Pods & member schools

Rather than one long drive to a central venue, LCCC groups schools into regional pods. You play the teams nearest you, at a host campus in your own region — then your pod champion carries the region into the statewide final.

Provisional rosters. These pods reflect the schools we've invited and the regions they fall into. Pods will be rebalanced as clubs commit or drop. If your school is listed and you'd like in — or isn't listed and should be — email us.
Confirmed — in for Season 2
Played before — competed in our inaugural season

How pods work

Size
5 – 8 teams
Capped at eight so a full round-robin still fits inside a single day.
Travel
Under an hour
Pods are drawn so no school faces an unreasonable drive to its host campus.
Host
A member school
Every event is hosted on a member campus and run by that school's advisor with a regional coordinator.
Champion
One per pod
Eight pod winners advance to the statewide final in May.
