Team Carolina Lacrosse Mission

Team Carolina is a non-profit organization created to give the best players in the region the opportunity to play with the best players in the state against the best competition in the nation’s top recruiting tournaments.

Our mission is to Identify the top underclass lacrosse players in the state and provide an opportunity for them to play together at the end of each summer. Team Carolina is not a recruiting service, we are not a business and we are not an all-star team. We are simply a chance for the best players in the state to play together. Anyone who has ever competed at a high level understands that the best athletes, in any sport, enjoy the opportunity to play with the best players and against the best competition they can find. This process not only improves their individual skills and understanding of the game, but allows players, coaches and families the occasion to develop friendships and an appreciation for lacrosse in other parts of the state and the country.  Team Carolina Lacrosse is a by-product of the work of youth, middle school, select teams, high school and college coaches in North Carolina.

Recruiting: While Team Carolina is not considered to be a recruiting service, we have and will help any athlete in the state throughout the recruiting process. In addition, we prepare our website and media guide to be accessible to college coaches as we promote the Team Carolina athletes. Business: Team Carolina is not a business; it is a non-profit organization. Team Carolina spends thousands of dollars over and above the fees we collect to promote the team, its players and our program. Additionally, the gear the players receive is not donated, it is purchased. All-Star Team: While Team Carolina strives to gather the best talent the state of North Carolina has to offer, we are not an all-star team. Team Carolina promotes fundamentally sound lacrosse, institutes on and off field team building concepts, and expects its players to respond to instruction. While we optimize the opportunities for players to showcase their talents, Team Carolina members should embody the “team first” attitude.
