TOP Lacrosse Club
Durham's Newest Lacrosse Club
TOP Lacrosse is Durham Region's newest field lacrosse program, offering competitive and recreational programs for boys and girls to learn, grow, and excel in the sport of lacrosse. Our programs feature dedicated and professional coaching staff, premier facilities, and a proven curriculum focused on skill development and game-based learning through our Play · Teach · Compete Model. Starting with our youngest players in Junior Lax and continuing into our Sixes League and eventually Competitive teams, we create a pathway for every player to improve their skills, love the game, and develop leadership both on and off the field.
Our primary goal at TOP Lacrosse is to provide each player with a challenging development environment to improve their skills, learn the game, and eventually open post-secondary lacrosse opportunities. All TOP Lacrosse programs feature qualified professional non-parent coaches supported by full-time Technical Staff and a full-time administrative team. Our programs in Durham are hosted at Trafalgar Castle School, meaning more time on the field and less time in the car.
Our Multi-Sport Model ensures that the TOP Lacrosse schedule fits seamlessly into a well-rounded athletic experience alongside TOP Hockey and TOP Soccer. The TOP Lacrosse schedule is designed to minimize conflicts with TOP Hockey and TOP Soccer programs during the same season, allowing kids to play at the recreational or competitive level with very few scheduling conflicts throughout the season.
