Kings Lacrosse Club was founded in 2016 by Ray Cross and Dave Maguire in order to grow the game of lacrosse in Denver and to put Colorado youth lacrosse on the map.  Both Ray and Dave grew up on the East Coast and sought to recreate the experiences they had as young players in Wilton, CT and Philadelphia, PA.  Having both played at the collegiate level at Notre Dame (Ray) and Ohio Wesleyan (Dave), they leaned heavily on their backgrounds to develop a club philosophy rooted in player development, team lacrosse and player accountability.  The Kings program draws players from the entire Denver metro area, though the majority of its players live in south Denver.   

The 2027 Kings are coached by Ray Cross and have been together since 3rd grade.  They started out with local tournaments around Denver, but quickly began travelling nationwide to seek out the highest level of competition.  This is a tight-knit group of like-minded and athletically gifted boys with a fierce appetite for competition, many of whom play multiple sports together throughout the year.  This team plays the game the right way, whether it’s communicating on defense or making the extra pass on offense.  Through hard work they have enjoyed a great deal of success over the past five years.  Last summer they went 22-0, capped off by winning the 2021 NLF National Championship in July.  

For yet another summer, the 2027 Kings will venture east several times to compete with the best teams in the country and to continue to put 2027 Colorado lacrosse on the map.  Their goal is to be the first western team to win the Lacrosse World Series Championship.  As the University of Denver lacrosse team did in 2015, the Kings 2027 team is looking to make history in 2
