The California Junior College Lacrosse Association (CJCLA) was formed in 2013 and is dedicated to expanding junior college lacrosse opportunities for the student-athletes of California. Membership in the CJCLA is open to any California junior college lacrosse program that is officially recognized as a student club by their institution.

The CJCLA mission is to provide new program assistance and consultation, student-athlete eligibility requirements, and hosting of the CJCLA Championship Tournament at the conclusion of the regular season. Different from NCAA, MCLA and other college lacrosse leagues, CJCLA play their season during the fall semester.

CJCLA is currently not sanctioned by California Community College Athletic Association (CCCAA) and is governed by its own elected leadership.[1]
