This best of 3 game series will determine the top region for high school lacrosse in North America.

The Brogden Cup has an historic and meaningful past. According to Event Director, Joel Franklin, “The Brogden Cup dates back a generation. Prior to Major League Lacrosse, the award was presented to the North American Champion based on the outcome from the best of three game series between the two best post-collegiate club teams in the United States and Canada. Players such as Gary and Paul Gait, David Pietramala, Larry Quinn and Tom Marechek are just a few of the top players in the sport of lacrosse to have played for this prestigious award.”

This is the second year that Level 2 Sports has organized the Brogden Cup in Orlando, Florida.

The adidas National Lacrosse Classic is an annual showcase featuring some of the best high school underclassmen lacrosse players in the United States. Before players get the chance to compete in the National tournament, regional teams are designated by high school coaches through regional qualifiers. The regional qualifiers decide the field of teams on display for college coaches and fans.

High school players have made the successful transition to the college and professional levels include, John Grant, Jr (Delaware, MLL and NLL Player of the Year), Zack Greer (Dule-All-time NCAA Goals Leader), Brodie Merrill (Georgetown, Professional Lacrosse), Taylor Wray (Duke), AJ Shannon and Chris Sanderson (Virginia), Sid Smith and Cody Jamieson (Syracuse).
