Board with priority given to programs that have not been awarded grants previously and those that have the most pressing needs. We will be accepting applications from October 20th, 2026 - December 1st, 2026. Funding will be awarded by end of December 2026.

Thank you for taking the time to apply. We look forward to learning more about your lacrosse team!

Practice Limitation Rule - Exemption Available

As part of OGLA’s ongoing commitment to growing the sport of lacrosse, we are introducing the High School Coach Outside Club Coaching Exemption.

Rationale & Purpose: Maximizing the growth of lacrosse remains at the forefront of OGLA’s goals. The primary purpose of this interim exemption is to remove current restrictions that are hindering the growth of the sport. By allowing this exemption as we continue our progression toward official OSAA status, we aim to increase coaching opportunities, improve player development, and expand access to qualified coaches, all while maintaining a competitive balance among our member schools.

The Policy: Under this interim exemption, member high school coaches are permitted to coach non-school club teams, provided that no more than five (5) players from their high school program are on the club roster.

Application Requirement: Please note that it is a requirement to apply for an exemption through our official form. This annual documentation is essential so we can effectively track how many coaches are coaching players at both entities (high school and club) and ensure compliance with OGLA's ethical standards. The form must be completed annually by either the participating coach or the respective club director.

You can access and submit the required exemption form here: Exemption Form 

Additional Conditions of the Exemption:

Voluntary Participation: Club team participation must be strictly voluntary and cannot be a condition for high school program participation, playing time, or team selection.

Recruiting & Ethics: Coaches may not use their high school position to improperly recruit athletes to the club team.

Compliance: All other OGLA bylaws, eligibility, and codes of conduct remain in effect. Violation of any provision or failure to submit the required form may result in disciplinary action.

Policy Revocation: OGLA reserves the right to amend, suspend, or completely remove this exemption policy at any point at the discretion of the board.

Thank you for your dedication to developing our student-athletes and growing the sport.
