FVLC Travel Teams are an excellent opportunity to play lacrosse at a higher level than recreational or in-house programs. Travel teams have the opportunity to play approximately 30 games through league and tournament play, with minimal out of state travel.
FVLC Spring Travel Teams will primarily compete in the Naperville and surrounding Chicagoland areas. Currently travel teams at the U-15, U-13 and U-11 levels are planning to attend two out of state overnight tournaments in South Bend and Carmel, Indiana. The remaining tournaments are local one day tournaments in the Western Suburbs.
Of those 30 games, Travel Teams will play between 10 and 15 league games all in Naperville and Chicagoland areas.

U-15 (8th Grade)
