Boulder Select

Boulder Lacrosse organizes top-level spring teams at the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade levels known as "Boulder Select." These teams will play in the appropriate competitive divisions of the Arapahoe Youth Lacrosse league. Tryouts for Boulder Select teams are held annually in late October, to determine rosters for the subsequent spring season. These teams will be led by coaches with significant coaching and playing experience.

The Select team is considered the top team at its grade level, but we anticipate fielding multiple teams at each grade level for the spring season. Players are not required to participate in Select tryouts in order to be placed on a spring team- simply register a player for our Spring League after registration opens on January 1st, and he will be placed on the appropriate team for his grade and experience level.

Tryouts for our Boulder Select spring 2025 teams will be held on Sunday October 20th, 2024. Players MUST participate in the tryout in order to be considered for a 6th, 7th, or 7th grade Select team- there are no alternative tryout options.

6th grade: 900am-1100am

7th grade: 1115am-100pm

8th grade: 115pm-300pm

Advanced boys players in grades 6-8

Select early season practices will begin the week of March 3rd. Select teams will participate in the preseason King of the Rock tournament in Castle Rock, on Sunday March 9th.

The regular season practice schedule for Select teams will begin the week of March 10th, after Daylight Savings kicks in.

Select teams will practice 3 weeknights per week.
