National Tournament Information
The high school tournament is on Saturday and Sunday (May
29-30). We will most likely leave Seattle on Thursday around
noon. We will return to Seattle Sunday night.
If you are a sophomore or junior and are interested in
playing lacrosse in college, the National Tournament is
where college coaches can watch you play. College coaches
use this tournament to scout out players. The tournament
also provides you an opportunity to watch the best high
school, college, and club (former college players and
national team players) players in the US compete.
