How To Watch

Log on to NLLtv.com to watch all the action starting this weekend!


The Relocation Games

Both the Swarm and the Rush relocated to their current homes in May of 2015, and since then they have not only found new fan bases but also found incredible success.


The Georgia Swarm

The Swarm are paced by Lyle Thompson's 116 points this season, and an absolutely astounding influx of Native American talent including Randy Staats, Johnny Powless, and Miles and Jerome Thompson.

Look for the Thompsons to use their uncanny ability to find each other in the right spots to make plays to serve the Swarm well as they attempt to take home the title.


The Saskatchewan Rush

The Rush are led by Mark Matthews and his 113 point campaign, and are coming off a dominant sweep of the Colorado Mammoth. The Rush also have the final Thompson in this matchup, with Jeremy as their primary face-off man. 

This team is composed of exclusively Canadians outside of Thompson, so this should be a treat for fans to watch them play the variety of lacrosse they are most often more comfortable with.

Blue Star Lacrosse Camps!

Have A Blast!

Blue Star Lacrosse Camps are designed to be fun for everyone involved (that includes counselors too!) There are a lot of reasons to go to camp but at the end of the day we want campers to leave feeling exhausted and excited for the next day. We strive to create an environment that cultivates a player's passion for the game - we have found over 25+ years of camps that passion and attitude are the biggest future drivers of success!
