Lax Connection is bringing teams from all across the US to New England to face off against the east coast talent and share a one of a kind lacrosse experience with new friends!

"Home" Teams from the Greater Boston area will secure playing fields in their hometown for Friday, 8/24, prior to Championship Weekend.  Here they will host corresponding age/skill level teams from around the country visiting to celebrate the sport of lacrosse and attend Championship Weekend.

"Visiting" Teams can be from anywhere in the United States, outside of the Great Boston area, who travel in teams ranging in ages/levels from U9 to U15. 

Lax Connection is not an "elite" tournament or made up of "all-star" teams.  These are YOUR Teams, from your youth programs with kids of varying skill levels who participate in any organized town/city program.  Anyone who loves to play lacrosse, enjoys meeting new people, wants to form new connections, looks to grow the game and wants to witness LIVE the final showdown of the top four MLL teams during Championship Weekend is welcome to join the "Lax Connection"!!!

Participating Teams, both "Home" and "Visitor" may register one or multiple Teams by contacting the MLL's Lax Connection manager, Michael Barba at 617-787-6638 or via email at michael.barba@majorleaguelacrosse.com

Mike will register your teams (20 players minimum per team) and secure your Championship Weekend Ticket Packages at the special Lax Connection discounted price of $30 each (that's 20% off the regular weekend package price for all three MLL playoff games!!)

Once registered, Mike will "connect" your Team (s) with corresponding programs and you can begin your "Lax Connection" Experience!

Don't miss this opportunity to have an unparalleled lacrosse and social experience with your Team!
