Northern Power Lax | Leagues |
overview
Northern Power offers league play to boys of all experience levels. We will largely compete in the Spring AYL League and will play a mixture of home and away games. We will work hard to ensure all players are placed on teams where they can develop and have the best experience possible.
1st-5th Grade: Options for our 1st-5th graders will be one to two teams per age group. If we have two teams in a certain age group, we will host evaluations to determine which team players should be placed on based on evaluation performance, previous bodies of work, overall skill level, and experience.
6th-8th Grade: Options for our 6th-8th graders will be our Blue teams (beginner to intermediate) or our Power Select (intermediate to advanced). There will be a tryout hosted in January and we will follow the same model as listed above for evaluations. Power Select is our most advanced option and rosters are invite only. Power Select player dues are more expensive, however, it includes an additional Memorial Day Weekend tournament in Steamboat Springs. Select rostered players will have an additional practice per week and their player packs will include their uniforms, shooter shirt, and Power Select hoodie.
Power Select: To be eligible to tryout for Power Select (6th-8th grade), you must first be fully registered for our general spring registration for 2027 Youth Boys Spring League. You will also need to be registered for tryouts. More info to come! After January tryouts are complete, players selected to play Power Select will receive an invitation. Once accepted, we will move players to Power Select rosters on League Apps and invoices will be adjusted and sent out with the difference. Please consider general spring registration as a deposit for your Power Select season.
*Please note that ALL PLAYERS MAKE A TEAM. Evaluations and Power Select tryouts are only for the top team of each age group. If you are a beginner, we will have a team for you in every age group!

Mission: Growing the game is our passion, and building great people is our mission. Northern Power has been established to provide growth, prevalence, and community for players of all ages and experience levels in Fort Collins, Windsor, Loveland, Severance, Berthoud, and other surrounding areas.
The Northern Power blueprint contains three pillars: Committed, Resilient, and Together.
We believe that these pillars and the specific behaviors associated with them dictate success in lacrosse and all aspects of life. We emphasize the blueprint regularly and reinforce it through numerous character workshops and leadership seminars throughout the year. We pride ourselves on having the best coaches in the state! All coaches are trained in the NP Curriculum, and the majority of coaches have high-level playing and coaching experience. We choose to coach through inspiration and rewarding excellence rather than demanding obedience. We lean on the Power Blueprint of Committed, Resilient, and Together to guide our teams to be better players and better people.
