Lake Placid Summit Classic Lacrosse

Lake Placid Summit Classic LAX Tournament

The event began with a modest 7-team field in 1990 playing 14 total games and began doubling in size on an annual basis. After 36 years, the event has evolved into a week-long event with more than 200 teams from all over the United States, featuring boys, girls, men, and women, ranging in age from 14-70+.
