TOP Lacrosse Club

Prep Program

USA Recruiting Teams

Starting in 2026, TOP Lacrosse will be launching a Prep Program geared towards highschool players in grades 9/10 and 11/12. The goal of the Prep Program is to provide a high-level training and NCAA exposure for competitive players outside of their normal high school, varsity, or club programs. The Prep Program will run from January to October each year and include indoor winter practices, outdoor spring & fall sessions, and 4-5 USA tournaments during June, July, and September. The Prep Program will be offered in two formats depending on the age of the players;

  • Prep Teams: offered for 2029/2030 grads, this package includes year-round training once per week, 4-5 USA recruiting tournaments, NCAA campus tours, academic support, and more. This program will run from early-January to the end of October with a month-long break in August.

  • Training Program: offered for 2027-2030 grad years, this package includes weekly training sessions on Sundays at St. Mike’s College School and De La Salle College, providing a flexible commitment for high-level players looking for extra training on top of their Varsity, JV, or OLA seasons. This program will run from early January to late June with no sessions during July & August. This program is training-only, there are no tournaments or games.

Team Selection: For the Prep Teams, tryouts will take place in January 2026 for the following Outdoor season. Teams will be selected based on previous playing experience, skill level, and position fit. In the event there are enough players to form multiple teams we will create tiered teams (A/B).
