Event History
Based on the success and positive participant and spectator experience of the US Lacrosse National Youth Festivals since 1998, US Lacrosse feels that it is best positioned to provide the highest caliber U-15 Championship event possible, based on integrity, cost, facility, game experience and overall quality. US Lacrosse has worked hard to infuse the most attractive components of the Festival competitions into the Championship event structure.
 
US Lacrosse believes that the Under-15 participation bracket, and not younger, is age-appropriate for this level of competition and insures that the skill and game advancement of participants will be showcased through healthy competition that truly Honors the Game.
