What is club lacrosse?

Youth Club Lacrosse is different from Youth Recreational Lacrosse. Club Lacrosse is typically for more “serious” players seeking higher-level play and wanting to eventually play lacrosse in college. Club programs offer increased exposure to high-level play and help get players in front of college coaches and recruiters. There are many benefits to joining a club lacrosse program, but there can also be potential downsides.

THE POSITIVES OF club:

  • Offers the potential for year-round play to players who love the game and want more

  • Exposes players to higher competition levels at club tournaments and college recruiters

  • Focuses on specialized player skill development through more intensive training

  • Creates unique experiences through travel and exposure to different regional variations of play

  • Programs should provide a supportive environment throughout the above endeavors

Potential downsides:

  • Can be expensive. The expense itself can exclude some players from participating *

  • More intensive training and travel requirements can be a tough commitment for some families and players
