About the Tournament

The opportunity to take part in two meaningful experiences – spectating the sport’s most prominent college programs, along with wearing the jersey of your homeland – makes for a complete weekend. 

While the primary focus of the weekend is to raise funds, awareness and donated equipment to support the development of youth lacrosse in the participating countries, the competition on the field is real. Teams representing Puerto Rico (World #8 ranked), Philippines (#10), Ireland (#12), Jamaica (#13) and 10+ other countries traditionally join Israel to compete. 

Most of the participating teams are comprised of predominantly “heritage players” who are eligible to compete for their respective national teams under World Lacrosse criteria as non-passport holders.

This Year’s Event

Israel will be competing in the Men’s, U-18, U-15 and U-13 divisions. Youth players will receive instruction by experienced men’s national team players and coaches during their games, training sessions and special clinics throughout the weekend.
