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]
