Homegrown Lacrosse

Join us for our fourth annual spring preseason scrimmage event which works to bring together 24 boys varsity, and 12  boys junior varsity and prep teams, as well as 6 girls varsity teams to compete and reconnect as a community before the regular season starts up.

The goal of the event is to help teams prepare for the regular season, bring the lacrosse community together as well as support a great cause. All proceeds from the event benefit Homegrown Lacrosse's Inner-City and In-School P.E. programming. 

• Boys J.V. / Prep: Saturday April 6, 2013
• Girls Varsity: Saturday April 6, 2013
• Boys Varsity : Saturday April 13, 2013

"The Meltdown is a great opportunity for high school programs to fine tune their systems and rosters before the HS season begins."

- Coach Chris Fleck (Prior Lake)

"I couldn’t be more excited for this year's Meltdown.  Coaches, players, and fans alike not only have the opportunity to watch a great day of HS lacrosse, but provides a venue for the entire lacrosse community to come together in one location. It truly shows the growth and excitement around Minnesota lacrosse."

- Coach Rob Horn (St. Thomas University, Minnesota Elite Lacrosse)
