The tournament of ALL tournaments is back for year three.

That’s right friends. It’s Lacrosse Dodgeball time.

This year's Throwdown Showdown will be even bigger and better than last year's battle.

About: A staple of Homegrown Lacrosse camps since 2005 (and future highlight of the Olympic games - just give it time), Lacrosse Dodgeball requires the cat like speed and reflexes of a ninja, brute strength of a North Country lumberjack and tennis ball handling skills of a Williams sister.

With a new venue, expand number of teams (16) and the added dimension of a "Decathlon," this year's Throwndown Showdown will work test each team's depth and cohesiveness.

Dodgeballers will have the opportunity to stick around to watch the home-town Gophers face-off against the newly MCLA sanctioned Badgers in the UMLL's first official border battle.

Think you got what it takes to knock-off the defending champs from Eden Prarie? Only one way to find out....
