The Event
The US Open is the third stop on the National Lacrosse Tour and the last proving ground before the Tour Championship at Champ Camp. Presented by the National Lacrosse Tour, the US Open High School is not just a tournament. It is a full-scale lacrosse experience that blends elite competition, positional training, Division I coaching, and player development programming into one weekend that can change the trajectory of a player’s recruiting future.
Every player who steps on the field at the US Open has earned their invitation. Spots are limited. Rosters are set. The competition is real.
Event Format
The US Open features four teams of 18 players, built by position:
4 Attackmen · 5 Midfielders · 2 Faceoff Specialists · 5 Defenders · 2 Goalies
GRAD YEARS: 2029 & 2030
Coaching
Every high school player at the US Open receives hands-on coaching from Division I college coaches. These are not observers in the stands. They are on the field, running sessions, coaching games, and evaluating talent up close. The coaches on the sideline are the same coaches building rosters at the highest level of college lacrosse. This is where the recruiting conversation starts.
What to Expect
Wednesday, June 23 — Media Day, Training and Competition
The event opens Tuesday morning with Media Day and positional training sessions led by Division I college coaches. Each athlete is individually spotlighted during Media Day and content is captured and added directly to their player profile page. Round robin play begins in the afternoon and runs into the evening, with seminars scheduled throughout the day covering topics including recruiting, mental performance, and media.
Thursday, June 24 — Bracket Play and Seminars
