From Press Release

Attention all lacrosse players seeking to compete on the international level in grad years 2016, 2017 and 2018:

Last year, we introduced an international battle between Team Stars and Stripes (USA) vs. Team Maple Leafs (Canada). The excitement and competition was so keen that the demand to expand this experience has been overwhelming.

This summer, Team Stars and Stripes will once again compete against Team Maple Leafs. Team Israel has now contacted us and confirmed they also would like to compete.

Due to demand, we are further considering having players elect to play for Team Shamrocks (Ireland) and Team Gladiators (Italy) as we assemble the international field to compete.

Due to the interest in maintaining the quality of the evaluation process, we will need to limit each tryout location to 250 players per tryout location. When location sites are filled, you will not be able to register to tryout.

One of last year’s victorious Stars & Stripes teams

The list of location evaluators and Team Stars and Stripes coaches will be released shortly.

This is not a college recruiting event, but it is expected to have a strong turnout of college coaches attend and we will provide college coaches player information.

Tryouts for the Team Stars and Stripes, Team Shamrocks and Team Gladiators will take place in select venues throughout the Eastern US.

After the rosters are selected, the teams will compete on July 27-28th in a fantastic international competition in upstate, NY.

Regional Tryout Dates:
June 11th – New Jersey @ Madison High School
June 14th – Westchester/Ct @ Choate
June 18th – Mid Atlantic Region @ Shipley – Pa/Md
July 2nd – Long Island @ Mitchel Athletic Park, Long Island

Regional Per Try-out Fee: $125

Video Option: All games will be filmed for purchase / All games MAY be used for evaluation.

Link to try-out: https://natinvite175.sportngin.com/register/form/110523126

What will you major in/study? Business/ Engineering

Why did you choose Furman? “Furman University allows me the opportunity to get an excellent education, while playing in a great lacrosse program. The campus is absolutely beautiful and I have loved getting to know the coaches over this past year.”

Thoughts on the season? “We lost to our rival team Kell in the State Championship. This is the second year we’ve lost to them and we are ready to get revenge next year. We beat Blessed Trinity in the semi-finals with a last second goal. Our team improved dramatically over the course of the season with our stick skills and playing as a team.”

Thank You: Crista Samaras (XTEAM Coach): “Thank you for always pushing me, even when I don’t know if I have anything left. And thanks for always inspiring me to reach for my dreams, knowing that if I fail I can just get back up.”

Jay Watts (High School Coach): “Thank you for being the first coach to believe in me and for spending many hours at our school field throwing and shooting with me.”

My Parents, Martie and Dennis Zakas: “Thank you for supporting me at every sporting event and allowing me the opportunity to play at many camps and tournaments.”

My siblings, Virginia, Page, and Ned Zakas: “Thank you for being such a great support group and always pushing me to be the best athlete possible. Your athletic accomplishments inspire me every day.”

Other schools considered: Temple University

From US Lacrosse

US Lacrosse today announced the 108-player tryout pool for the 2016 U.S. Men’s National Under-19 Team, with tryouts to be held from June 29-July 1 at Stevenson University in Owings Mills, Md.

After the three-day tryout, approximately 50 players will be selected to return for a second tryout Aug. 7-9 at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Md. Ultimately, 23 players will be named to the final roster for the Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) World Championship, July 7-16, 2016, in Coquitlam, British Columbia.

In February, US Lacrosse announced Ohio State University head coach Nick Myers as head coach of the U.S. Men’s Under-19 National Team. Myers will lead the team in its quest for an eighth consecutive world title at the FIL World Championship, and will be assisted by Patrick Myers (University of Pennsylvania), Chuck Ruebling (Delbarton School) and Peter Toner (Penn State University).

Nearly 400 applicants from 28 states applied for consideration to the tryout pool, including more than 140 commits to 2015 NCAA Division I tournament teams. From there, a diverse group of high school and college coaches from around the country assisted the coaching staff in evaluating and ranking each player.

The 108-player tryout pool, by position with high school, college commitment and high school graduation year noted:
