Denver Elite Box Lacrosse
DE is one of the best regional teams in the country based in Denver, CO and is a training and feeder program for the West Coast Starz.
Get better. Play box.
The Denver USBOXLA box lacrosse program, powered by LXTC, is comprised of box lacrosse camps, clinics, tournaments and Denver Elite box teams. The Denver USBOXLA programs are hosted at both outdoor and indoor rinks in the Denver area. Playing box lacrosse is one of the reasons that young Canadian players have such great stick work and are dominating the game at the college and professional level. With the leadership of Matt Brown, who grew up in Vancouver, LXTC is now bringing that same box opportunity to young Colorado players. There is simply no better way to improve upon fundamentals, stick work, athleticism and toughness than to play box lacrosse. Through the various training programs throughout the year, top players are selected to play on the Denver Elite box teams that compete all over North America in the USBOXLA, the top club box lacrosse association in the country.
ADRLN Colorado Defense and Offense Training Sessions start in November with Jack DiBenedetto and Jack Tortolani.
Coach DiBenedetto is a former defenseman and coach at DU. Coach Tortolani is current offensive coordinator and former midfielder at DU. They are two of the best young coaches in the game!

Thanks to Coach T from PLL Champs @phillywaterdogs stopping by to give our 34/35 Denver Elite players some words of wisdom before practice!
Having our former Denver Elite players come back and coach the younger teams in the summer is awesome to see. @mdt_33_ put in work with our DE 2032s and is headed back to play for Delaware for the year. Thank you, Michael!
Liam Buxman DE #41
Congratulations to DE 2027 Def, Liam Buxman on his recent commitment to Concordia University - Irvine! Liam brings size and strength in his close defense role. His length and feet allow him to consistently remain on hands and create turnovers, while maintaining proper position. Along with his communication skills, Liam’s IQ and off-ball prowess make him a valuable asset in any defensive scheme. We are proud of Liam, and looking forward to watching his career as an Eagle!
Congratulations to Andrew Neilson, DE 2027 Mid, for his recent commitment to Rollins College! Andrew is an intelligent and hyper-athletic ball carrier, who dodges with C.O.D and quickness, and plays with vision and toughness. His lacrosse IQ and ability to manipulate approaching defenders allow him to apply pressure to an opposing defense, acting as an offensive QB from the midfield position. With a relentless nose for the goal, Andrew’s ability to create havoc to opposing defenses off-ball with high IQ movement and cutting, create an extremely versatile offensive player. We are happy for Andrew as we look forward to watching his lacrosse journey as a Tar!
