Western Select Lacrosse was started in 2021 to provide a local tournament team option for talented girls lacrosse players from the mountain west region. 

Western Select provides girls who love lacrosse a chance to improve and grow in this sport through competitive and enriching lacrosse experiences.  The program attracts players not only from the mountain west states, but from across the nation. Unlike many elite lacrosse clubs, Western Select supports and encourages its players to participate in multiple sports and activities in addition to lacrosse while also maintaining success in the classroom. The benefits of participation in multiple sports and activities is confirmed by many collegiate coaches, athletic trainers, and health care professionals. Western Select also prides itself on keeping costs to the bare minimum and offering need-based scholarships so that all players are financially able to participate. Western is committed to promoting its players and assisting any interested players with the college selection and recruiting process.

The 2021-2022 inaugural team was comprised of 19 middle school players from Wyoming and Idaho.  All players were multi-sport athletes and high achievers in school.  The inaugural team maintained an average GPA of 3.8 with over 88% of its players achieving a 4.0 GPA or higher. In the summer of 2022, the team, consisting of 2026, 2027 & 2028 players, competed in the 14U division of the USA Lacrosse youth festival held in conjunction with the Women’s Lacrosse World Championship Games in Towson, Maryland.  In its national & international debut, the team finished 7th out of sixteen 2026 teams from around the US, Italy, and Canada, including many decisive wins and a hard-fought 8-4 loss against the division champion and veteran New Jersey lacrosse club, CLC.  This inaugural team proved that players from the mountain west regions can compete among the best.  

Western continues to grow as the sport of lacrosse grows in the mountain west and surrounding regions. The 2023 Summer Tournament Team includes players from six different states and its coaching staff includes experienced coaches from four different states. All players selected for the club are multi-sport, high-achieving student-athletes. The 2023 Summer Squad’s average GPA was 3.9 and many players consistently maintain a 4.0 GPA while taking honors classes and/or classes above their grade level. Western’s teams consist of World-Ranked Athletes, Junior Olympians, All-Stars, Grand Champions, Student Leaders, Team Captains, Bi-Lingual Students, All-Tournament Team selections, “Players to Watch,” Sponsored Athletes, Extreme Athletes, and, most importantly, all-around nice kids with amazing families. Based on the club’s continued success against nationally-ranked teams, Western’s 2023 14U Summer Tournament Team was one of only twenty total 2027 teams from across the country invited to compete in the 14U division of the USA Lacrosse Youth Nationals Tournament held in Delaware on July 11-12, 2023.
