Midwest Select

Competitive Teams for the Intermediate to Advanced Players

Lakeshore’s Midwest Select Travel program is for players looking to further develop their skills, play competitively and travel to tournaments in the Midwest. The emphasis is on helping each player learn proper mechanics & fundamentals, improve decision making & lacrosse IQ, and build confidence. We believe in cultivating a positive, family culture that allows players to excel both on and off the field. Our teams are coached by former high school & college players, many of whom are current high school coaches. Our coaches are passionate about lacrosse & developing players to succeed.
