DENVER ELITE LACROSSE TEAMS
WHAT IS DENVER ELITE LACROSSE?
Denver Elite Lacrosse is a lacrosse club program run out of the University of Denver by Bill Tierney, Trevor Tierney and Matt Brown. DE consists of two youth teams and three high school teams that practice together and play in fall and summer tournaments. We also have DE youth box lacrosse teams that are picked from our youth winter indoor leagues. Those teams travel to indoor tournaments in Canada and California.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
Any boys' youth lacrosse player can take part in our program. High school players must live within a 50 mile radius of the University of Denver campus to be eligible to play on these teams.
WHAT MAKES THIS AN ELITE EXPERIENCE?
Players who tryout for Denver Elite will work with an amazing NCAA Division I college staff. Players will experience practices that are very close to the ones that the DU lacrosse program goes through. Denver Elite will consist of top class coaching from the Pioneers' staff including former Team USA and MLL All-Star goalie TREVOR TIERNEY and former MLL All- Star attackman MATT BROWN. Teams and practices will be overseen and planned by six time national champion and Hall of Fame lacrosse COACH BILL TIERNEY. For more information on our coaching staff, go to their bios on the staff button above in the navigation bar.
We believe that coaching is a much bigger job than just teaching the game of lacrosse. We want the experience that players have with DENVER ELITE to be one of the best athletic experiences that they ever have. We hope to shape them into great lacrosse players and that this also helps make them great young men off the field. Finally, we feel that this is a great way to bring our community together in a way that we all enjoy!
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT FOR AN ELITE LEVEL PLAYER?
Many of our players have dreams of continuing on to play lacrosse in college and we want to help them reach that dream. We will help out our families and players in any way that we can with the recruiting process. Our competitors tell people that we only care about the players that we are recruiting for DU, but in reality that is far from the truth. We want to help all of our players as much as we can and help them find a suitable home in college.
Denver Elite travels to the best tournaments in the fall and summer so that players get exposure to college coaches around the country. Also, due to the high level coaching staff, Denver Elite is a great way to improve your skill and knowledge of the game. Players will learn what coaches are looking for, what it takes to get recruited, and what they need to work on to be able to play at the top level in the game. If you want to play college lacrosse, then playing for Denver Elite is an important step to take in reaching that goal.
WHAT MAKES YOU DIFFERENT THAN OTHER CLUB TEAMS?
1. We are professional coaches, not a private company. We do this on a full time basis. Our track record with our NCAA DU team is proof itself in our ability to coach. We care about the game and the young men that we get to work with more than we care about surviving as a company.
2. Our kids and families love working with us! Check out our testimonials. People have a blast with our programs and we are always open to improving the experience.
3. We are the only team in Colorado that is a member of the NSCLA. The NSCLA is a non-profit group that is an association of all the best club teams in the country, including the Baltimore Crabs, the CNY Roadhawks, Long Island Express, Edge Lacrosse and many more!
