IAS Select Lacrosse

Words of Praise

"I would like to thank you and your courteous staff for making our family's college recruiting experience, one of the most fulfilling things that I have gone through. Your clear direction, concise leadership and overly cordial nature made this process of searching for a college seem almost simple for me, his father... Colleges lined up to recruit Tim, and thankfully, you and your staff were there every step of the way, answering every question and giving advice as needed." - Shawn, IAS Select Parent

Evaluations can also be scheduled during IAS League and Tournament dates.

Our mission is to provide boys and girls the opportunity to compete in lacrosse while developing their skills, confidence, and experience. We work with every player to help them meet their personal goals. We provide the tools, experience, and exposure they need to play at the collegiate level of their choice. While our teams are very competitive, our primary focus is on the skill and character development of our players.

Not every player is destined for Syracuse or Virginia. Understanding that, we work with our players to help them achieve success at every level. By providing our teams with high level competition our players will develop the skills and confidence that will make them standouts at any level.

The IAS Select Lacrosse program has players of all ages participating from all over the country. IAS Select affiliates with other Select and Elite programs at different times in order to permit more opportunities for our players. Teams are for boys & girls, men & women, depending on the event. Players are invited to participate in this program through recommendations or by having been seen and met by the IAS staff. The main criteria are that a player desires a higher level of competition, is a team player, and wants to learn. Players are informed of various events and can choose according to their schedule and budget. The Select teams operate in the summer, fall and winter, traveling to different venues that offer superb levels of competitions. Players gain experience and exposure that hopefully helps them take their game to the next level. Most importantly our staff works year round to promote our players and work with each family on an individual basis to provide guidance through the entire college recruitment and admissions process.

As you look toward college, and think about which travel to play for over the summer, it is important to do Due Diligence and ask questions. Sometimes programs that appear to be a great bargain, actually cost more in the end. You want to be sure you know what you are getting.
IAS Select has been around for a long time, and is one of the few to offer both payment plans and outright scholarships through the non-profit Sports for Life Foundation. No player is ever turned away for financial reasons. While the cost is relatively low compared to many club teams, the IAS offers tremendous value added. IAS also offers Men's and Women's tournament teams to play on once a player moves on from the high school team.

We follow the philosophy that player development in the off-season is the most important aspect of playing with a travel team, not just winning. ALL players are encouraged to excel, and ALL players get equal playing time. We also believe that college choices need to be about college first, lacrosse second. Players need to ask "If I was not playing lacrosse, would I want to be at this school?" We strive to help you find the right college, and the right college program, regardless of whether you want DI, DII, DIII, JUCO or Club. We advocate for you!

I hope that you will consider joining IAS Select!
