If you are looking for additional opportunities outside of the Eden Prairie Lacrosse Association, the Twin Cities is home to several opportunities including clinics and club lacrosse teams that occur year-round, many of which also provide opportunities to play outside of Minnesota.
Club teams are structured to allow players to play both the club team and their local associations, so players can stay connected to their local communities.
EPLA does not endorse any specific organization; however, for your convenience, here is an alphabetical listing of teams and opportunities.
Most teams have tryouts in late summer/early fall. Some do winter or spring tryouts too. If you miss the tryout timeframe, many allow in-season evaluations. Reach out to each organization separately for more details.
