Welcome to the Lacrosse WikiProject. We are a group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of the sport of lacrosse.
(For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and the Guide to WikiProjects).
Goals
The goal of this project is to organize the efforts of those working on articles about and concerning the sport of lacrosse, including all four distinct versions of the sport: men's field lacrosse, box lacrosse (or indoor lacrosse), women's lacrosse, and intercrosse or soft-stick lacrosse. Each has its own article with a link from the main lacrosse article.
Leagues
All professional or highest level of play lacrosse leagues should have articles describing the teams, former teams, champions and past champions, awards, etc.
List of leagues:
- Athletes Unlimited Lacrosse - women's, Athletes Unlimited model
- Major Series Lacrosse - box, Senior A, summer, Ontario
- National Lacrosse League - box, winter/spring, United States and Canada
- Premier Lacrosse League - field, touring model, United States and Canada
- Western Lacrosse Association - box, Senior A, summer, British Columbia
- Major League Lacrosse - defunct field league
- Women's Professional Lacrosse League - defunct women's, United States
Teams
All team pages need improvement. They should have several prose sections, including history, championship descriptions, notable years, and notable players. Perhaps arena info or broadcasting. Tables should include championships, yearly records, roster of players, head coaches, maybe draft picks. Example: Philadelphia Wings (1987–2014). Or any NFL, NBA, MLB, or NHL team page.
WPLL team pages are stubs. Also, almost all WLA and MSL teams are stubs with very few citations. Finally, PLL team pages are mostly statistics, with very little prose content. An external link to the PLL's stat page would suffice for the individual stats table.
Players
- {{Infobox lacrosse player}} should be used on all player 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, PLL and MLL) if possible.
- Any participation in international lacrosse should be mentioned as well.
