Stags Lacrosse is built for experienced youth and high school players who are committed to elevating their game. Our program is designed for athletes seeking elite instruction, advanced competition, and high-level development opportunities.
Players must either earn a roster spot through tryouts or receive a direct invitation from our coaching staff. Tryouts ensure we maintain a high-level environment where every athlete is surrounded by competitive peers.
We field elite teams in multiple youth and high-school age groups, specifically serving players in the 2026–2035 graduation years. Each roster is carefully constructed to ensure positional balance and the right mix of elite-level skill sets.
Players must have full, properly fitted lacrosse equipment, including: helmet, shoulder pads, gloves, arm pads, stick, cleats, and mouth guard. Goalie gear is required for goalies. Uniform packages are provided as part of the program.
Stags tuition includes:
We offer flexible payment choices to make participation accessible. Families can choose to pay in full at registration or take advantage of our easy 6-installment payment plan.

Teams are constructed based on performance at tryouts, positional needs, coach evaluations, athleticism, lacrosse IQ, and overall fit within the roster. Coaches aim to create balanced, competitive teams capable of thriving at elite tournaments.
