We will be hosting two camps this summer for players of all ages and skill levels. One of our goals at Bellevue is to promote the growth of lacrosse across the Pacific Northwest and the West Coast. In order to achieve this goal we will be bringing in some of the top professional players in the world this summer to coach our camps. We are very excited to be featuring coaches who have experience at the highest levels of the game: PLL, NLL, International & NCAA. Bellevue camps are open to players from all programs, as we strive to provide the best instructional coaching to every young player in the area. Our camps will have a strong focus on the fundamentals of lacrosse with an emphasis on growth, creativity & fun. We would love to see your program represented at our camps this summer!

Our 7/8 program becomes more competitive and we field two teams: A (blue) and B (gold) team.
7/8 Blue: Traditionally the 7/8 Blue team competes in a few tournaments after the regular GELL season ends on Memorial Day weekend. This year we will be competing in two local tournaments (Solstice and Harvey Cup) and a travel tournament at the end of June. This year we will be playing at the Liberty Rising 2024 Philly tournament June 29th and 30th. There will be practices leading up to these tournaments.
By accepting a Blue team roster spot, you are committing to attending Solstice, Harvey, and the 2024 Philly Tournament at the end of the season. You will receive an invoice for a non refundable deposit covering hotels rooms, lunches, dinners, tournament and coaching fees for Philly. We will share plans for air and ground travel and chaperones once registration closes, but our intent is to be flexible, allowing families to participate in the experience. If you have a conflict that restricts your player from committing to the travel trip, you must discuss and resolve the conflict with Program Director Andy Matthews before completing this registration. Scholarships are available for both spring and summer events. Email finance@bellevuelacrosse.com for more information.
7/8 practices will be three times a week with GELL games on Saturdays. Practices will begin early February. The exact dates and times of practices and games are still TBD.
5/6 practices will be twice a week, usually Tuesdays and Thursdays with GELL games on Saturdays. Practices will begin late February.
We aim to send one 5/6 Wolverine team to the Harvey Cup and Summer Solstice Tournaments locally. These two tournaments will be the first two weekends of June respectively.
We aim to send one 3/4 Wolverine team to the Harvey Cup and Summer Solstice Tournaments locally. These two tournaments will be the first two weekends of June respectively.
