OVERVIEW
West Chester Lacrosse Association has its own girl's club team- the WC Patriots. The Patriots focus on four main pillars: community, location, value, and most importantly, competitiveness. All practices will be at local sites, including Kelly Field and WCASD high school fields. When entering tournaments, the club considers the difficulties of travel and selects tournaments that are easily accessible from our area, cutting down on the exorbitant costs other clubs place on families. Our strength as a community is key. WCLA has grown into the premier lacrosse program in the area in both size and talent. Keeping these girls together in both rec and club will create the continuity needed to dominate in years to come. Bottom line: WC Patriots is the best club option for our WCLA players...and the future is bright for WC Patriot Lacrosse.
THE PROGRAMS
Patriots Prep
Patriots Prep is a club program for rising 4th graders (graduation year 2029). The Prep program will provide year-round training with an understanding that at this age, kids should be well-rounded and involved in many activities. Patriots Prep will be broken into three 8 week sessions: early fall, late winter, and early summer. There will be one or two practices a week and three total tournaments. The girls will separately register to play in the 3/4 WCLA rec program, but they will be getting the year-round training necessary to develop as club level players. The expectation is that the Patriot Prep players will stay together to form the nucleus of the Patriot 2029 team the following year.
Patriots Club Team
This past year, the Patriots fielded a 2026 team (made up of 2026’s and 2027’s) and a 2024 team (made up of 2024’s and 2025’s). This season we project to have five teams by graduation year (2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028) plus our prep program. With an emphasis on community, the hope is our dedicated rec players will transition right into the Patriots program. The Patriot’s club season will be split into three sessions: early fall, late winter, and early summer. There will be one or two practices per week with a total of four or five tournaments depending on the graduation year. The girls will continue to play in the 5/6 A and B and 7/8 A and B WCLA rec program. The Patriots club program is designed to be competitive with a goal of fielding a team that can compete at a superior level. Top-notch paid coaching coupled with the continuity of the girls playing year-round lacrosse in both rec and club will allow the Patriots to grow together and be recognized as an elite and dominant club program.
