Welcome to Tryouts – Part 2
We are excited to share several key resources and updates with you ahead of the fall season.

Fall 2025 Master Calendar
The moment you’ve been waiting for is here!
 Our Fall Master Calendar is now live — the best fall lacrosse opportunities available.

 ➡️ CLICK HERE to view the Fall Master Calendar
 

What’s Included:

 

• Main Tab: Complete list of all fall practices.  Some tweaking of start times may be necessary due to Jesuit sports once we need to use the stadium field with lights.  
• Tournament Tabs: 2025–2026 tournaments listed by graduation year.
• Coaches Tab:  Coaches by team

Coming Soon: Breakout tabs for positional and skill-specific sessions (next week).

The calendar is color-coded for easy reference. If it feels overwhelming at first, don’t worry! Once you register, you and your spouse will gain access to the LeagueApps Play app, where we’ll upload all events by September for convenient mobile viewing.
You can also find the calendar year-round on our website’s homepage:

 

• On desktop: top left of the homepage
• On mobile: first link visible when the page loads

Skills & Holiday Camp Registration

We will open registration in the next few weeks for the following optional events:
 

• Positional Skills Sessions:  For 3rd-4th grade (these skills still need to be added to the calendar), 5th–8th grade (youth) and 9th–12th grade (high school)
• 19th Annual Holiday Camp

Goalie Skills:
These typically sell out quickly and will initially be restricted to Iron Horse team members.
Other skills sessions are open to all players — about 50% of attendees come from outside Iron Horse, so feel free to invite teammates from your rec or school programs!
 

Holiday Camp:
This year's Holiday Camp is for 1st-8th graders. Our coaching staff will include current NCAA college coaches, Iron Horse coaches and Iron Horse alum home for the holiday break. 

T99 Showcase:  *The 23rd annual T99 Individual Showcase for rising 9th-12th graders will be Thursday, May 28th-Friday, May 29th at Dallas Jesuit. 30+ NCAA DI, DII and DIII college coaches will be attending. More details coming soon!

Tournament Tab Details
Some Summer 2026 tournament dates have not been released yet. In those cases, we’ve temporarily used Summer 2025 rollover dates. Most of the updated dates will be available after Labor Day.
Use the Tournament Tab (not the main calendar) to view your team’s tournament list for the year.  This is easier to view on a laptop and not your phone.  

Mistakes Happen — Let Us Know!
We’ve worked on this schedule for the last four weeks, and while we’ve reviewed it thoroughly, there may still be minor errors.  All 4th-12th-grade teams should have sixteen practices for 1.5 hours.  All Ponies teams should have eight practices for 1.25 hours.  If you catch any errors or anomalies, please email tsurran@ironhorselax.com.  

Coaches By Team
The coaches are listed by team on the Master Calendar in a separate tab.  To view coach bios CLICK HERE
