Original target audience demographic
(where were people coming from or
where were you marketing)
We invite lacrosse teams from as many geographic areas of the country as
possible, striving to have a good representation of teams across the
country. We generally have some Canadian players on team rosters. Our
goal is to include some international teams, if possible.
Current target audience demographic.This year, we're excited to include a team from Australia in our Women's
Elite Div. In our Men's Elite Division, teams will include players from the
northeast (New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Dartmouth, Bucknell,
Yale), the southeast (Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carlina, UNC,
Mercer, Lenoir-Rhyne), and Texas. In our HS Boys Division, teams will
include players from the midwest (Chicago (Loyola Academy & New Trier
HS), Indianapolis (Cathedral & Hamilton Southeastern), St. Louis, Illinois
and Indiana, California, the mid-atlantic area, including Baltimore, and
Utah. In each of our divisions, we'll have several teams consisting of
players from Colorado, including teams whose players are alumni from CU,
DU, and CC.
Original Event Location We'll be using the field at Ford Park, Vail Athletic Field, Vail Mountain
School, Donovan Park, Homestake Peak School Stadium field and possibly
the Eagle Vail field.
Current Event Location Our field locations remain as originally planned -- Ford Park, Vail Athletic
Field, Vail Mountain School, Donovan Park, Homestake Peak School

Recreation District to secure specific field reservations.
Describe and changes that are being
made to the event as proposed in your
RFP.
Since submittal of our RFP, we've added an Australian team in our
women's elite division (collegiate and post collegiate, club players). We
also recently added to our men's masters division (age 30 and up) a team
of alumni players from the Denver Outlaws. We're excited about the
addition of these international and former professional lacrosse players to
our event. Also, this year we are also focusing on vending our own
tournament logo'd apparel and other lacrosse related merchandise at the
Ford Park in Vail and Freedom Park in Edwards venues. We've created a
special Vail Lacrosse Shootout 50th anniversary logo for merchandise.
Many of this year's teams will include this logo on their team jerseys.
