Where to Play

Where to play lacrosse around Fort Wayne

School teams, youth clubs, camps and training for families in Fort Wayne, Allen County and the surrounding northeast Indiana communities — plus the Indiana and regional colleges that play the sport.

School teams

Many northeast Indiana high schools field a team, some as school programs and some as school-affiliated clubs. Start by asking the athletic office whether lacrosse is offered and who coaches it.

Club and travel teams

Club teams pull players from across a region and play in summer and fall. This is the usual route where a school has no team of its own.

Camps and clinics

The lowest-commitment way to try the sport — a few days, borrowed gear in many cases, and no full-season obligation.

Private and small-group training

Available year round in the Fort Wayne area, useful both for complete beginners and for players targeting a varsity roster spot.

Most other northeast Indiana high schools do not field a team yet. If your school has added lacrosse — or if a link here is out of date — let us know and we will update the list. Nothing on this page is paid placement.
