In 2012, the Underclassman Games will again feature ten teams, both boys and girls, who will battle it out in a pool play tournament. We will hold tryouts and will select non-senior players from ten regions around the nation.
The Under Armour All-Stars will represent Baltimore, Long Island (NY), Upstate New York, the Midwest, Philadelphia, New England, New Jersey, the South, Washington, D.C., and the West. The teams will come to Baltimore on June 29th, 30th, and July 1 to participate in the tournament in front of lacrosse fans and college coaches. Each team will play four games in pool play with the top two seeds from each division advance to the Final Four to declare an Underclass Championship.
ELIGIBILITY: Boys and girls who, in July 2012, will have just completed their freshman (grad. year - 2015), sophomore (grad year- 2014) or junior (grad year- 2013) season. You must live within the geographic region for the team you are trying out for and be in good academic standing. Teams include: Baltimore All-Stars, Long Island (NY) All-Stars, Upstate NY All-Stars, Midwest All-Stars, New England All-Stars, New Jersey All-Stars, Philadelphia All-Stars, Washington, D.C. All-Stars, South All-Stars, and West All-Stars.
SELECTION: Each player must register for their geographic region. No refunds. Players will be judged by a panel of knowledgeable sources including coaching experts from that region. Each team will consist of a maximum of 24 players and will be chosen based on position and their performance at that day's tryout. Walk up registration will cost $160 for boys and $105 for girls.
ATHLETE BENEFITS: College Coaches from DI, DII & DIII lacrosse programs will be invited to attend both the regional tryouts as well as the games in Baltimore. Participants who play in the Underclassmen games will have the inside track to being exposed to the selection committee of the Under Armour All-America team which they will be eligible for once they are seniors. All participants will receive a FREE one-year subscription to Inside Lacrosse Magazine and an Under Armour Tech Tee. Players that make the final rosters will also receive a ticket to the All-American game on June 30th.
