LACROSSE CLUBS IN LOS ANGELES
Other club programs prioritize winning over well-being
We've seen this approach leave athletes feeling insecure, unsupported, and disconnected from their coaches.
We believe every young female athlete deserves a competitive experience that makes her more confident, not less. We started LA Select because we lived the transformation that club lacrosse can create when it is done right, and we believe every girl in Los Angeles deserves access to that same experience.

WE BELIEVE
You don't have to choose between getting recruited and truly enjoying your club lacrosse years.
At LA Select, skill development, sisterhood, and best-fit recruiting guidance do not compete with each other - they build each other.
You deserve a team culture of belonging, accountability, and genuine care, because when every player is developed and valued equally - We truly win.

BEST GIRLS LACROSSE HEADS IN LOS ANGELES
Built by Players. Led by Women. Rooted in Los Angeles.
The Most Powerful Teams Are Built on Trust, Not Fear.
We provide premier girls' club lacrosse with community-driven coaching and individualized athlete development.
Club lacrosse should feel like something you are proud to be a part of - not something that makes you feel left to fend for yourself. At LA Select, we build competitive teams rooted in real relationships, real development, and real accountability. Our coaches played the sport at the highest level, and they are here because they care about you and our community — not just your highlight reel. Come as you are, work hard, and watch what happens.
Led by women who all played at the collegiate level, LA Select takes a grounded, relationship-first approach - developing athletes from the inside out with consistent coaching, open communication, and a genuine investment in every player on the roster.
No one gets left behind. No one is forgotten.

HOW IT WORKS
Step 1
JOIN THE WAITLIST
Tryouts are held every August. Sign up and you'll be first to know when registration opens — plus we'll send you exactly what we look for on the field.
Step 2
COME TRY OUT
One session. Bring your effort — that's the thing we can't coach, and the thing we care about most. We'll evaluate your skills and find where you fit in the program.
Step 3
BECOME AN LA SELECT ATHLETE
We are careful to select our team and place players where we think they'll be able to grow and shine. Once you're placed, you'll learn, compete, and most importantly belong.
