Box lacrosse
Box is built in.
Box lacrosse is part of every U10 to high school Yeti athlete's winter. We're the only program in Illinois with box built right into the program. It's an elite development tool, and it sets our teams and players apart. Yeti takes box seriously.
Winter only?
We sometimes have spots for athletes who want to join Illinois' top box program just for the winter, even if you play for another club. Reach out.

Coaches
Real coaches who care.
Our staff has played an instrumental role in growing the game in Illinois: building community programs and high school programs, and starting the journey of thousands of players. They're dedicated, professional coaches who care about every player and teach the game the right way, and it's why we're home to most of the best players in the area.
Player interest form
Want to play for Yeti?
Main tryouts are in August, but the interest form is open all year and we add players at supplemental tryouts when spots open. Heads up: some State Travel Team levels may already be full until tryouts, so getting on our radar early helps.
