Boulder Elite Lacrosse: Club Guide for Boulder County Boys

Boulder Elite is a boys club lacrosse program for Boulder County. It takes boys who are new to the game as well as boys aiming for top-tier competition, and it enters them in regional and national tournaments.

Who Runs Boulder Elite

Boulder Elite is a direct partnership between LXTC Lacrosse and Matt Kelley, the head boys lacrosse coach at Fairview High School. Kelley co-directs Boulder Elite boys with his business partner Brad MacHamer. Both men are listed as co-founders of the Foothills Pack girls club program, and MacHamer also co-directs the Foothills Pack.

LXTC and ADRLN Colorado

ADRLN Colorado was formerly known as LXTC Lacrosse. It has worked with youth, high school and college athletes in the Denver area since 2009. The old lxtclacrosse.com address now redirects to ADRLN Colorado's site, which lists 17 years in Colorado, 250 NCAA commits and 30 former NCAA players and coaches on staff.

The parent Adrenaline Lacrosse site describes the relationship differently. It treats LXTC as a separate partner: Adrenaline Colorado works through its partnership with LXTC Lacrosse Training Center, which is led by Trevor Tierney and Matt Brown. The Boulder Elite site footer still reads "Powered by LXTC."

The LXTC Names on the Staff List

• Trevor Tierney: LXTC co-founder, former Princeton University standout and former Team USA goalie.
• Matt Brown: LXTC co-founder and president, current University of Denver head coach and Canadian National Team head coach.
• Bill Tierney: LXTC founder and Hall of Fame Division I men's head coach with seven NCAA championship titles. He is a former head coach at DU and Princeton and the current Philadelphia Waterdogs head coach.

On-Field Staff

• Roland Moellenberg: on-field director and associate head coach at Fairview High School.
• Riley Curran: on-field director, head coach at Erie High School and head coach at Denver Elite.
• Adam Michaels: offensive strategist and offensive assistant at Fairview High.

The staff page names 13 more coaches beyond these. The club draws its coaches from DU, LXTC and top Boulder-area high schools.

Who Boulder Elite Is For

Boulder Elite was created to give Boulder County boys a local club lacrosse option without leaving the community. Players follow one consistent style of play from 3rd grade through high school.

The club serves six cities:

• Boulder
• Louisville
• Lafayette
• Broomfield
• Erie
• Longmont

Boys play alongside future high school teammates at Fairview, Boulder, Monarch, Erie and other schools, instead of being scattered across Denver programs. The club also stresses minimal travel and less driving on I-25, which saves families time and money.

The club does not set out to replace or compete with local recreation programs.

Where It Leads

When players enter high school, they can try out for the top teams in the shared Boulder Elite / Denver Elite system. From there they split into two tracks:

The club calls this a development pipeline: Boulder Elite, then Denver Elite, then college exposure. Training includes position-specific skill work and small-group development. DU, LXTC and high school coaches train the club's local coaches so that the coaching lines up from level to level. The club's values spell ELITE: Excellence, Leadership, Integrity, Teamwork, Evolution.

How It Fits With Boulder Valley Lacrosse

Boulder Valley Lacrosse (BVL) runs programs for boys in grades 1–8 at every experience level. BVL names Boulder Elite as its recommended option for players who want more games and development in the off-season.

BVL's calendar has three parts:

• Spring League: open to players of every experience level, beginners included. Registration for the 2026 Spring League was set to open January 1, 2026, and some age groups could close as early as January 31.
• Fall League: for players with at least one season of competitive lacrosse.
• Winter: BVL Saturday Sessions at the CU Rec Center in November, December and January.

No Boulder Elite fees are posted.

The Year-Round Calendar

Boulder Elite splits the year into four blocks:

Spring is listed with the same December–January months as winter. Families should confirm spring dates with the directors. In spring, Boulder Elite players play in the BVL Spring League.

The fall 2026 schedule and details have not been posted yet.

Summer 2026: Practices and Tournaments by Team

All 2026 summer practices were scheduled in Boulder at Fairview High School:

• Season: May 19 to July 9, 2026
• Days: Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
• Time: 6:00 to 7:30 PM
• Weeks off: the week of June 15, for the Vail tournament, and June 29 through July 3, for the July 4 holiday

The schedule gave each team its own tournament list. The team names below are the club's year labels, shown as posted.

Tournament schedules can change slightly depending on final roster numbers and which tournaments have space.

Two 2027 dates are already out. The Vail Lacrosse Tournament runs June 15–17, 2027, and the Western Shootout in Colorado Springs runs July 10–11, 2027. These are event dates, not a Boulder Elite 2027 schedule.

Getting Into Boulder Elite in Boulder County

Registration is closed for now. Neither the ADRLN Colorado listing nor the BVL listing for Boulder Elite is accepting sign-ups. Families with questions can email the Boulder Elite directors, Matt Kelley and Brad MacHamer, through the ADRLN Colorado program listing linked above. No fees are posted, so ask the directors about cost before you plan a season.

• ADRLN Colorado registration: ADRLN Colorado's open programs, including its new Winter Box Training Series.

For winter, there are two indoor options: Boulder Elite's December–January block at the CU Indoor Practice Facility and BVL Saturday Sessions at the CU Rec Center. ADRLN Colorado also runs a Winter Box Training Series, which it describes as part of an effort to grow box lacrosse in Colorado. If box or indoor play is new to your family, start with what box lacrosse is and how it differs from the field game.
