This exclusive and invite only college prep team is designed to prepare rising seniors for the rigors of varsity college lacrosse and their upcoming freshman season.  Our goal is to prepare student athletes by:

  • exposing players to the highest caliber players in the country
    • playing with fellow elite players prepares them to transform from an elite high school player to an elite college player
  • accessing the highest level of coaching
    • our coaches know what it takes because they have been through the process and gone on to play professionally

Players will receive access to MLL players Jake Deane, Mike Gabel, and Ryan Covert.  Our coaches bring a wealth of knowledge to the game and our success placing athletes at top tier college programs demonstrates our commitment to excellence.

Our team will be traveling to three team tournaments around the country to play the best high school lacrosse players in the nation.  These three tournaments will give each player the opportunity to play with top notch talent from across the country and prepare them for elite college lacrosse.
