Boulder Elite

Over the past few months, many of you have asked us to create a true local club lacrosse option for northern Colorado boys. We explored building a brand-new club from scratch with the families, coaches, and talent here.

But we realized there was an even better way forward when we stepped back.

Instead of going alone, we’re launching Boulder Elite, which is a direct partnership between LXTC Lacrosse and Matt Kelley, head boys lacrosse coach at Fairview High School and founder of Foothills Pack girls club lacrosse program, alongside his business partner and co-director of the Foothills Pack, Brad MacHamer.

This partnership gives Northern Colorado players the best of both worlds:

• A local home base with Northern Colorado teammates and coaches
• Direct alignment with Denver Elite’s proven systems
• Access to top coaching expertise from DU/Matt Brown, LXTC, and Boulder-area high schools
• A consistent style of play from 3rd grade through high school
• A clear path to the highest levels of competition without leaving Boulder behind

This isn’t about replacing anything offered by the local recreation teams. It’s about elevating and enhancing lacrosse in Northern Colorado by working with what is already in place.

We’re starting smart—with a focus on development, alignment, and culture before full-throttle tournament seasons.

• Boulder-based practices
• At least one tournament this fall
• 2026 tryouts after the fall session
• Supplemental LXTC programming (box, skills training, specialty training)
• Local rec & club system integration
• Coach training directly from Matt Brown, LXTC, and top HS staff
• Strength, speed, and mindset training

This fall is about chemistry, coaching alignment, and laying a long-term foundation.

As players grow and enter high school, they’ll have the opportunity to try out for the top teams within the shared Boulder Elite / Denver Elite ecosystem:

• Top players → major national recruiting events with Denver Elite
• Developing players → continued growth through Boulder Elite in regional and competitive recruiting tournaments

Every player has a place to grow. Every player knows what they’re working toward. And no one gets left behind.

• Community-based teams — future HS teammates, playing together early
• Minimal travel — less I-25, which leaves more time for wall ball and family time.
• Aligned coaching — DU, LXTC, and HS coaches training our local coaches
• Honest recruiting guidance — no hype, just progress and opportunity
• A long-term vision — from 3rd grade through high school and beyond

As we move toward full launch, we’ll be sharing more details soon on:

• Registration
• Fall schedule
• Tryouts
• Fall + winter opportunities
• Summer 2026 plans

For now, know that we're building Boulder Elite the right way.

Not with flash. Not with hype.

But with community, development, and alignment.
