At LaxNOVA Events, our mission is to support the Northern Virginia lacrosse community by providing high-quality, local events designed specifically for Recreational and High School teams. Our focus is on creating opportunities that help teams, coaches, and players develop their skills, grow the game, and build camaraderie. We believe that competition is more than just a game—it’s a tool for learning, improving, and strengthening the bonds that make lacrosse special. Most importantly, we believe in our motto:
"Lacrosse is meant to be FUN!"
Our annual events serve as valuable tools for teams to prepare for their seasons:
-
NOVA Fall Brawl 7v7 Tournament – An annual tradition since 2002, this fast-paced, small-sided tournament is a one-of-a-kind event that brings together players as young as six through high school. The 7v7 format promotes quick decision-making, increased touches, and a fun, competitive environment where developing players can learn from experienced athletes. For many, the Fall Brawl is a rite of passage, marking the start of their lacrosse journey and continuing through high school graduation.
-
Winter Thaw Play Day – The final off-season event before the spring season kicks off, Winter Thaw is a critical tune-up for high school teams and players looking to refine their game before tryouts and competition. It’s an opportunity for younger athletes to showcase their progress and for teams to strengthen their chemistry before the season begins.
At LaxNOVA Events, we are committed to supporting local lacrosse by providing structured, well-organized events that enhance player development and team success.
As a thank you to the community, we always provide complimentary event photography at each tournament, ensuring that players, families, and teams can relive and share their favorite moments free of charge.
We strive to improve our events every year, always keeping our focus on helping local players, coaches, and teams grow together. Thank you for making LaxNOVA Events part of your lacrosse journey—we’ll see you on the field!
🚀 Remember: "Lacrosse is meant to be FUN!" 🚀
