THERE IS NOTHING IN YOUTH LACROSSE LIKE THIS.
The PLL Junior Championships provide hundreds of players from across the country (ages 10-14) a once-in-a-lifetime lacrosse experience featuring unparalleled access to the pros, a live-streamed draft, and a chance to play live on the ESPN app!
The event kicks off with immersive training camps where players learn from PLL pros, compete against their peers, and get evaluated for the PLL Junior Player Pool. Athletes in the player pool get selected to PLL teams during the live-streamed Junior Draft on PLL's YouTube.
The event's pinnacle happens at a PLL game-weekend location, where two Junior Championship games will be streamed live on the ESPN App.
If you're looking for an opportunity to play on the biggest stage, or simply trying to improve your game, this is the experience for you.
PART 1: TRAINING CAMPS
Every training camp is an opportunity for athletes to participate in a one-of-a-kind experience, receiving hands-on training from the best athletes and coaches in the sport.
10+ PLL players attend each camp to coach with a focus on the following:
Standardized teaching from top coaches + PLL pros
Dedicated positional + skill training sessions
Coordinated offensive + defensive concepts for game play
Evaluations to determine skills, strengths, and ability.
Opportunities to meet PLL players and learn from their stories
PART 2: THE DRAFT PRESENTED BY WHIRPOOL
Players selected into the player pool after training camp evaluation will get picked by PLL teams in a draft on PLL's YouTube channel in May 2027. The draft features some of the biggest names in the sport and premieres each division's rosters for the PLL Junior Championships tournament happening in August.

"My son walked away energized, more confident, and genuinely better. Yes, his skill improved but what really evolved was how he thinks about the game. Thank you again to you, the PLL player coaches, evaluators, team coaches, and the entire 3Step/PLL staff for delivering such a special experience." - Charles J., 2026 Parent
