MCLA Board of Directors Annual Summer Meeting Recap

Atlanta, GA (August 13, 2024) – The Board of Directors of the Men’s Collegiate Lacrosse Association (MCLA) held their annual summer planning meeting August 9 - 10, 2024 in Las Vegas, NV to align and take action on any pressing topics needing to be implemented in the upcoming year.

All regions of the MCLA were represented at the board meeting and new Executive Committee Members were selected.

“This year’s meeting went very smoothly and was an incredibly productive couple of days together ironing out what we all need this year to be successful,” said MCLA President Ken Lovic. “One of the key discussions centered around securing the 2025 National Championship location and we’re excited to announce that we will return to Round Rock Multipurpose Complex for a final year.”

The 2025 National Championships Presented by New Balance Lacrosse will be back in Round Rock, TX after the Board voted to exercise their final option year at the facility. The dates of the event are May 5 - 10.
