Guardian National Announces Dates for 2015

Posted By on November 24, 2014

Over 150 goalies from across the country will be converging on the Spooky Nook Sports Center in Manheim, PA, on July 27-30, 2015 to take part in the second annual Guardian National Championships.  The Guardian National Championship, an invite only event, brings together the best lacrosse goalies from across the country to compete against each other and display their skills in front of 50 plus Division I, II and III college coaches.

The inaugural 2014 event was the largest goalie specific showcase in any sport, on any level.  The Guardian National Championship was also the first lacrosse event to utilize the Batak Pro machine to test the reaction time, peripheral vision, hand eye co-ordination, and stamina of the goalies under simulated game conditions.  The 2015 Guardian National Championship will choose the Top 22 goaltenders from each graduation year (2019, 2018, 2017, and 2016).
