About 1763 Lacrosse Club
1763 Lacrosse Club is the high-level travel lacrosse program of All American Lacrosse. The objective of the program is to be recognized as among the best club lacrosse teams in the nation in order to provide exposure to college coaches for our players. We want to develop the best players and win as a team. Teams are selected through a tryout process. We observe the play of individuals throughout the Fall, Winter, and Summer sessions at All American and invite those that we think have the qualities to both contribute and get the most out of our program. Sometimes, invitations are also extended based on recommendations from coaches. Opportunity through the open tryout process will happen as well.
Why Are We Called 1763?
1763 is the year that lacrosse became Michigan's liberator and first team sport. In the summer of 1763 the Sauk and Ojibwe needed a plan to recapture Fort Michilimackinac (upper Michigan) from the British. The British were at war with the French and controlled all the
trading in the Upper-Midwest. Since the Ojibwe and Sauk preferred the French's favorable trading practices over those of the English they devised a unique plan, using a lacrosse game to distract the British soldiers so they could take over the fort. The date for the game was set for June 2 to coincide with the English Kings birthday when the soldiers would be free from their duties and ready to be entertained by the public wagering on the game. On the day of the game the plan had the women of both tribes line up along the wall in front of the main gate with tomahawks, knives and war clubs under their shawls and blankets. As the game moved closer to the main gate the ball was thrown into the Fort. The players from both teams dropped their sticks, grabbing the weapons from the women and stormed the unsuspecting British through the open main gate capturing the Fort and all the goods, and that's how Lacrosse liberated Michigan for the natives!
Important For You To Know
We are looking for the best players, those that have a deep passion for the sport of lacrosse. It is our hope that young players will grow with our lacrosse club over the years and achieve as much success as possible. You should have superior stick skills, great speed, agility, and stamina, and most importantly the drive and willingness to practice hard and function as a team player. We operate the 1763 Lacrosse Club as a Non-Profit organization. Nonetheless, the cost to participate in a program like this is significant. We have what we think is one of the best coaching staffs around, and we practice quite a bit so that each and every player can improve as much as possible and so that our teams play together as a unit for the best possible result. The time and travel committment to participate in travel lacrosse is also significant.
