• Now
entering their 9th year, the 2010 John Pepper Memorial Tournament
for boys and girls showcase the youth of the sport from the age
of 14 and younger with all tournaments showcasing the current and
future stars of high school lacrosse. This
years John Pepper Memorial Lacrosse Tournament will take place
on Sunday August 1st 2010.
The tournament was established by the Camillus Community in honor
and in memory of former West Genesee Junior Varsity lacrosse player,
John Pepper who tragically died August 30, 2001. The tournament
helps benefit the West Genesee lacrosse program and is dedicated
to the Creators gift of lacrosse, John Pepper and the enjoyment
that lacrosse gave to him.
The John Pepper Memorial Tournament for boys consists
of 20 teams in a Grade 5-6, 7-8 and 9-10 format. Sportsmanship,
respect of the game and camaraderie of all involved are of the
highest priority. The Tournaments exemplify these goals and because
of these goals, they will continue to be regarded as the “premier” lacrosse
events of the summer tournament season.
A stand-out feature of the tournament is the mid-day break featuring
special speakers and clinics which are scheduled to further educate
and enhance the skills of the players of tomorrow. In the past
we have had individuals such as legendary Cornell Lacrosse Coach
Richie Moran: former All-Americans Gary Gait, Paul Gait, Kyle Harrison,
Joe Walters, John Zulberti, Charlie Lockwood, Steven Brundage,Matt
Cassalia,and Jake Coon either speak or present a clinic for the
enthusiastic audiences and participants.
