About Us

The American Lumberjack Association is rich in tradition and history. The ALA is a group of sportsmen and women dedicated to furthering, upgrading and standardizing lumberjack sports. We are a body which sets up rules in order to govern sanctioned shows and competitors. We maintain equipment, keep records and mail regular newsletters to members.  We hold two annual meetings, which we will have more information on soon. The ALA Board consists of four officers and four board members.

Each sanctioned show has its own management and is run to suit the locality in which it is held. The ALA provides rules  which account for consistency and uniformity for both competitors and sanctioned shows. The rules raise the standards of lumberjack sports so they have the potential to rank among the foremost of American sports, provide guidelines to maintain cooperation between management and competitors of all sanctioned shows and also protect members.

The ALA currently has over 250 members! We have several categories of membership, from an associate member who receives mailings only, to an annual member who is included in points, rankings, votes at annual meetings, is provided a rulebook and much, much, more.
