ABOUT TEAM CAROLINA

Team Carolina represents the very best in competitive lacrosse, guided by our exceptional coaching staff. Our coaches, boasting current and former college and high school coaching experience, and all with college playing backgrounds, are the finest in the region, dedicated to developing athletes into leaders on and off the field. Our local roots and personal approach to coaching set us apart from all of the corporate-run clubs in Charlotte - we are proud to be the only locally owned and operated club in the region.

Our innovative training methodology, emphasizing maximizing touches, high-energy, college-style practices, and comprehensive development, sets our athletes apart. In partnership with Mabry Academy, we offer weekly mental performance training to enhance cognitive abilities, stress management, and overall mental resilience, believing firmly that mental prowess is as crucial as physical training.

Athletically, we're partnered with top organizations like Performance Unlimited, Roe Pro, and Carolina Factory to provide unparalleled speed and strength training options. Our commitment to lacrosse development, athletic growth, leadership skills, and mental performance underlines our mission to not just create top athletes but well-rounded individuals ready for any challenge.

As a testament to our success, nearly 400 boys and girls have advanced to play at the next level, thanks to our comprehensive approach to recruiting and development, led by our dedicated staff. We don't just aim to develop top lacrosse players; we aim to cultivate leaders who excel when it matters most.

BY THE NUMBERS:

  • Nearly THREE HUNDRED Team Carolina Alumni have gone off to play at the NCAA Division I, II and III levels

  • Over TWO DECADES Spent Growing the Game in the Carolinas

  • OVER SIXTY YEARS of Combined College Coaching Experience Between Our Entire Coaching Staff

  • ELEVEN Current and Former College Coaches on Staff

2028 YEARLY OVERVIEW
FALL 2024 - SUMMER 2025

At Team Carolina, we are dedicated to the long-term success and development of all of our athletes. Once an athlete enters our High School Program, we are committed to them throughout their entire high school careers. This allows us to focus on every athlete’s specific developmental journey and optimizes our ability to help them get recruited and play at the college level. We are grateful for the trust you have placed in our entire organization over the past seasons to develop and mentor your son and want to continue to do so until they cross the finish line.

Once the travel season nears the end in the Summer, our high school athletes can seamlessly join us again for the following year (Fall 2024 - Summer 2025). We still encourage all returning members to attend our tryouts to help gauge the level of play of prospective players.

We will continue to hold tryouts in the Summer as an opportunity to identify additional talented players who can elevate the experience and level of play of the entire class. Our goal is to have the opportunity to train and develop all of the best players in the Carolinas and prepare them for the next level.

TRAINING & TOURNAMENT MODEL

All of our Team Carolina Athletes will train as a class (Class of 2028) throughout the year to emulate the high school and college environment. Every class will have a staff of 5-6 coaches dedicated to overseeing their success and development for the entire year.

This class will eventually be divided up into two teams in preparation for Fall/Winter tournament play:

  • 2028 Elite Black and 2028 Elite Red

While the entire class will continue to train together, teams will attend different tournaments based on what will be the best fit for the players from a recruiting exposure perspective, level of play and availability. Players may be moved between the teams at the coaching staff’s discretion at any point in time.

RE-EVALUATION PERIODS

We know that every player’s developmental path is unique and hit their strides at different points of their high school careers. After the Spring High School season, we will hold a Team Camp in early May to properly assess every single player. Based on their performance at Camp and the Spring season, players may (or may not) be moved onto an Elite Black or Elite Red team. No matter what, all teams will train together under the supervision of our incredible coaching staff and compete at the highest level tournaments for exposure.
