Off-Season Travel Teams
It is often said among college lacrosse coaches that it doesn't matter where a
player went to high school, but rather what traveling team he played on. For
those players who are serious about lacrosse, travel teams provide the extra
coaching, development and all-star experience to bring their game to the next
level. Many of the Illinois travel teams choose to challenge the best
competition in the country on the East Coast. These tournaments attract the
attention of college coaches who otherwise wouldn't get to see any Illiniois
high school players compete. Almost all of the organizations listed below have
tryouts for their travel teams and require the players to pay all travel
expenses.
