The Diamond Lacrosse Showcase will be held at St. Paul's School in Brooklandville, MD on November 22 & 23, 2008. It will feature the top 120 male high school lacrosse players in the country.
Players will be showcased to the top college lacrosse coaches in the nation. Admittance is by invitation only. Players may be nominated by their high school or club coach. All applicants will be reviewed by the Diamond Showcase selection committee. A limited number of players at each position will be invited to participate in this event.
Players will be put through a series of speed, strength and agility tests. The tests will be scored by certified athletic trainers. The results of all tests will be provided to all college coaches in attendance.
Players will participate in game like lacrosse drills. These drills will be run by current coaches and players. Players will not be scored in these events but college coaches will be invited to watch and perform their own evaluations.
Players will also compete in four full field games. Games will be played on two adjacent fields. Games will be coached by current coaches. The goal will be to achieve equal playing time for players at each position. No scores will be kept. The entire purpose of the games will be to compete in front of the college coaches against the top high school players in the nation.
All Aloha Tournament venues are smoke free and pet free events. Please be respectful of others.
