Denver Elite Field

The Denver Elite field lacrosse program, powered by LXTC, is one of the top club associations in the country. Denver Elite is a member of the NLF, which is comprised of other premier club teams from all over the country. The Denver Elite experience is focused on athletic and skill development, personal growth, fun and support in the college search and recruiting process. Both the youth and high school teams experience intense college-level practices and play in local and travel tournaments against top competition throughout North America. Playing on Denver Elite is one of the greatest experiences that a young athlete will have in his sports career.

For the 2026 calendar year, Denver Elite will continue our single tryout model, through which players will be invited to participate on both summer and fall teams for the year. 

In other words, summer team players in graduation years 2027- 2035 will automatically be included on a fall team and expected to compete in that season as well. Very limited exceptions to the new policy may be granted upon advance request, specifically for fall scholastic sport participation or boarding school attendance. 

Tryouts for our summer 2026 Denver Elite teams will be held December 15th-18th at the University of Denver. Tryout registration will open on this page soon.

Monday December 15th & Wednesday December 17th: 2031-2035 teams

Tuesday December 16th & Thursday December 18th: 2027-2030 teams

Team practices will be held either Monday & Wednesday evenings, or Tuesday & Thursday evenings, at the University of Denver. Practices will begin at the end of May and will run through mid- to late July. We will email team members with the practice schedule after it is confirmed by the University.

Denver Elite belongs to the National Lacrosse Federation, which represents the pinnacle of club lacrosse in the United States.

The NLF has partnered with USA Lacrosse, to provide age guidelines for premier boys lacrosse clubs like ours to follow. These guidelines will help to insure a more level playing field in youth lacrosse, as they become widely adopted by clubs and tournaments.

Use the chart above to determine the appropriate youth Denver Elite team for which your son should try out. For players with June, July, or August birthdays, we recommend that they continue to try out with their natural graduation year team.

*Guidelines apply to graduation years 2031 and below only.
