Offering competitive teams across a range of levels. Built on expert coaching, a proven training philosophy, and a commitment to long-term player development, Lakeshore delivers an elite experience, family-like culture and gritty mentality that helps athletes reach their full potential.
Across all of our teams, Lakeshore develops players for success on the field and off, to excel both in lacrosse and life.
Unlike many club programs, Lakeshore believes that in-season practices during the fall and summer tournament seasons should be focused primarily on team development—building chemistry, reinforcing team concepts, and strengthening the culture that drives success on and off the field.
We place our greatest emphasis on the offseason, when players have the opportunity to make the most significant gains as individual athletes. This is the time to refine fundamentals, expand skill sets, take risks, and develop the confidence needed to elevate performance.
Because player development is at the core of our philosophy, Lakeshore offers high-impact training opportunities throughout the offseason, including elite training programs, clinics, and individual and small-group lessons. We encourage every player to take advantage of these opportunities to address areas for growth, sharpen their skills, and enter both school and club seasons as a more polished, confident, and complete athlete.
While we expect our players to dedicate time each offseason to improving their lacrosse skills, Lakeshore strongly values and encourages multi-sport participation. We believe that competing in multiple sports helps athletes develop a broader range of skills that translate directly to success on the lacrosse field.
Designed for the area’s top lacrosse players, our Premier teams provide the highest level of competition, coaching, and development within the Lakeshore program. These teams are built for athletes who are committed to continuous improvement and motivated to maximize their potential. Premier players embrace a growth mindset, actively seeking opportunities to develop their skills both during and beyond team practices. Our older Premier teams travel East for a majority of tournament play in order to maximize exposure, level of play and be amongst the countries top talent.
Our Select teams offer a competitive club lacrosse experience focused on skill development, confidence building, and a deeper understanding of the game. Through quality coaching and a player-centered approach, athletes develop strong fundamentals, improve their lacrosse IQ, and continue progressing in a supportive, competitive environment. Select teams compete in local tournaments throughout the greater Chicagoland area, providing meaningful competition and valuable game experience without the demands of extensive travel.
Lakeshore supports our athletes big picture goals including pursuing lacrosse at the collegiate level. Through extensive recruiting experience, connections and expertise, Lakeshore aims to help players find the best college fit – from the level of competition and team culture to academics and life beyond the classroom.
