The Vail Lacrosse Shootout will be June 25 - July 3 at Ford Park, Vail Athletic Field, Donovan Park, Nottingham Park in Avon, and Freedom Park in Edwards from approx. 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M.
The Vail Lacrosse Shootout Tournament is by most accounts, the most prestigious annual Club Lacrosse tournament in the world. This year promises to be one of the top lacrosse tournaments of 2011. Past years have seen the United States national team and the Canadian national team enter the tournament (1994). In 1993, the Canadian East and West invitational squads competed in the tournament, and held a quiet intersquad game on the last day of the tournament to help determine the final roster for the 1994 Canadian national team. The English national team competed in Vail in 1992, and for the last 10 years, the top teams from the United States Club Lacrosse Association have brought teams to the Vail Lacrosse Shootout Tournament. In 1995 16 of the 24 1994 U.S. National team players competed in the tournament for different teams. Since the start of Major League Lacrosse, fewer professional players are able to make it out, but the Colorado Mammoth along with other National Lacrosse League players continue to take the field. In 2006, a Grand Masters division will be offered for those >50.
