AA and A-level teams at every grade, U8 through senior year of high school
Under the leadership of former Illinois Wesleyan University Head Coach Grainne Kelly, the East Ave girls travel program has surged into one of the premier programs in the region, highlighted by one of the strongest and largest youth pipelines in the Midwest.
East Ave operates the largest and most comprehensive community affiliate program in the state of Illinois. Affiliates enjoy year-round instruction for boys and girls ages 3–14 from our East Ave travel coaches through camps, clinics, leagues and rec teams in their own backyard.
We're proud to call the Naperville Lacrosse Arena and the Elmhurst Lacrosse Facility our year-round homes. The Naperville Lacrosse Arena is a 26,000 square foot two-turf facility featuring a regulation-sized box lacrosse floor plus a dedicated secondary training turf. The Elmhurst Lacrosse Facility offers 11,000 square feet, including space for film, chalk talk and team meetings, along with 8,000 square feet of turf for focused skills training.
