About Us 

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.
