Four years in planning, and worth the wait! The 2008 tournament is the first of its kind on the tropical paradise of Jamaica! Be one of the first to say, "Yes, I've been to the Jamaica Tournament!" by signing up today. We have it all figured out for you; from booking flights, hotel, airport transportation, field transportation, and even your meals!
Understanding that planning such a trip can be time consuming we have designed this site to be a one stop shopping experience. Not only can you register your team, but you'll be able to contact our exclusive Travel Agent Partner, Lacrosse Travel; book team or individual site seeing tours through Chukka Caribbean Adventures; and even download information about Jamaica. Forming these strategic partnerships allows you to really customize your individual/group trip.
The tournament takes place over 3 days: December 5, 6, and 7th. Each team will play at least one game per day with the final schedule based on the number of entered teams. We have room for a total of 40 teams in all divisions combined and are planning on a round-robin format with consolation games. This first year will feature Men's & Women's Elite Open Divisions and Men's Masters, Grand Masters, and Super Masters Divisions. You must turn the appropriate age during 2008 to play in the selected Masters Division.
Not "Just another Tournament"
Jamaica is a rich tropical paradise and a perfect escape in December but that's not the only reason for
planning this event. The overall goal of the tournament is to assist the local economy sustain itself. Our initial focus is on providing support and supplies to the Marcus Garvey Technical High School. Over the long term (yes we plan on making this an annual event) our goal is to facilitate the donation of school supplies for teachers, PE equipment for the students, offer an annual "free lacrosse clinic", and offer any additional support that we can. We are currently in the process of educating the school leadership about the traditions and history of lacrosse. We welcome your suggestions and assistance as we strive to make a difference globally.
I have no doubt that you will enjoy your time in Jamaica. The people, the culture, the food, and the scenery combine for the ultimate experience.
