About Team 180

According to their website, Team 180 is the premier girls’ lacrosse club in Colorado.  They  represent the best athletes in grades 1-12, from Front Range communities, including Denver, Fort Collins, Boulder and Colorado Springs.  Having helped over 70 athletes get into NCAA collegiate programs, Team 180 Sports is the state’s top recruiting club for girls lacrosse.

Team 180 Lacrosse starts their training with ’180 Minis’, for 1st through 5th grade girls, where they teach the fundamentals of the game, the right way from the start.  Girls progress to ’180 Middle School’ where Team 180 challenges the girls to take their game to the next level, through training and tournament competition.

‘Team 180 High School’ is for the most elite athletes, who thrive in a highly competitive team environment, and want to excel in lacrosse.  Team 180′s training schedule is intensive, and they travel nationwide to compete in lacrosse tournaments, including premiere recruiting showcases.  Many of Team 180 athletes aspire to play collegiate lacrosse, and we give them the opportunity, and support, to reach their goals.

Team 180′s primary objective is to enable each athlete to become the best lacrosse player she can be, behind a philosophy of strong team development.  Team 180 encourages their teams to remain together from middle school, through high school.  Practicing and playing together, on a consistent basis, builds trust and understanding, raising their level of play.
