Two exciting new elements have been added to the High Peaks Summit Classic in its second year. First, there’s the skills competitions. Something new and different that’ll be fun to watch. Then there’s the fact that teams can now qualify for a spot at the Lake Placid Summit Classic in August by winning the tournament.
The High Peaks Summit Classic is a reincarnation of the longstanding August event and takes place at the front end of the summer, June 23-34. The tournament even includes an MLL 2-point arc. Kevin Leveille, former Team USA captain, and his awesome team at Summit Lacrosse Ventures direct both events.
Skills Competitions: Make A Name For Yourself
