Lakeshore Lacrosse offers
lacrosse camps and leagues for women and girls all year round. Our girls’
lacrosse camps and leagues are instructed by experienced coaches have
been teaching and playing lacrosse for years in a variety of competitive
settings. Some of us also coach at highly competitive high school programs
such as Michelle Sebastian, head coach of Hinsdale Central High School
Women's Lacrosse team, who led the school to its first Illinois High
School Women's Lacrosse State Champion title in 2007.
Our Lakeshore Lacrosse and IGLA (www.iglax.org) summer girls' lacrosse camps
and leagues are a fun way to meet new friends and play with girls of
a similar age. Girls from 3rd to 12th grade practice all around Chicagoland
and compete in games refereed by US Lacrosse certified women's lacrosse
umpires. Our Select League offers two levels of play; one for junior
high lax players and one for more experienced lacrosse athletes who
are interested in or are currently playing at the high school JV
or varsity level. Our most competitive laxers participate in our Travel
Team program. These teams go to national and international tournaments
as well as local competitions in Chicago, greater Illinois and the Midwest.
The Travel Team program consists of three teams: Team 1 which is for
varsity girls’ lacrosse players who are interested in playing lacrosse
in college; as well as youth teams for Under 15 and Under 13. Additionally,
the Lakeshore Women's Lacrosse Club offers a lakefront league, designed
for experienced adult women who played or currently play lacrosse in
high school and/or college and want to keep their lax skills in check.
The Lakeshore Women's Lacrosse Club also travels to tournaments around
Chicago, the Midwest and beyond. The LWLC has competed in the Vail
Shootout in CO, the National Tournament in PA, and the Lake Tahoe Tournament
in NV.
In the fall things really
start heating up! The Select Leagues showcase fall colors in beautiful
area parks and excellent off-season girls' lacrosse.
Our travel teams attend out of state and local tournaments to keep their
skills in check. In October Lakeshore Lacrosse hosts the Chi-Town Classic.
This tournament brings in high school, college women's lacrosse teams,
and post collegiate teams from all over the Midwest to play on the Chicago
lake front at Montrose Park.
And we don't cool down
for the winter. Indoor lacrosse is all about games and the so-called
"fastest game on two feet" gets a turbo boost. Several indoor
sports facilities around Chicagoland play host to fast-paced 6v6 girls'
and women’s lacrosse leagues. The Holiday on Lax tournament in December
is a collaboration with Amonte Sports. This unique tournament brings
together Lakeshore Lacrosse coaches and current members of the Northwestern
University Women's Lacrosse team. Players sharpen their skills for the
spring season with lots of playing time and a specialized goalie clinic
to help keepers keep their cool in the crease.
In the spring we see
our high school players off to lead their teams through the regular
high school lacrosse season. Elementary and middle school girls get
to watch their older sisters play and enjoy fun recreational lacrosse
with the Illinois Girls Lacrosse Association (www.iglax.org)
The IGLA, which we at
Lakeshore Lacrosse like to think of as our little sister, provides opportunities
for all girls from 3rd grade to 8th grade to play lacrosse.
Additionally, Lakeshore
Lacrosse offers private instruction year round, information on equipment
as well as field lining consultation with the Accu-Arc women's lacrosse
field lining tool.
With a staff of over 50,
we have established relationships in over 30 communities in the Chicagoland
area including Park Districts, Villages, and YMCA’s. We currently
