Busy, Busy June

Wow! June was such a busy month for the Smith River Sports Complex. In the beginning of the month, we had the 3rd Annual Civil War Reenactment, Hammerhead Frenzy Youth Lacrosse Tournament, and the Delores Sullivan Kick for a Cure Soccer Tournament! Some new events came to the Complex later in the month...frisbees were thrown, faceoffs were challenged, and bags went flying. 

First up on June 22-23, the Savage Ultimate Tournament Series hosted their Old Dominion Qualifier at the Complex. The tournament featured 16 teams across 3 divisions: women's, open, and mixed. As a USA Ultimate sanctioned event, the Old Dominion Qualifier was one of three opportunities for teams to gain a spot in the Charleston Cup in August 2013. 

If you drove by or came to the Complex this past weekend, June 29-30, you would have seen TONS OF ACTION! The parking lot was packed, the fields were full, and the fun was abundant! Saturday began with the Cardinal Cup Lacrosse Classic tournament. 38 teams from all over Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina travelled to the Martinsville-Henry County area to play in games all weekend. Teams ranged in age from U11 to high school boys. The Cardinal Cup is a tournament series that hosts several youth lacrosse tournaments multiple times a year at the Complex. You can catch another Cardinal Cup event on November 2-3rd! 

Playing corn hole under the lights & on the turf!

That same night, the Smith River Sports Complex hosted their first ever self-organized tournament! The Summer Night Corn Hole Show Down was a HUGE success. We had 55 teams participating. Everyone had a great time pitching, playing, and hanging out with friends and family on the turf. It would not have been a huge success without all of our partners, so thank you!! Thanks to Board Member Tim Hall for emceeing! One more thanks to all of our staff and volunteers who helped make the event run smoothly and efficiently. Everyone keeps asking for another tournament and we hope to give you one in the fall! 

This coming weekend July 6-7, we are hosting the Martinsville Summer Madness Lacrosse Event. It's a reLAXing summer here at the Complex.
