Each of these 9 teams will be made up of the best 20 players from across the state. All eight teams will travel in June and July to participate in the best summer recruiting tournaments in the country. Team Washington Lacrosse operates on three core philosophies:

1. The best coaches & instruction in the state: Team WA has the Head Coaches from Bainbridge, Bellevue, Issaquah, Juanita, Lake Washington, Mercer Island, Skyline, Tahoma & Woodinville on their staff. Every Washington state championship for the past 18 years has been won by one of these coaches (as well as six 2015 D1 state quarterfinalist head coaches, all four of the 2015 D1 state semifinalist head coaches, and both of the 2015 D2 state finalist head coaches). Team WA is highly selective with their coaching staff, and empahsize quality instruction over all other aspects of a summer travel team. We strongly encourage all prospective players and parents to research the resumes, records and philosphies of any and all lacrosse coaches/programs they hope to play for.

2. Traveling to the best tournaments in the country: The Team WA coaching staff firmly believes that the only way to get better is to play the best competition. That is why Team WA almost exclusively travels back east for all of their recruiting events, and only attends the hardest and most prestigious tournaments.

3. The best exposure to college coaches: A combination of the best coaches, the best players and the best tournaments, culminates with the best possible exposure for players interested in playing in college. The nine different high school programs represented on our coaching staff has by far the largest amount of alumni playing NCAA lacrosse in college from WA. This vast network of alumni connections and coaching relationships is the best college recruiting resource in the state of Washington.

Participation with Team Washington will not interfere or conflict with any summer high school lacrosse activities. Once the final roster of 20 players per class has been selected by our staff, all of the teams will practice together through June and into July.
