The greater metro area has several Club Lacrosse Teams that practice year-round and provide opportunities to play regionally and nationally. BYLC does not endorse any specific organization; however, for your convenience, here is an alphabetical listing of teams and opportunities. If interested in playing for a club team, reach out to the organization for more info regarding playing opportunities.
Most clubs hold tryouts in late July/early fall. Several also do winter or spring tryouts, particularly if they are in need of additional players to round out a team. Additionally, they may allow individual, in-season evaluations.
Club teams allow players to play both the club team and their local associations, so players can stay connected to their local communities.
