Join us in celebrating the 2029 Future Elite boys and girls lacrosse teams as they represent us with pride, resilience, and unwavering passion. Together, we all advance the future of indigenous lacrosse and affirm the enduring legacy of the Creator's game.

Future Elite

Boys and Girls Lacrosse Teams

The Future Elite boys and girls lacrosse teams are comprised of talented indigenous 2029 youth players who each exemplify spirit, dedication, and skill which defines our team.

With the Future Elite lacrosse teams, indigenous youth players (both boys and girls) with a 2029 graduation year have the unique opportunity to compete at a high level while embracing their cultural identity. Whether participating in local, regional, or national tournaments, our teams showcase the immense talent and skill of indigenous lacrosse players, with the aim of making a lasting impact in the lacrosse community at large.

Beyond the thrill of competition, the Future Elite team fosters a sense of camaraderie and unity among its members. Our teams function as a close-knit family, supporting one another's growth, celebrating successes, and navigating challenges together. Through this collective bond, we cultivate not only exceptional athletes but also strong leaders who exemplify the principles of respect, honor, and unity both on and off the field. As part of our desire to grow the Creator’s Game, the Future Elite rosters are inclusive and always open to building bridges by providing opportunities for non-indigenous players to compete as part of our teams. 

Our players proudly serve as ambassadors of indigenous culture, spreading awareness of the origins of dehontsigwaehs (“they bump hips”) and inspiring the next generation of indigenous youth players.

Accordingly, our Future Elite lacrosse teams are strengthening the future of indigenous lacrosse and affirming the enduring legacy of the Creator's game.
