Our goal is to develop phenomenal players and teammates on and off the field — and to give our athletes the best possible pathway to college lacrosse and college preparation.
Everything at Team Carolina points toward one outcome: confident players who are developed, prepared, and placed in the right environment for high school and college lacrosse.

A dedicated Director of Recruiting and college-experienced staff focused on the best-fit landing spot for each athlete.
Team Carolina must be a player’s priority unless they play another sport. All-star and national teams are acceptable provided they don’t conflict with Team Carolina programming — or are communicated and agreed upon with the director and coaches ahead of time. Our partner all-star program is SweetLax.

Team Carolina's mission is to prepare players for the highest level of high school and college lacrosse. Players are developed, evaluated, and presented to the right college coaches — in the environments where it actually matters.
Team Carolina is for boys ready to commit to a competitive travel pathway. If your son is newer to the game or wants a lower-commitment option, CLA runs several other programs in the Carolinas — from free beginner clinics to town and HS summer leagues.
No-cost intro clinics for first-time players. Equipment provided. Run multiple times a year across the Carolinas.
Small-sided 3v3 format designed for younger players to develop skills, reads, and confidence with the stick.
Recreational summer league across town teams in the Carolinas. Great way to keep playing in the summer without travel commitment.
Summer league for high school players to keep reps up between school seasons. Open to all area HS players.
Pre-register for tryouts, attend the sessions for your grad year, and earn your spot on Team Carolina Elite, Select, or Futures for the Summer 2026 / Fall 2026 season.
