In the second session, athletes will battle in a group-play style round-robin format. The winners of each group will face off in a head-to-head best of 5 playoffs. Officiated by US Lacrosse-sanctioned referees and all competitions will be recorded for recruiting highlight purposes. The winners of each division will receive a FREE automatic bid to FOANS23 next December as well as the coveted FOA Cascade helmet trophies. Registration is now LIVE.
