June 16-18 Amherst, Mass.

Event Description
This event gives chapter representative teams a venue to come together to "Honor the Game" of lacrosse. The format of this event is designed specifically to allow US Lacrosse chapters to send a team of players that will represent them with dignity and class both on and off the field. The ideals of respect, sportsmanship, connection, team spirit, trust, leadership and carrying on the traditions of the game are at the core of the philosophy behind this event. There are no champions crowned or MVP awards given out – this event is about the experience each player gets by participating both on and off the field.
