Congratulations to Birmingham Alumni & Friends 2003 Elite Champions......
Summer Elite Division flyer/registration) 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 200 players in the state.   Each team is already identified.  Please note that there are only 200 spots allocated.  At this time we have room for 14 more players.  Check out our 2002 Program, or 2001 Program for examples of past sessions.
Men's Elite Division 2003
FYI...
Men's Rec Division (web page, flyer/registration) is for adult players who are past their prime or not quite there yet.  This is a recreational league that does not have the competitive nature of any 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!
Philosophy
Champion Lacrosse Summer League is a premiere lacrosse experience on the stadium turf at Seaholm High School.  Our philosophy is to create an unparalleled lacrosse experience that includes top competition in an outstanding environment.

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.  

Important Details
All participants will submit a refundable jersey deposit.  At the conclusion of the season, we will collect jerseys and refund deposits. Motor City and Great Lakes team members will be using their own jerseys - Do not send a jersey deposit if you are on those squads only.

We will send roster confirmation and schedules to your email address, and they will also be posted on www.championlacrosse.com Check the web often!
