Team NorCal Travel Teams Tryouts - Boys and Girls

WHY TEAM NORCAL LACROSSE?

In 2023, over 90 Team NorCal alums played college lacrosse at all levels - D1, D2, D3 and MCLA.  In 2019, 19 of our alumni participated on teams playing in the MCLA College Lacrosse National Championship Tournament (March Madness but for Lacrosse and held in May).  Alums also played on the NCAA Lacrosse Championship teams Denver (D1) Limestone (D2), Tufts (D3) and Onondaga (JuCo) in 2015

Team NorCal is the oldest elite lacrosse development program in the San Francisco Bay Area -  Now in our 14th year, over 400 boys and girls at Youth. Middle School and High School levels will represent Northern California in local, regional and national lacrosse tournaments. Teams representing grad years 2024-2032.  Whether you are the best player on your team, or just want to be, Team NorCal has a team appropriate for your development needs.  

Over 50% of Northern California USA Lacrosse-named HS All Americans in the last decade came from the Team NorCal program - A strong track record of developing talent.     

A year-round travel and development program, including Camps, Summer and Fall Leagues,  and Small Roster Tournaments.   More touches than any other program by far.  Teams and players improve only through consistent practice, not through rushed 'training camps' a couple of times per year.  We are far more than just travel tournaments.  

Experienced Coaches - We only hire experienced high school and college coaches who look out for the entire team.  No parent influence in the roster or playing decisions.  

Sustained Performance -The success of our program speaks for itself.  We have a very long list of prestigious tournaments we have won over the years at all youth and HS levels.  Our new Girls' program has won 6 tournaments since its inception across various age groupings.    

Family Friendly- Our tournaments and events are very family-friendly, giving players and families a chance to enjoy the weekends and make new friends.  Our Hospitality Tents have a well-deserved national reputation (it is hard to believe until you see it..).  An All Team Inner Tube Float down the Des Chutes River in Bend, Oregon tops off our summer each year!  Team Dinners at every tournament make getting to know everyone fun and easy.  

 

Where Do I Start?

If you are an experienced player, and ready for travel ball, you should definitely try out for one of our boys or girls teams.  If you are unsure, perhaps you can participate in one of our many programs that happen during pretty much all seasons. We have summer day and overnight camps, Summerball and Fall Ball Leagues, and small roster/small field tournaments (aka The Silicon Valley Shootout) which will help you improve your game and have fun at the same time.  

Our travel teams do have different level teams in most age groups that will enable you to play at a skill-appropriate level.

Want to Tryout Between Seasons?

While we have regularly scheduled triannual tryouts (January, April/May and August/September), often players learn of us and want to tryout right away and get involved in the program.  If this is you, contact either Brent, our Boys' HS Director at brent@teamnorcal.com  or Colleen Niklaus, our Girls' Director and Executive Director at colleen@teamnorcal.com.  Sign up above to tryout, and we'll let you know of the next practice which you can attend for a tryout.
