A big congrats to Bandit Alum and Coach Ellie.  Ellie recently committed to play lacrosse at Duke University, Class of 2025.  Ellie was an original Bandit when the club first began in 2014.  She played Bandits from 5th grade through 8th grade (there were not any younger Bandit programs at the time).  She has been a multi-sport athlete, playing flag football, AYSO soccer, Rec Basketball, LFHS feeder basketball, tackle football (5th grade), high school basketball, and tons of lacrosse.  Ellie choose to follow her brother to Loyola Academy.  She was a member of the varsity lacrosse team as a freshmen and was a starter by the end of the season.  Last year, her sophomore season, Ellie led the Loyola varsity lacrosse team in scoring and was named U.S. Lacrosse All-American and 1st team Illinois All-State.  She plays her club lacrosse with Team One.

The Bandits add Small Group Training with coach Caroline in November, December, and January.  These sessions are great at providing accelerated lacrosse instruction and development.  Groups ranged in sizes of 4 to 9 players.  The sessions were a big hit and sold-out.  They were offered 2 week nights.  The Bandits are looking at establishing a Small Group platform for Summer training.
