Arkansas Elite Summer Ball
Welcome to Arkansas (LA) Elite Summer Ball! Our program is led by some of the BEST coaches in the region. Coach Billy LeClair, head coach of Centenary College, the ONLY NCAA lacrosse program in the state of Louisiana, Coach Garrett Faktor, assistant coach at Centenary College, Coach Steve Martino, current LHSLL Commissioner with 23+ years of lacrosse coaching experience, multiple assistant coaches, and multiple current Centenary College and Hendrix College NCAA players. We saw great success last year in our first year as a full summer and fall program, and look to build on that success heading into the Summer of 2024! Join us this summer for 4 weeks of Summer Ball where every player will have the opportunity to experience quality coaching, fun and exciting training and scrimmages with their friends, and 3 official weekend tournaments on the road!
Summer Practice Schedule
Beginning May 20, 2024, practices will be held three times per week for 4 weeks. Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:30pm until 8:30pm, with Mondays being training session days to work on positional skills for every player at every skill level, Tuesdays focused around team offense, defense and special teams, and Thursdays being full-field scrimmage days for the players to build chemistry amongst each other to prepare for the weekend tournaments. All players will travel down to Shreveport, LA, once a week, either Monday or Tuesday, to join all of the Louisiana players for a full team practice! All local practices will be held at Salt County's practice field. Our first week of practice will be a player assessment week to evaluate player skill level to determine which players belong on which team, High School A or High School B. Please remember that player experience will be the biggest deciding factor with decisions made regarding team placement.
Summer Tournament Schedule
All players signed up for Elite Summer Ball will have the opportunity to participate in 3 weekend tournaments in the month of June. These tournaments will be 2-day events, Saturday and Sunday, with at least 4-5 games guaranteed at each event. We highly encourage every player to participate in ALL three tournaments, but we understand that not every player will have the opportunity to make each one, so we will provide multiple options for those unable to attend all events. We do not believe in charging full price to those who cannot commit to all 4 weeks of the summer season. Summertime is busy for everyone, we get it! With that said, again, we HIGHLY encourage that all players participate in all 3 tournaments, we guarantee they will not regret it! Summer Lacrosse is FUN! **We understand that all events are back to back to back, but these were the only options within an 8 hour drive, so overall we believe this was the best possible plan for all of our families**
Please select the Tournaments you plan to attend:
*
Big Easy Classic: June 1-2 - Mandeville, LA
PrimeTime's Texas Brawl: June 8-9 - Fort Worth, TX
Texas 2-Step: June 15-16 - Plano, TX
Payment/Cost Breakdown:
As a travel/club lacrosse program we pride ourselves on being fairly priced and inclusive to ALL families looking to participate. With years of club lacrosse experience from all Elite coaches and directors, we have seen many families priced out of summer lacrosse, and that is a huge part of WHY we started this program. We believe in every player being able to participate, that is how you truly grow the game. Coming together as experienced coaches and parents, we came up with the most fairly-priced options that we believe will allow ALL interested players access to our Summer Ball experience. ALL payment options include: 12 practices, reversible summer ball jersey, white Elite shooter shirt, tournament registration fees, coach travel costs, field rentals, balls, and more. Please see options below.
Please select payment plan based on total number of Tournaments you are able to attend:
