Our travel teams are based on a development system that helps players play as a team. Our players learn to play as a team vs. good players on a good team. College coaches want to see offensive and defensive systems and strategies while players showcase their individual abilities, skills and athleticism. We do not use the word "elite" in our Silverbacks or Tribe teams. The word is overused in youth and high school sports and puts undue pressure on the players. We want players who have a strong desire to learn, get better and aspire to play at a high level. Our teams may not have the word "elite" after them but the Silverbacks and Tribe names are nationally known on the club lacrosse tournament circuit and these teams play at a very high level because of our team based philosophy.
