General Information
Welcome to the 9th Annual Liberty Lacrosse Shootout - a competitive youth lacrosse tournament for boys in a fun and festive atmosphere that celebrates lacrosse, camaraderie and sportsmanship.
Over 100 teams and 2500 youth players are expected to participate in what has become one of the most popular day tournaments in the Mid-Atlantic region, drawing teams from, among other places, Greater Philadelphia, Mid-Penn, Lehigh Valley, New Jersey, Maryland, New York and Connecticut.
The Shootout features a "Vendor Village/Fun Zone" conveniently located in the heart of the field complex, where participants and guests will find food, beverages, clinics and entertainment.
- Where: GCVSA Line Road Field Complex, Malvern, PA (consists of eight (8) level, sprinklered and beautifully groomed playing fields located in scenic and historic Willistown Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania). If numbers or other constraints require, some brackets may be scheduled on quality fields at West Chester East High School (at least for pool play). The West Chester East campus is 3 miles from the host venue.
- Age Groups/Flights/Date of Play:
Note: US Lacrosse guidelines with respect to age groups, not grades, control (teams with age appropriate 3rd, 5th and 7th graders may play in the U9, U11 and U13 divisions, respectively, though these instances, in our experience, are the exception, not the rule, and we rely on coaches and program directors to Honor the Game in choosing their brackets to ensure a competitive event for all concerned.Age Group
