2023 4V4 JAMBOREE

Not only did Santa Claus travel to Laney College Football Stadium on Sunday, December 14th, 2023, but so did 41 lacrosse teams—all ready to participate in our third annual 4v4 Jamboree. Clouds covered the sky yet players hailed from all over the Bay Area. Over 200 players from U10 to High School Varsity showcased their skills on the small-sided fields, weaving a tapestry of clever picks, trick shots, and new moves they’ve been waiting for the opportunity to try.

For the first three games, teams took to the field with their registered teammates. For their last two games, players were divided by age group and mixed together, creating new teams with youth from diverse backgrounds, clubs, schools, and skillsets. This resulted in a unique atmosphere that celebrated the love of the game.

This event embodied the inclusivity and diversity that the Bay Area prides itself on; the 4v4 Jamboree allowed players to forge connections with people they might not have met otherwise. Despite the challenging weather conditions, the event was a tremendous success, leaving a lasting impact on all who participated. The the final whistles sounded and players dispersed as the rain persisted. The day may be over but the spirit of the 4v4 Jamboree lingers on. Anticipation mounts for the forthcoming year's tournament where we will once again embrace the magic of our larger lacrosse community.
