We are going to take the lacrosse world by storm with a new attitude, purpose, and mission.
Next Level Sports will innovate and revolutionize collegiate lacrosse by founding an Olympic-style lacrosse league featuring Mid-Atlantic colleges and universities, including several Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

The Next Collegiate League (NCL) will showcase student athlete talent playing a new Olympic Style Lacrosse that is an evolved faster-paced, higher-scoring version of the sport. It is called Olympic Style Lacrosse because the International Olympic Committee is contemplating adding this innovative format to the 2028 Olympic games in Los Angeles.

• Bowie State University
• University of Maryland Eastern Shore
• Lincoln University
• Coppin State University
• Delaware State University
• Morgan State University

“The Collegiate League is our way to establish a global audience, innovate and elevate the sport of lacrosse to make it more prominent and more accessible on college campuses and throughout the country,” said André Gudger, Next Level Owner/CEO. “We envision providing a platform for Olympic-style lacrosse that has global reach and it will give athletes an opportunity to rapidly expand the sport and compete at the Olympic level.”

The Collegiate League season will begin in April with the inaugural Crown Classic Tournament. Next Level Sports will produce and broadcast a 10-game season from early April to mid-May.
