All-Star Program Overview
We love the game, we love to teach the game.
At Blue Star Lacrosse, we believe in using lacrosse to build character, work ethic and teach life-long lessons. At Blue Star, we aim to develop great young lacrosse players and great young men. We want our players to be equipped to play at the highest levels of lacrosse and also to be able to overcome any obstacles and adversity they face in life. At the youth level, we do not worry about "winning", rather we believe in teaching and creating the best players/teams possible. Through doing this, the winning will take care of itself.
While we are teachers of the game, our strong suit and also a competitive advantage is college placement. We pride ourselves on helping families navigate the recruiting process as their sons travel through it. In the recruiting world, our reputation exceeds us. With hundreds of players placed previously, our staff will work to ensure that all players find a great college match. From a competition standpoint, we ensure that all our players are seen by as many coaches as humanly possible and attend the most prestigious recruiting tournaments in the country.

Youth Program Overview (3rd-5th Grade)
Teams will have a "home base" and practice out of one of three locations - Basking Ridge, Princeton or Mt. Laurel.
The youth program will be divided into three local, geographically-based teams to allow younger players to enjoy becoming a part of Blue Star. There will be youth teams based out of Princeton, Basking Ridge and Mt. Laurel at each grade level. We have broken the teams up geographically with an emphasis on convenience for our families. At this age, building fundamentals and a passion for the game is paramount!!!
Players will receive the same outstanding coaching but with less travel and more flexibility! There will be a team for each age group hosted in Princeton, Basking Ridge and Mt Laurel, NJ. These will be the teams home bases cutting out long drives to practice. At various times throughout the season, will have our youth teams come together to play and train together allowing players to truly be a part of something special and bigger than themselves
