top lacrosse academy teams

Academy teams are the pinnacle of the lacrosse programming at TOP Lacrosse and offer a pathway for advanced players who are looking for a more complete season full of structured practices, tournaments, and games. With an emphasis on team building and advanced skill development, our goal is to help our players develop into successful athletes on and off the field.

To provide the ultimate competitive lacrosse experience, Academy teams are offered during the Spring travel season from April to June:

  • Spring Travel Season - The spring season runs from April to June and features an extensive development program with 3x practices per week and 2-3 travel tournaments, depending on the age group.

  • Fall Sixes Season - To encourage players to play multiple sports, Academy players are encouraged to participate in the TOP Lacrosse Sixes League during the Fall season, which includes a weekly skills session and weekly Sixes League games on Sundays.

2025 Spring Academy Teams

  • U17 Boys (2009/2010)

  • U15 Boys (2011/2012)

  • U13 Boys (2013/2014)

APPLICATION PROCESS

Due to the limited amount of spots we have available on TOP Lacrosse Academy teams, all interested players must fill out an application form to register their interest in joining the program. At the conclusion of the fall season in November, applications will open for the next season. After the Technical Director has determined how many players are returning from the previous season’s spring teams, interested players will be notified if/when there is room in their desired age group.

Acceptance to the program is not on a ‘first come first serve’ basis, but is determined by an evaluation of the player’s previous experience and family philosophy. Priority will always be given to athletes who play more than one sport at TOP.
