After a one-year hiatus because of the pandemic, the Vail Lacrosse Shootout is back in 2021. The Vail lacrosse tournament has plenty of history dating back decades, and it’s with warmth that we welcome this staple of lax summer back into the fold.
2021 Vail Lacrosse Shootout
Day 1
Lacrosse veterans and fans returned to Vail again after a long 2020 without a
Shootout. Day 1 of the 49th annual Vail Lacrosse Shootout kicked off with men 40
and over. The Supermasters (40+), Grandmasters (50+), and Zenmasters (60+)
played their first games since 2019. In an action-packed day, spectators witnessed
two overtime games. The men will take some much-needed rest tonight and pick
up with bracket play tomorrow. The U19 Girls and Boys will also take to the fields
with the Shootout’s most active day of the tournament.

Day 2
The second day of the 2021 Vail Lacrosse Shootout was a busy one. Almost 50 games were played across five divisions with players’ ages ranging from the teens to sexagenarians. The Boys and Girls U19 teams kicked off their divisions with pool play to determine seeding.
Meanwhile, the older men’s divisions held semi-final games. The Statesmen are looking for a repeat of the sweep across three divisions they had in 2019, with their Supermaster, Grandmaster and Zenmaster teams all making a championship appearance yet again. The Zenmasters will start the day with Eldest Statesmen facing Los Abuelos de Tejas in the championship. After that, Grandmasters will take the field and see who is number one between Eldest Statesmen and EMW. Finally, the Supermasters championship should not be missed, with a rematch of last year’s nail biter final between Elder Statesmen and Magic Wands.
