Starz Lacrosse is the premier club lacrosse program west of the Mississippi. The program has evolved over the past six years since its inception in the summer of 2004. What was once strictly a "club" organization, has grown into being the #1 club team on the West Coast as well as provided a home for local teams to compete. Starz Lacrosse consists of a tiered system that allows for every player to reach their full potential whether it be through Local League Play, Regional All Star Teams, or West Coast Starz. Regional teams (such as OC Kings) compete in a series of recruiting tournaments on the West Coast including the Adrenaline Shootout and the Adrenaline Challenge, while the West Coast Starz teams travel to the East Coast twice a year to compete against the other top club teams in the nation in front of hundreds of recruiters. Being a part of the Starz Program puts players on the fast track to recruitment and provides an opportunity for each player to play at the highest level possible.

I am part of a club team to improve my skills as an individual and as TEAM PLAYER. Being part of team means showing up to all events. It is my responsibility to look at the schedule for the ENTIRE SEASON provided for my team and make arrangements to attend all events. In the event I have something PLANNED IN ADVANCE that I am unable to re-arrange, I will notify my coach, director or team parent IMMEDIATELY. Only when I notify the head of the team immediately can the program plan ahead and keep the best interest of both the team and me as an individual. Last second absences, even with notification, will not help improve the strength of the team, which directly affects ME. Being part of a team means knowing all of the team plays, terminology, etc., as well as keeping up my individual lacrosse skills and staying in shape ON MY OWN. By missing lacrosse events, I fully recognize that I am hurting my team and myself, which directly conflicts with my purpose of playing for the Olympian Starz.
History (The Myth): The Olympians Lacrosse Club was formed in the summer of 2007 and the team side of the organization quickly joined the Starz organization in the fall of 2007. Olympian Lacrosse Club still operates camps and clinics as Olympian Lacrosse.
Mission Statement: Olympian Starz is a group of off-season club lacrosse teams made up of players, from grades 2nd -12th, in the greater South Orange County Area. The mission of the Olympian Starz is to provide the optimal environment for player development by learning from the most qualified coaches available and competing with and against other players looking to take their game to a higher level. Our goal is to develop a player (currently boys only) throughout their Youth, Middle and High School career and additionally provide players with viable opportunities for collegiate lacrosse play through the Regional and West Coast Starz System. It is of the utmost importance that everyone involved with Olympian Starz, including players, coaches, parents, and administration are aligned not only with the vision of the club, but the positive influence structure, both internally and externally.
