Each game is played on the main stadium field, under the lights, using the scoreboard, table personnel, registered officials and a game announcer.  Weekly statistics and pictures will be tracked and published on our web site.  This is THE summer league you’ve heard about.

2003 Elite League Results
  Elite Registration Process - Note Very Few Spots Remain at This Time















What if the Elite Level is not for me...
Men's Rec Division
(registration) (last year's league, 2003) is an option for adult players who are not interested in the Elite league.  New for '05, the men's rec. division will feature two leagues: Over 30(ish) and Under 30(ish).  These leagues do not have the same competitive nature of  the other Champion Lacrosse Summer Leagues.  Games will take place on Monday evenings, and this league is open to men who are looking for some fun with a weekly 60 min. work-out.  There is no body checking in the Over 30 level.

Step 2.
Each team (captain) will put together their own initial rosters.  However, each player must register individually to participate.  You are not on a roster until you have paid.
All rosters will be filled to 25 players.  Our experience shows that this number is required to have great competition each week.
If you are not associated with one of the established groups, you don't need to email anyone.  Simply register as a "House" player.  Champion will organize the house players.
If you are a representative of a team or group that is not listed above, and you would like to be added to the summer league, please call us at (248) 255-1287 or email us.

Playoff Bracket
Summer Elite Division is the flagship of our summer leagues.  This is a very competitive division that is open exclusively to proven elite level current and former college and club players.  This league is not intended for new or intermediate lacrosse players.  We are looking for the best 240 players in the state.   Each team is already identified.  Please note that there are only 240 spots allocated.    Very few spots remain open, if you want to participate, you should register online right now. Check out last year's elite league, 20032002, or 2001 for examples of past sessions.  For general information about all of the Summer 2005 programs, click here.
Schedule Details - The Elite division is made up of 10 teams this season.  Based on last year's results, the teams were placed into two divisions for regular season seeding purposes (new teams were added to the bottom).  Group A contains the teams who finished 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th.  Group B contains 2nd, 4th, 6th place finishers.  During the regular season, each team plays the other 4 in their division along with one cross-over to create a divisional ranking.  On August 2nd and 3rd, we will begin a playoff based on the seeding.  The quarter-final and semi-final schedule (and pairing detail) is below the regular schedule / statistics frame.
