The Garden State Cup is based off a storied tradition for New Jersey lacrosse. For many years the Garden State Games (or Garden State Challenge Games) featured the best players and coaches in New Jersey, competing for their regional teams in a championship tournament (similar to today's Nike and Under Armour games but at the state level).
We are excited to be bringing this format back to NJ and to once again feature the best of New Jersey lacrosse! The format is basically as follows:
1) Sign up to tryout for your regional team
2) Attend tryouts on June 16th in your region*
3) Players who are selected to the team or as alternates will be notified to register for their team
4) The four regional teams compete at Rutgers University on July 20-21st to see who comes away with the Garden State Cup!
**Film is included for tryouts to use as it's own recruiting tool! So even if you don't make the team, you have some on-field experience with a great coaching staff and competitive film to use for recruiting purposes.
WHO ARE THE COACHES?
Coaches for these teams so far include Tim Flynn (Mountain Lakes), Matt Kovachik (Delbarton), Jim Davidson (Summit), Mike Vergalito (Hunterdon Central), Sal Tramonda (Morristown Beard), Mike Webster (Pingry), Sean Cunningham (Manasquan), JC Valore (St. Augustine), Bill Sutphin (Lenape), and many more!
