1. We are the ONLY program offering our incoming fall 2014 sophomores, juniors, and seniors’ six (6) tournament options over the course of the next season. Additionally, we are offering a well-balanced number of tournaments for our 7th, 8th, and 9th graders.

2. Our retention rate of girls Rippers from year to year overall has lead us to our success on the field showing in our winning record. Oregon Represent! 

3. Eighteen of the twenty-one (18/21) potential roster spots for the Oregon Women’s National Tournament (WNT) team are Rippers’ players.

4. All of our coaches are not only experienced players but are TEACHERS OF THE GAME. We opt to hire experienced High School and College as our LEAD coaches, rather than young players because we feel this group of ladies excels at teaching the game and developing the character of young athletes. They are also mentors of our collegiate player coaches; leading them to the next level of coaching.  Being a great teacher and being a great player are not the same thing (although our coaches will tell you that they're both).

5. Our program is the only Oregon program that handles travel and accommodations for your player to all team tournaments.  This provides a great experience for the player to travel with a team, saves you money (since we book in group rates) and means that parents do not need to attend tournaments, or can enjoy their experiences knowing that their children are properly supervised.  We do everything we can to remove all headaches for the parents at a fair price without hidden costs. 

6. Lacrosse Northwest is the oldest club lacrosse program in Oregon with an inception of 1998.  In our seventh year of our girls' rippers teams, we have grown to four teams strong and have seen 300+ players through our program traveling to tournaments in Florida, Colorado, California, Arizona, and Washington.  Most of our alumni are playing at the collegiate level (DI, DII, DIII, Club) which helps provide more resources for our current players than any other program.

7. In our first year of offering boys’ travel teams we have taken over 100 players to tournaments in Washington and California and have scored victories over established programs including Brady's Bunch, Mad Lax, LA Mavs, Team Panos and more.  Players from each of our past elite teams have gone on to play NCAA and MCLA Lacrosse.  Fifty percent of the players on our 2014 Elite team received contacts from college coaches.

8. We sponsor the Portland Men's Rippers' team (lead by our Boys' Rippers Directors) who brought home the Spring 2014 Championship Trophy for winning their division.

9. Our partnership with Sportsforce gives our girls an online profile where they will be seen by 100s of recruiters across the country.  One more tool to give them that extra boost to playing in college.

10. SWAG!  We want our players looking their best.  No, it isn't the swag that makes a great player, however, it is always awesome to look good while playing great!  From the socks to the apparel and travel bags, our Rippers are WELL taken care of. 

11. We "Rip-it-Up!"
