Blue Ridge Classic

to Jul 28

Blue Ridge Classic

IT’S NOT JUST A TRADITION, IT’S A CLASSIC!

The Blue Ridge Classic is an annual lacrosse tournament that hosts teams from all across the southeast to compete for the bragging rights of best in their division.

The Blue Ridge Classic is the longest running tournament of its kind in the southeast. When the first tournament took place in 1994 with only a few teams, opportunities to play in the region were scarce and competition even moreso. The club pulled together everyone they knew in the region and invited them to Asheville for lacrosse, libations, and laughs. Since then, the tournament has grown rapidly. Today, the Blue Ridge Classic remains an annual celebration of the lacrosse community and competition.

JOIN US

The Blue Ridge Classic takes place on the last weekend of July each year. Spots are limited, so teams are highly encouraged to register early. No tickets are required to watch, so come join in the fun!

 Blue Ridge Classic
Jul 26 - 28, 2024
Asheville, NC

The 2024 Blue Ridge Classic will be taking place July 26, 27 & 28th in Asheville, NC. This year the BRC will be evolving to move towards the model utilized by other top tier adult lacrosse tournaments. Our divisions will be mostly age based.

We will offer 5 divisions for competition this year, and they are as follows:

  • Open

  • 30+,

  • 40+

  • 50+

  • Beer division

Most of these divisions are self explanatory. The major change with the age brackets is that there will be NO age exceptions this year.

The tournament entry fee is $1200. Each team is guaranteed 4 games.

**Each player may only play for 1 team regardless of division. Any team caught violating this rule will forfeit any games in question.**

Registration will take place through sports engine/ tourney machine. Tournament spots will be filled on a first come, first serve basis. Following registration, each team must upload their roster prior to the tournament. Registration link at the end of this email
