About[]
The SouthEastern Lacrosse Conference (SELC) is a collegiate lacrosse club league based in the Southeastern United States. In 1988, the SELC was founded to provide for organized, regional college level lacrosse competition and to provide an outlet for high school players in the Southeast to play at the collegiate level. Since its inception, the SELC membership has expanded dramatically due to the explosive growth of high school and youth lacrosse in the Southeast.
The SELC has provided consistent collegiate competition among the member teams, produced viable team/player recognition awards and stages a first-class championship event. Additionally, the league is seeing successful high school players from the typical lacrosse base of the eastern seaboard come south for educational opportunities which have improved the quality of play of these teams.
Division I[]
Currently, 10 different teams are in the SELC Division I. All of the SELC DI teams are members of NCAA Division I. Currently the SELC DI league includes eight member schools from the Southeastern Conference (SEC), two member schools from the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), two member schools from the American Athletic Conference (AAC).
