Come one, come all, to the first ever Beach Lacrosse Tournament in the Midwest, sponsored by STX Fiddle Sticks and presented by Northstar Lacrosse!  Lacrosse is a summer sport, and this summer we plan to host event where the game is stripped down to the elements of sticks, balls and beautiful weather!  Check out the information below, click on the Google Maps link for directions and, most importantly, sign up today before the tournament fills up!  Oh and one more thing, the 2013 STX Beach Bash is CO-ED, so load up the boat, lather on the sun screen and bring the whole crew down to Lord Fletcher's on Lake Minnetonka in Wayzata for some Lax on the Lake! It is not a requirement to have girls or guys on your team. 

The $160 fee covers:

Field Reservation, Fiddlesticks, Jersey's (Bro Tanks for days!!), Registration, Referees, and the Corono Team Members!
