For the first time, the Diablo Athletic League boys and girls lacrosse teams are going to participate in a league championship series. Because of this change, the schools are no longer playing a home and home series with the schools in their league, playing each other school once in the regular season.

This change allows for each of the schools to play more non-league games with the option of playing against tougher or more equal opponents. At the conclusion of the season, the top four seeded teams will play against each other (1-4; 2-3) leading to a championship game. The ultimate winner will automatically go to the NCS playoffs though there will still be at large bids available.

With the Miramonte, Acalanes and Compolindo girls teams ranked 1-2-3 in league standings, and the Acalanes and Miramonte boys teams ranked 1 and 3 in league play, playoff anticipation is readily evident in Lamorinda.
