ReLAXin' at the Complex

Lacrosse Invades the Smith River Sports Complex

The Smith River Sports Complex has caught Lacrosse fever! In 2013, we have already hosted one lax tourney, the Pomerstone Classic held April 12-14, and we are gearing up to host 7 more tourneys throughout the rest of the year!




Coming up very soon is the Hammerhead Frenzy which will be held June 1-2. Two other summer tournaments include the Cardinal Cup with boys teams from U11-U18 on June 29-30, and the Martinsville Summer Madness, which is a college recruiting event from July 5-7.

Also in the fall, we will be hosting the Smith River Showdown, a boys and girls NCAA Division II and III recruiting tournament, the Hammerhead college club tournament, the Martinsville Melee high school boys team recruiting event, and the Cardinal Cup Fall Classic U11-U18 boys tournament.

For the Martinsville-Henry County area, lax is definitely a different kind of sport. It is sort of a mixture of football, tennis and soccer. It is a very fast-paced game that requires players' full attention, split second decisions, quick reflexes, and a great upper- and lower-body strength. 

For those of you who have never witnessed a lax event, make sure to come on out to the Smith River Sports Complex this summer and into the fall for all of our exciting events!
