Options for select lacrosse for any skill level are very abundant around the Ohio area now! While Columbus and Cincinnati have the most opportunities; the Dayton,Ohio area has a few options also. Club teams range from extremely competitive to less skilled (even within the same club). Club fees can range from $1000-$4000+ and all will travel. Some will travel from the east coast (lax central as I call it) to Colorado, Florida; and some will stay within the tri state area.
Some clubs are national meaning they have teams across the country while others will only have one or a few locations. Neither is better! Teams will be top 20 nationally ranked for one grade and possibly not the next grade.
How to decide.

Select Lacrosse
Start by really evaluating your child’s skill during the Spring season. Second determine how much traveling you can do during June/July as that’s the main season. They will usually also have a fall tournament too; but that is optional with some clubs. Keep in mind they will offer and expect you to attend fall/winter (one day a week)and summer (2–3 a week for a couple weeks)practices. Next ask around to his friends parents; having someone you know on the team can help a lot! Not only because they can have a friend before starting,but to car pool with. Although it’s not guaranteed they will be on the same team.
Find out when tryouts are. They will usually not all fall on the same day, but sometimes they do. The cost to tryout will usually be between $20-$40

True Lacrosse is a National lacrosse club. They offer a few levels of skill, entry is moderately competitive because of the many different levels of play they offer. They have clubs formed in both Cincy and Columbus (Columbus is more “experienced“ players in my opinion) which are close to equal distance from Dayton. Team options can be regional, state, and national level. All their coaches played or coach at a high level.
