Seattle, WA – Coming off a successful trip to the Sonoma Shootout in July, the Seattle Starz look forward to the 3rd Annual Space Needle Shootout December 8-10th. 32 Teams are expected to visit the ‘Emerald City’ for the 2006 Space Needle Shootout from Dec 8-10 at the Starfire Sports facility. This year the tournament is open to boy’s teams in the youth, middle school, HS and HS elite age groups.“Last year was a huge success, we attracted traveling teams from around the West Coast and Canada” said Fred Wilmot, Starz Northwest Regional Director. “The talent pool in the NW is growing dramatically and it’s really showing with the number of players being recruited by D1 programs from the West Coast. Last year alone 40 Starz players went on to play college ball with 23 going to D1 programs. This sends a huge message about the quality and caliber of west coast lacrosse in general” “With that being said, we’re hoping to attract several of those East Coast teams as well as other Starz teams from around the country”
