The ideals of respect, sportsmanship, connection, team spirit, trust, leadership and carrying on the traditions of the game are the core philosophy behind the annual US Lacrosse U-13 and U-15 National Youth Festivals. There are no champions crowned or MVP awards given out – the events are about the experience each player gets by participating both on and off the field.
Thousands of youth lacrosse players from all over the country, representing each of the 60 US Lacrosse chapters, participate in the festivals. The US Lacrosse BRIDGE program will also be sending a unified, national boys team to the U-15 festival. Opening ceremonies and guest speakers kick off each of the youth events.
The US Lacrosse U-13 National Youth Festival will be held June 13-15 in Warren County, Ohio. The US Lacrosse U-15 National Youth Festival will be held June 20-22 in Lake George, N.Y.
There are a few more slots at each festival left for team, so register today! For more information on the 2008 US Lacrosse National Youth Festivals, please visit www.uslacrosse.org/events.
No. 2 seed Air Academy looked very much like an undefeated team with a chance at a state girls lacrosse title Friday.
No. 15 Columbine took a 1-0 lead early but never led again as the Kadets (16-0) scored 12 straight to blow the game wide open for a 17-3 win.
The Kadets will host No. 10 Chaparral (9-6), which beat No. 7 Mullen 11-10 on Thursday, sometime next week.
Freezing cold temperatures, strong winds and snow flurries didn’t stop more than 21,000 people from enjoying a little lacrosse on Saturday. The second annual Toyota LaxFest kicked off at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park at 8:00 in the morning. Boys and girls teams in grades two through eight from the state of Colorado showed up to play at the premier sports park in the nation.
“It’s an unbelievable facility,” said Colorado Youth Lacrosse Association president Chris Clark about the complex. “[NDP Lacrosse] has done a phenomenal job of getting things set up for us.”
The event also included teams from southern Wyoming and one team from California. Over a twelve-hour period, 328 teams cycled through as part of the biggest lacrosse event ever west of the Mississippi River, bringing the Colorado lacrosse community together for one day in one location.
“It’s wonderful to see all these teams come together,” said Amy Moore, whose nephew, Josh, plays midfield for the Highlands Ranch Rams.
“One of the great things about lacrosse in Colorado is that it is a really close community,” added Colorado Lacrosse Club president and Colorado Lacrosse Foundation board member Heather Faircloth. “I think it’s good for the coaches and players to meet and they get the opportunity to do that here.”
More than 160 games were played on 18 fields, including teams managed by Colorado Mammoth transition player Josh Sims and Colorado Mammoth general manager Steve Govett.
Toyota LaxFest featured much more than just lacrosse. Toyota stepped up to offer a win-a-car contest, which put a 2009 fully-loaded Toyota Corolla up for grabs.
“Toyota has been really involved with the event,” said NDP director of operations Brian Tatum. “They are really the reason we’re able to pull this off each year.”
The contest was held at three locations throughout the complex. Winning the car required a contestant to hit six target holes in a specific order.
“If they’re giving away a car, I’m definitely going to give it a try,” said Dave Dreier, the coach of the 7th grade girls Panthers, “but I think I could only hit about four of the targets.”
Toyota LaxFest also debuted the 2008 Toyota Accuracy and Dick’s Sporting Goods Multi-Sport Challenge national contests, which will be featured at tournaments throughout the country this summer. The national contests offer participants the opportunity to win a trip to Florida, as well as a VIP pro lacrosse experience and a shopping spree.
In one year, Toyota LaxFest grew by 24 teams. NDP Lacrosse management says it expects continued growth on an annual basis.
“Increased participation strengthens the reputation of lacrosse in Colorado,” Tatum said about Toyota LaxFest. “The teams and players here are getting better, and a big event like this sends a message to the east coast.”
Not even 50 mile-per-hour wind gusts could stand in the way of stick-checks, saves, clears and highlight-reel goals at Toyota LaxFest.
“It’s a great opportunity for the kids playing,” added Rich Morgan, the scheduler for the Colorado Youth Lacrosse Association. “It’s a celebration of lacrosse in Colorado.”
Telluride, Colo. - One of the fastest growing sports in the country is also one of the fastest growing sports in Telluride. Lacrosse, once limited mainly to the East Coast and a few scattered prep schools, has journeyed all the way to the one-horse Western Slope of Colorado. Club teams in Grand Junction, Montrose, Eagle and Telluride give kids the opportunity to learn this fast-paced sport.
And why not? It’s one of the sports genuinely invented by North Americans. When they arrived, French missionaries discovered that Native Americans were playing lacrosse. Now it’s all over the country, in middle schools, high schools and colleges, and there’s even a professional league.
Steamboat Springs — It didn’t take a lucky shot, an advantageous referee’s call or a bizarre twist of fate.
The Steamboat Springs High School girls lacrosse team won its first game of the season, beating Mountain Range, 6-3, on Wednesday in Steamboat, by simply outplaying the Mus tangs.
Sailor senior Mollie Wun der scored two goals in the first half and sophomore Hannah Poland scored three in the second as Steamboat built and maintained a comfortable lead.
“To get a win is great, and not just for me,” Wunder said. “It’s great because we have a lot of new players this year. I know what it feels like to win and letting them know what it feels like is great.”
Together with Colorado Rising Stars Lacrosse, LLC, US Lacrosse will host the first WDIA Youth Clinic this May in Denver in conjunction with the WDIA National Championship Game.

Roll dodges and cradles take center stage this weekend on all levels, from the youngsters in the LaxFest, to the collegians at the University of Denver, to the Colorado Mammoth playing Saturday for the National Lacrosse League West Division title.
Boys and girls teams, grades 2 through 8, are eschewing their usual regular-season game sites across the Denver area to play Saturday on 18 fields at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City. With 325 teams, LaxFest starts at 8 a.m. and is the largest youth lacrosse event west of the Mississippi River.
The University of Denver (9-5, 4-1 in the Great Western Lacrosse League) plays its final GWLL game Saturday at 1 p.m. at Air Force Academy (3-8, 1-3).
The 18th-ranked DU women (10-5, 4-0 in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation), fresh off a 13-9 upset of No. 19 Stanford, play a key MPSF contest at California (9-6, 4-0) on Saturday and at St. Mary’s (2-13, 0-4) on Sunday.
The Mammoth (9-6) had its game at San Jose moved to Saturday because of the NHL playoffs. Colorado and the Stealth (8-7) split games this season.
Colorado is riding a two-game win streak after routing cellar-dweller Edmonton by scores of 15-4 and 13-8 last weekend.
Mammoth all-star Dan Carey, still recovering from a concussion, has not played since April 3.
“He’s feeling good, he’s working out and he hasn’t had symptoms in a while,” general manager Steve Govett said. “We’re cautiously optimistic, but we don’t want to put him in harm’s way.”
Jamie Shewchuk has filled Carey’s void with a career-best 24 goals.
Defenseman Jim Moss has recovered from a neck strain and is expected to play, along with defenseman Matt Leveque (back). But speedy transition player Josh Sims (ankle) is doubtful.
Team captain Gavin Prout leads the league with a career-best 65 assists and is ranked second in points with 90. Brian Langtry leads the Mammoth in goals with 28.
The Stealth counter with all-stars Jeff Zywicki and Colin Doyle. Zywicki, the league leader in shooting percentage at .241, ranks third with 45 goals. Doyle has 25 goals and 54 assists.
