Subject: 7v7 Tournament Update and Save the Date!
17th Annual 7v7 Tournament, November 6-7th
We will be returning to Northville to follow up on our two day event last year with another Fall classic 7v7. Last year we had 112 teams and the registrations are piling in already. Don’t wait! We may sell out. Again we will have Boys and Girls, JV and younger on Saturday with HS varsity level contests for Boys and Girls on Sunday.
Two things to take note of: This year we may have 3rd-4th grade teams if enough sign up. The growth of lacrosse has spread to the younger ages and we want to give them an opportunity to play as well. So get those younger boys’ and girls’ teams together and contact other younger programs so we can have enough competitive games to host these age groups.
Second: If high school Varsity age teams create a jersey-numbered roster and submit it along with the roster, we will make the roster available to college coaches in the hopes they will come see the fine talent that Michigan and the surrounding states (and Canada!) have to offer. The roster should include names, jersey number, grade, and high School attended. Do not name your team after your high school as that may be a violation. This was requested by college coaches, so we know there is interest. Come see and be seen!

Again: we sell out this tournament every year. If you’re coming, you should sign up soon. We are sad to deal with disappointed parents and players each year!
Save The Date – November 13th – Michigan Lacrosse Hall of Fame Party!
Come honor our “Famers” in November. The site and details will be coming soon. Please set aside the date to honor our 2010 inductees Vicki Oakley, Deb Pavle, Tom Graesser, Gene Reilly, Mike Jolly, and Roger Pattee as well as past inductees. These folks have given us much for Lacrosse. Save the date and be prepared to meet with your friends for an evening of Lacrosse camaraderie.
This is the year’s best off-field lacrosse party. Active players, coaches, officials and fans, and “old-timers” will all be there. We hope to see you too.

The 2010 U.S. Lacrosse Michigan Scholarships have been awarded. We had a large number of applications this year, reflecting lots of great lacrosse student-athletes. The following four persons were awarded scholarships:
Joey McCormick (Okemos/University of Michigan) Betsey VanWieren (Okemos/University of Michigan)
Melanie Parke (Grosse Pointe South/University of Michigan)
All applicants had fabulous credentials, and these four stood out. The scholarship winners will be presented with certificates at the USLM Hall of Fame games, at Detroit Country Day School, Saturday, June 19. Their scholarships ($500 each) will be funded upon their enrollment in a Michigan college or university.
A reminder about the Hall of Fame Day (June 19 at Detroit Country Day School): the women’s high school graduating senior Hall of Fame Game will be held at 1:00 and the men’s at 3:00. The scholarship winners, as well as our 2010 Hall of Fame inductees, will be honored at approximately 2:30. Congratulations to the scholarship winners, and best wishes to all scholarship applicants. We hope you can join us at DCD on June 19 to see some great lacrosse, and to honor the scholarship winners and the 2010 Hall of Fame>

We hope that this year’s event will be enjoyable for all. Please help it be fun and safe.
Please follow these instructions. The Township of Northville and the Northville Parks and Recreation Department are being very good hosts and we want to have a safe and orderly situation with the traffic at this year’s event.
First off there are 2 entrances to the park. One is on Beck Rd and one is on 5 Mile Rd. The girls teams will be closer to their fields if they use the Beck Rd. parking and the Boys teams will be closer to their fields if they use the 5 Mile entrance. That being said, the Boys parking will fill up before the Beck road parking so you may be told to go to the Beck Rd parking when the other parking is filled.
Girls Teams enter Beck Rd Entrance!
Boys teams enter 5 Mile Entrance!
5 Mile parking will fill up first!
Parking is limited so parking passes will again be used. Please only bring cars with a pass to the event. There is parking close by to drop off extra cars. The church immediately to the North of the park on Beck road can also be used for parking. The Home Depot south of the park on 5 Mile rd can hold some cars as well. There are some businesses on Technology Drive to the east of the park off Beck Rd than could also be used for overflow parking.
A suggestion is to drop off the cars before coming into the park. If you want to drop off players you need to do it at the Beck Rd parking lot.
Please help us by following these simple rules. There will be parking assistants in the parking areas to help you get to where you need to be.
Anyone treating the parking assistants rudely may not be allowed next year.
The 7v7 field numbers are different than the Northville Park Field Numbers.
Thanks. I hope to see you there.
Clark Bell, President
