2 ABOUT THE VAIL LACROSSE SHOOTOUT The annual Vail Lacrosse Shootout, now in its 45th year, is the premier lacrosse event in the country, drawing more than 13,000 lacrosse players, coaches, tournament staff, officials and fans from all geographic regions of the country, as well as Canada. The vast majority of Shootout attendees are in the 18 to 35 age group. The various age & gender divisions of the Shootout take place over nine days at approximately six venues in beautiful Vail, Colorado during the 4th of July holiday. Part of the allure of the Shootout, besides the outstanding caliber of lacrosse and the festive mood that the 4th of July promotes, is the vacation paradise that Vail offers. Every year, tens of thousands of people vacation in the summertime in beautiful Vail, Colorado. On and around the 4th of July holiday the Town of Vail and surrounding areas are booked to capacity with summer tourists from all over the world. As a sponsor, you are not only impacting the lacrosse community around the nation, but also the extremely large number of travelers in affluent Vail. The Rocky Mountains and this high end destination resort community provide a remarkable atmosphere that very few sporting events anywhere in the world can offer. You will be able to capture this wonderful setting for your company and product. Lacrosse, the fastest game on two feet, is one of the fastest growing sports across the country with more than 800,000 participants nationwide. The majority of lacrosse players and fans tend to be active, affluent, college graduates. Lacrosse and its followers are a concentrated, quality market. Sponsoring the finest lacrosse tournament in the nation will enable your company to reach an expanding, untapped, upscale, educated, national market.
