The Smithson Valley High School Boys Lacrosse Club represents Smithson Valley High School, Pieper High School, and surrounding private school in the Texas High School Lacrosse League (THSLL). Our governing board is actively searching for qualified candidates for the position of Varsity Head Coach/Program Director.

About Smithson Valley LAX: The Smithson Valley Lacrosse program was officially established in 2009 after some boys from the Smithson Valley area joined with kids from San Antonio to play with the team, under the direction of Dr. Keith Markey, playing for the north side of San Antonio at Concordia Lutheran. The following year boys from Smithson Valley were the majority of the boys playing the game. That year we had 28 boys; 5 from San Antonio and the rest from Smithson Valley causing the sport to catch on. Kelly Evers, an 8th grade history teacher at SVMS and a former player for Cornell Lacrosse, was the first to accept the position of head coach of the Smithson Valley middle school level team. In 2011, we grew into a full program, opening it up to kids from kindergarten to 12th grade to play on our club teams. In fall of 2010 we joined CTYLA (Central Texas Youth Lacrosse Association) for the 2011 season and with the guidance of a fantastic board and support system in CTYLA, we were a huge success. In the 2011 season we had 85 participants in the program, a mix of boys and girls however only played as boy's teams due to a lack of girls in order to form and independent girl's league. This was also our first year to enter THSLL as a D2 high school program. We did well and went to the first round of district playoffs, only to be defeated by St. Mary's Hall. After a very successful season in 2012, once again we made it to the second round of district playoffs to be defeated by St Mary's Hall. In 2019 we were runner up in the D2 State Championship game and have been a competitive force with the Austin area teams with deep runs into the post season. In 2024 we added both youth and high school girls lacrosse to our organization as we continue to support the growth of the sport. Today out program consists of 120 boys and girls representing our schools and community in the Bulverde/Spring Branch area

What to expect: The Smithson Valley LAX board oversees the business aspects of the club, including coach contract oversight, fundraising, sponsorships, registrations, parent relations, and defining strategic goals.

The THSLL Board voted to change the current Class C Playoff structure to an allocation system for the 2024 season and follow the outline of the current Class B playoff allocation system. This is due to movement in the number of Class C teams in districts. The playoff spots will remain at 8, but the allocation will be determined by the total number of teams within the district at the beginning of the season. 
Eight Teams from Class C are to be selected for THSLL State Playoffs to be played at single site during Super Regional weekend established in League Timeline.

The Member Teams will vote on this change. 

Update - This vote did not pass and the spots will remain at 2 per district for 2024.
