The 12th annual Summer Celebration boys lacrosse tournament will be held Saturday, June 17 and Sunday, June 18 in Williamsburg, Virginia with all games being played at the Warhill Sports Complex. This is one of the finest tournament facilities in the nation, consisting of 13 adjacently positioned fields. Seven are regulation-sized synthetic FieldTurf fields with CoolPlay infill systems that reduce the surface heat by up to 35 degrees. Six are professional grade regulation-sized Bermuda grass fields. The facility also has multiple permanent bathrooms, plenty of parking just a short walk to the fields, and is located just minutes from Colonial Williamsburg, Busch Gardens and Water Country USA. Numerous, affordable lodging and dining options are, likewise, a short distance from the fields.
New for 2023, the Summer Celebration is a two-day 10v10 event with all teams guaranteed a minimum of five 52 minute games. Divisions are offered based on graduation year, beginning with the class of 2024 and continuing through the class of 2032. Programs that field youth teams using US Lacrosse Age and Eligibility Guidelines may also participate and will be placed into divisions that provide the most competitive matchups.
Every effort is made to provide all attendees with a wonderful event experience. At the high school level, teams are pre-scheduled in a festival-style format so as to aid in attending college coaches' recruiting efforts. At the youth level a tournament-style format is employed with teams carefully placed within a unique bracketing system. This methodology creates the most logical and competitive match-ups. Finally, the Summer Celebration provides scorers tables and scoreboards on every field -- along with end line balls and/or netting systems.
The registration fee is $2595 for high school teams and $1695 for youth teams. Multi-team discounts are offered to programs that register four or more teams. Registration Forms and non-refundable deposits of $400 are being accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
Balance payments and a Roster Form must be received by June 1.
Online Waiver & Release Forms, which all participants must complete in order to participate, need to be submitted no later than Wednesday, June 14.
Finally, the Summer Celebration has partnered with Traveling Teams to secure tournament attendees discounted room blocks at a variety of area resorts and hotels.
