Annual tuition is ~$3,895 for Elite (HS) (classes 2027–2031) and ~$3,495 for Elite (MS) (classes 2032–2033), both year-round. Select is ~$2,400 covering Fall and/or Summer for classes 2027–2033 (a la carte off-season). Futures is ~$595 per season for Fall and/or Summer for classes 2034–2037 (a la carte off-season). Both Elite bands train year-round under the same coaching staff; Elite (HS) reflects more out-of-region recruiting events. Elite and Select payment options: pay in full (5% off), 6-month plan (20% deposit + 6 monthly payments), or 12-month plan (30% deposit + 12 monthly payments). Futures is a single per-season payment. Travel, lodging, and family travel expenses are separate.
What’s the difference between Elite, Select, and Futures?
Elite is our highest-level, year-round program for classes 2027–2033 — 100+ hours of training a year, 5–8 field tournaments Fall/Summer, box training in Winter, full recruiting support, and events beyond our region. Select is competitive lacrosse on a seasonal Fall and/or Summer schedule with more regional events for classes 2027–2033 — also Charlotte-based, with a la carte off-season training. Futures is the foundation for classes 2034–2037 — local, Fall and/or Summer, with a la carte off-season training.
Can my son play on an all-star or national team too?
Yes — as long as it doesn’t conflict with Team Carolina programming, or has been communicated and agreed upon with the director and coaches ahead of time. Team Carolina must be a player’s priority unless he plays another sport. Our partner all-star program is SweetLax.
