Dear Lacrosse Fanatics!

Welcome to the 18th Annual US Lacrosse Michigan 7 v 7 Tournament!  From a handful of teams in the first few 7 v 7’s, we’ve grown to over 150 teams from several states and two countries (welcome to the Canadians, and your great stickwork!)

The schedules for this weekend are below, along the field map. Click on the appropriate link for your schedule. Look for your team name, and the corresponding letter code. Find that letter code in the applicable schedule, and that will show your game times and fields.

Boys’ teams should park from the Beck Road side of the park, and girls’ teams from the 5 Mile Road side. We have special areas designated for RV parking.  Please follow the parking guides directions when you arrive.  Northville has a Dog park for their constituents and we will try to leave some spots open for them. Please make sure that parents/spectators understand this rule.  Please help us when we ask you not to park there.

Please keep the park clean.  Bring garbage bags, and pick up your stuff.  We’ll be handing out extra bags.  No pick up trash, no come back next year…

Play hard this weekend, but leave your anger at home.  This is about fun and a little pre-spring diagnosis.  Appreciate your opponents:  without them, you don’t have a game!  And please thank the game officials for being there and helping with the tournament.

“Judy the Foodie” will have plenty of chow for all, and it is really special on a cool day.  They will have grilled hot dogs, sausage, chicken breast and other items.
Also they will have coffee , tea, hot chocolate, bagels, muffins to start the day! On Saturday, she will be in the Concession Building only. On Sunday, she will have 2 locations, one at the Concession Building, and one near the Tournament Headquarters.

There will be a few college coaches at the tournament this year.
