Frequently Asked Questions

315 Elite is an organization dedicated to helping youth and high school lacrosse players achieve the next level of lacrosse, and to prepare high school athletes to play lacrosse in college. 315 Elite is for those youth athletes that want additional practice and play all year and for high school athletes that want to develop and play competitively in the off season towards the goal of playing college lacrosse.

Each team will roster 20 players in each year of graduation. Players are chosen based on skill level, athleticism and attitude. We encourage players to attend both try out dates as it will only help our evaluators to recognize your talents. Only one try out is required, but if legitimate conflicts arise and a player cannot make any of the scheduled try outs. 315 Elite players must try out every year. As new players try out the competition changes and each advancing grade year requires that player have reached the next skill level. Players must challenge themselves to improve each year.

315 Elite encourages players to participate in all practices and attend as many tournaments as possible. We recognize that most of our athletes play several sports, participate in a myriad of extracurricular activities, are honor roll students and have family commitments; and while there is no attendance taken or tournaments required, those athletes that are committed and that can give one hundred percent in all that they do, will be chosen for the top teams. 

We typically practice on Sundays in the fall, Saturday or Sunday in the winter, Sundays in the spring for youth only, and some weekdays in the summer. See the tentative tournament schedule below. 

The 315 Elite team fee is applied to the costs of uniforms, equipment, field rentals, practices, tournaments, and administrative expenses. Typical yearly fees generally range between $1800.00 and $3000.00, depending on the team.  There are no refunds of team fees.  We offer a 50/50 payment structure as well as a discount for full pre-payment and a sibling discount.   

White Teams compete at higher level tournaments with more travel required. Green Teams play in less tournaments with less travel. Both teams require a full year commitment.

315 Elite is very involved with the recruiting process.  Many conversations happen frequently with college coaches both on the phone and in between games at tournaments.  315 Elite offers individual recruiting meetings twice a year with our program director. While 315 Elite is involved in the recruiting process, college coaches have emphasized the importance of having conversations directly with prospective student athlete, not their parents or coaches. All High School Players receive an IWLCA Sportsrecruit Pro Account.

Many 315 Elite players continue their lacrosse careers at the collegiate level.  With hundreds of schools offering the opportunity to play lacrosse in college, there is generally a fit, academically and athletically, for any of our athletes interested in pursuing the next level of lacrosse.
