boys High School Elite League

winter 2024-2025 session 1 starts November 21th!!!

Houlagan Lacrosse is excited to bring back our annual High School Elite Leagues for the winter of 2024 and 2025!

The High School Elite League was created five years ago with the intention of giving players on the Seacoast an opportunity to keep their sticks active and stay involved with competitive lacrosse during the off-season without interfering with players’ weekend activities. Since 2019, the league has grown with teams/players from 3 different states and 15 different high schools. Past participating schools are Exeter NH, Dover NH, Portsmouth NH, Oyster River NH, Winnacunnet NH, Spaulding NH, St. Thomas Aquinas NH, Newburyport MA, Whittier Tech MA, Marshwood ME, Berwick Academy ME, and York ME, Traip Academy ME.

As in past years the High School Elite League will be played on Thursday evenings at the Seacoast United Indoor Complex in Epping, NH. Games are played between 5:00pm and 9:30pm. All teams will play six weeks of regular season games that will seed teams for quarterfinal week 6. The top four teams will go onto week 7 & 8 where there will be two semi-finals and one championship game.
