Awards and Honors

WLUA congratulations all umpires, players, coaches, and teams for their noteworthy achievements! 

Madelaine B. Kirlin Award

Presented annually to the umpire and junior umpire who best demonstrate the qualities of dedication, hard work and service that Madelaine exemplified during her life. Madelaine was a long-time high school and college umpire with WLUA that went above and beyond her umpire responsibilities. She served as a mentor, leader and dear friend to all. She was the kind of partner all wanted to work with. Her passion for lacrosse and giving to our lacrosse community surpassed her responsibility of being on the field. 

Potomac Lacrosse Association Hall of Fame

To honor those men and women, who by their outstanding achievements, noteworthy service, and laudable character, exemplify the spirit of the game of lacrosse, and who, through their extraordinary dedication, commitment and contribution, have advanced the growth and excellence of lacrosse in the greater Washington, DC metropolitan area. 

WLUA Sportsmanship Award

This is awarded annually to a youth girls lacrosse club which consistently displays good sportsmanship from its players, coaches and fans throughout the NVYLL Spring season. The WLUA acknowledges the value that good sportsmanship brings to the game, enabling a positive environment where all involved can play safely, fairly, and, most importantly, have fun.
