About Team 91 South: The Team 91 South program was created to give the best players in the Southeast an opportunity to train and compete together against the best teams at the best events in the country. On the field, players in the Team 91 South program will receive the highest level of exposure, instruction and development. Off the field, players will create friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.
In 2023/2024, the Team 91 South program is open to players from any club program. However, the best way to avoid scheduling issues and create the best experience possible is to play for a Team 91 program or a Charleston Elite program. A player's primary club program will be factored in to the evaluation process due to the potential scheduling conflicts or other conflicts of interest.
Team 91 South will field teams at the 2025-2031 graduation years. When appropriate, Team 91 South will field two teams at each age. Each team will attend events that are appropriate for their competitive level.
Age Verification:
On May 24th, the National Lacrosse Federation (NLF) and USA Lacrosse announced that they have entered into a transformational partnership that will bring age verification to the boys’ club lacrosse landscape. As a Team 91 South player you are thereby a participating player within NLF events which will be require all players to play under these new rulings beginning in the Fall of 2023.
For the 2023-24 club year, in graduation years 2029, 2030 and 2031, the NLF has chosen to implement a 15-month timeframe (June 1 birthdate through August 31 of the following year) for its age groupings. The NLF clubs are expected to continue using graduation years as the team names, but all players will fit within the 15-month groupings. This will help minimize team roster disruptions and to incentivize classmates playing together.
Please review the table to the below to help determine where your player lands grad year wise in order to ensure that you are registering them for the correct tryout and potential team roster.
