Tryouts will be structured in a clinic format run by Dan Deckelbaum and Elevated Lacrosse Staff with high school or college coaching experience. Besides trying out, players will get instruction from the coaching staff. Interested players are only required to make one evaluation. We will not be cutting any players.
Players not making the tournament teams will be offered a position in the Elevated Lacrosse core training academy. The core training academy will focus on skill progression, lacrosse IQ and teaching the skills needed to play lacrosse at a higher level. The core training academy includes the West Chester Lacrosse Summer League (6 games June-July). Spots will be open on tournament teams for players to be invited to tournaments from the core training academy based on practice performance and skill progression.

West Chester Elevated Lacrosse Club (WCEL) is a Fall & Summer program designed to teach individual skill progression, lacrosse IQ, team concepts, and provide competitive game play. The program will be competitive, intense and fun while also being a cost-effective alternative to other club programs. Our approach is a practice first mentality. Practice is where players improve and games are where players are tested. The ultimate goal is to provide a fun environment where players develop lacrosse skills and knowledge to play at a higher competitive level in high school or college.
– Every team will have at least one coach with high school or college coaching experience.
