WASHINGTON, D.C. – LacrossePlayground.com is proud to announce its signature event, LacrossePlayground.com Spring Classic Presented by Motive Pure. The inaugural event will be held in the iconic Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium on the Naval Academy’s campus. The remarkable venue will host six high-action Men and Women’s high school lacrosse games.

The LacrossePlayground.com Spring Classic is a two-day (March 23-24th) affair with some of the best talent in the country participating as #1 ranked Haverford School rounds out the group. The 12 teams represent the District of Columbia and four states, including Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and Ohio.

“Playing at Navy Marine Corp Stadium is such an honor for our kids, coaches and program,” says Gonzaga Head Coach Casey O’Neill. “To suit up and play in such a wonderful and historic venue will be a memory these young men hold forever.

Landon Assistant Coach J.R. Bordley adds, “Landon is thrilled to participate in the LacrossePlayground.com Spring Classic in Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium; certainly one of the finest venues in all of collegiate sports.
