FAQs

Who is the Top Left Nationals Lacrosse Club for?      
The club is open to advanced boys and girls players who are looking for exposure to college coaches and support through the recruiting process. Players receive comprehensive and quality recruiting support, along with opportunities to compete at some of the nation’s top events. For the 2024 year, we are offering teams for Boys and Girls in Grad Years 2025-2028 (varies). Top Left Nationals scheduling and programming is designed to be complimentary to player’s local/regional club programs.

Why play for Top Left Nationals?         
Top Left Nationals is committed to supporting and developing our players on and off the field by providing a quality resource to players in our region who aspire to play in college. Our Club Leadership is a dedicated team of experienced professionals, with understanding and insight into all aspects of the sport. We offer a comprehensive service to players, covering all facets of the recruiting process while focusing on “right fit” development, and allowing for each team to enjoy an incredible shared experience. Our program is designed to maximize the times we’re on the field together and amplify the opportunities and exposure for each player. Annual membership includes detailed recruiting support and services for players and parents, access to top national tournaments, game film for all games, training from professional Mens and Womens players and coaches, a culture of positivity and fun, and much more!

When is the deadline to register?         
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, which are followed by official invitations, until teams are full. The first rounds of official invitations for 2024 will be sent in late January, and we expect final rosters will be determined by early spring. Early registration is encouraged if you wish to be included.

How do you determine rosters?
This determination is made by our Club Directors and Coaches, and every case is different. This is not a traditional club program. Typically, players who are new to our program are recommended by their local Club Director or high school team’s coach - but anyone is welcome to apply. Tournament rosters are capped by position and overall number in order to ensure quality play time for each player (on field game play decisions are ultimately decided by team coaches). We presume that everyone who submits an application intends on the full playing calendar for their team. The teams intentionally have a relatively low overall time commitment and while our hope is that every player in our program can commit to the full annual calendar, we do ultimately work with each family on a case by case basis and understand that sometimes conflicts arise. Players who are accepted into the program with Annual Membership are not necessarily invited to every tournament on their team’s schedule - each tournament is considered an add-on.

What is SportsRecruits and what are the benefits?
SportsRecruits is the partner recruiting platform of the IWLCA and IMLCA. This makes it the most used recruiting resource for Mens and Womens college coaches, and the platform is a powerful recruiting tool for our club. Individual player profiles allow our athletes to share film, post transcripts, direct message college coaches, and more. As a benefit of our club partnership with SportsRecruits, families will also receive consistent support materials and communication regarding recruiting services available to them.

How much are player dues?
Annual Club Membership Dues are $700 per player (this does not include tournament fees). A full dues breakdown is sent to players in their acceptance notification. Scholarship opportunities are available to players who qualify. For more information please contact Club Directors.

Where can I get Top Left Nationals swag?
