Park City Ski Town Shoot Out

Thank You to everybody that participated in another great PC Shootout. We look forward to seeing you all back in 2011.

2011 Dates TBD

Despite fast growth in the sport across the Western U.S., youth lacrosse teams have been hard-pressed to find tournaments within convenient travel distance. To meet this need, the Utah Lacrosse Association (ULA) launched the Ski Town Shoot Out in 2005.

Park City, Utah is the high-altitude site for a high-action youth jamboree (Dates TBD). The boys bracket action takes place at Park City's renowned Ecker Hill complex, which boast some of the state’s best-maintained playing fields. The main boys venue - elevation 6,300 feet - is near Interstate 80, only 35 minutes' drive from Salt Lake International Airport, offering convenient access for all teams. The main girls and womens venue Willow Creek complex.

The boys tournament has three brackets with between 6 and 35 teams participating in the 3/4th, 5/6th and 7/8th grade groups. Each boys team has a five-game schedule. Generally the schedule provides one game on Thursday afternoon and two each on Friday and Saturday.

The girls tournament has two brackets - 7/8th and 9-11th. Each girls team has a four-game schedule. The women's bracket has a four-game schedule. The girls and women's brackets play during the day Friday and Saturday.

Games are one hour long. You will be able to find detailed rules, procedures and other information on the tournament web site soon.

Boys -  $215 non-refundable team fee and $40 per player. Five-game schedule. Team deposit/registration due by May 21, 2010.  For players in grades 3-8.

Girls - $215 non-refundable team fee and $36 per player. Four-game schedule. Team deposit/registration due by May 21, 2010.

Women's - $215 non-refundable team fee and $36 per player. Four-game schedule. Team deposit/registration due by May 21, 2010.

For boys teams flying in early, we have game slots Thursday afternoon and early evening. Sunset is about 9:00 pm so there’s plenty of light.

Most games take place on Friday and Saturday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. The tournament organizers will do their best to schedule games so that teams have uninterrupted time to enjoy Park City.

Due to an anticipated sell-out of the tournament, field availability will be at a premium.  While the organizers will attempt to accommodate requests for add-on "challenge" games, we cannot guarantee these optional contests can be supported.

SPORTSMANSHIP
The Ski Town Shoot Out is predicated on sportsmanship and camaraderie. According to one participating coach, "this tournament has a spirit and soul that make it special."

Celebrate the Game with us. In our opening ceremonies, players from each team participate in the "Running of the Balls," building a multicolored lacrosse ball pyramid. Each level of the pyramid represents the people involved in the game. The base is your teammates, followed by coaches, officials, opponents, and family.

Throughout the event, we ask all participants to instill in the players a sense of honor, respect, and appreciation for the roots of the game.
