The National Tournament began in 1933 as a tournament to showcase the best post-collegiate and club women’s lacrosse players. Since that time, it has grown into one of the largest women’s lacrosse events in the nation. It is a true celebration of women’s lacrosse and continues to represent the heartbeat of the game. Tournament highlights include division championships, a U.S. Team exhibition, an annual high school all-star game and a premier recruiting opportunity for high school players.
US Lacrosse has activated the 2014 player tryout process. The link provided is to be used by High School Girls Varsity Lacrosse Coaches. This link should be provided to your players who you have nominated to tryout for the Lower New England Schoolgirls Division Team. Lower New England will send 5 teams to the National Tournament to be held Memorial Day weekend in Maryland. Important Instructions are detailed below:
1) HS Coaches have been provided with a link for players to register BEFORE tryouts. Tryouts will be open to all Girls’ High School Varsity players and as well as club players with approved waivers or from approved scholastic club teams (see All-American process). All players’ will go online and enter their personal information (for the roster form and the college profile book) at this time. Registration will be on a first come first serve basis.
2) Following 2 days of tryouts, players are selected to a regional team. The sub-regional selection chairs will go online and place the registrants on final sub-regional teams.

GROTON MA – Mass Bay Girls Lacrosse League (MBGLL) and Eastern Massachusetts Girls Lacrosse Coaches Association (EMGLCA) are pleased to announce the 2015 New England Youth & High School Women’s Lacrosse Coaches’ Convention scheduled on March 1 from 9a – 12p at the Governor’s Academy Athletic Complex in Byfield MA. 12 speakers from the East Coast are converging on Massachusetts to participate in this annual event. It is a fantastic opportunity for those coaches from New England who are unable to travel to the US Lacrosse National Convention to learn from some of the best trainers in women’s lacrosse.
Jodi Blackburn of Montrose School says, “It is a must-see for coaches in the area!”
The speakers include Abby Burbank (US Lacrosse Trainer) – Making Skills Training Fun, Fun, Fun!; Jodi Blackburn (Montrose School) – At Your Fingertips, Resources for Coaches; Laura Darby McNally (US Lacrosse Sports, Science & Safety Committee; Middlesex School) – Injury Trends in Girls Lacrosse: Emphasis on ACL Prevention & Concussions; Courtney Farrell (Tufts University) – Between the Lines: The Transition and the Ride; Rich Fulvie (Wolfpack & Rewards School of Lacrosse) How to Train a Goalie; Harvard University Coach TBA – Offensive Motion and Shooting; Joe Kacevich (Central Mass Club Lacrosse) – Organizing a Great Practice Plan; Emily Kiablick (Wheaton College) – Zone Defense in Ride and Settled Positions; Joanna Lingnelli (US Lacrosse & PCA Trainer; STX Key Account Director) – The Draw and 3 v 3 Circle Tips; Roberta McLain (US Lacrosse Women’s Game Committee, Governor’s Academy) Early Recruitment in High School Athletes: Stemming the Race for Younger “Commits”; Michelle Smith (Babson College) – Attacking Principles and Basic Offensive Movements; Rick Terrio (Fitchburg State College) – Coaching from U9 through College: Progress at Each Level
Christine Habermann, Executive Director of MBGLL, states “Every year at the US Lacrosse National Convention I learn so many tips and tricks that have helped me to improve my coaching, officiating, and league administrative skills. Several years ago I discussed with the Eastern Massachusetts Chapter of US Lacrosse (EMASS) the possibility of hosting a conference in our area so that all coaches have a similar opportunity for learning. At our November Eastern Massachusetts Chapter Meeting I was able to connect with Annie Pugh, a representative from EMGLCA, and we put together this amazing convention for our coaches. Our goal is to eventually grow this event to include an exhibition game as well as the entire New England Lacrosse Community, including women’s college coaches, the men’s game coaches and lacrosse officials. ”
Annie Pugh of EMGLCA states “We are thankful to have sponsors such as EMASS, STX, and Governor’s Academy to help support the efforts of MBGLL and EMGLCA. It takes the efforts of so many different organizations and individuals to make a lacrosse convention a success.”
