Games

Nationwide, overnight tournaments + local play

Teams participate in spring scrimmages and tournament play on select weekends where they put into action the strategies emphasized on during the team practice.

 

Team Practices

3x per week
Option to add personal training!

Players advance their individual stick skills, develop team work, master game concepts and have fun while working with the best coaches around—they all played or coached collegiate-level lacrosse, some are certified officials and many are coaches of high school varsity teams.

Practice consists of Mon/ Wed and Sat/Sun. HS and Youth practice Mon/ Wed and youth fall on Saturdays while our HS groups practice on Sundays.

 

NCAA Recruiting

When players come to Lakeshore hoping to prepare to play at the collegiate level, we do more than just develop their skills—we ensure that they have the best opportunities to be recognized by recruiters and coaches. All National Premier players have access to this information. Lakeshore will host Recruiting Realities Seminars during the year. We encourage players to attend at least one of these to learn more about the process.

Lakeshore NCAA Recruiting Package
Families have the option to purchase a separate Recruiting Package for additional recruiting support. This is the opportunity to work with one of Lakeshore’s Recruiting Specialists, who will proactively communicate with NCAA coaches on your behalf.
