What is Premier West Lacrosse?
Premier West Lacrosse is an elite regional boys’ club lacrosse program that brings top players from across the West together for coaching and tournament competition. Players from every club are welcome to express interest. Rosters are selected by invitation, with a focus on ability, commitment, and character.
Who can express interest?
Top players from any club across the West are welcome to express interest. You do not need to play for a partner club to be considered. We are currently gauging interest for The Challenge from boys in the 2030, 2031, 2032, and 2033 graduation classes.
Where do players come from?
Premier West welcomes top players from across the western region. Your current club and hometown are part of your story; your game, commitment, and character are what you bring to this team.
How does selection work?
Complete the player-interest form with your playing background, current club, graduation year, and highlight film when available. The coaching staff uses player information and evaluation to consider invitations. Interest is not a roster commitment, and submitting the form does not guarantee selection.
Are you gauging interest for The Challenge?
Yes. We are gauging player interest for The Challenge in Oceanside, California, January 9–10, 2027, for boys in the 2030–2033 graduation classes. Submit the player-interest form to let us know you want to play. Team participation and roster spots are not yet confirmed.
