All News
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.—3d Lacrosse, the nation’s premiere lacrosse training and events company, kicked off the New Year by crowing nine champions at the first ever Desert Hustle Presented by New Balance held Jan. 9 and 10 just outside of Phoenix.
Featuring six boys brackets and three girls divisions, the Desert Hustle drew more than 50 teams in total to Arizona for a first-year event featuring more than 30 boys teams competing at the Scottsdale Sports Complex and more than 20 girls teams at the Quail Run Sports Complex.
“It was great to start off the year by providing the opportunity for these teams and athletes to get out on the field and compete for the weekend,” said Mike Bartlett, 3d Lacrosse’s Director of Events.
“We were pleased to see such a high level of play and there’s a real sense that the athletes cherish any chance they have to play together. Our 3d events team takes pride in hosting world-class lacrosse tournaments and this event really set a high bar in the first year.”
At each facility, social distancing and safety measures were in place as teams competed on a limited number of fields and in designated time blocks, limiting the number of athletes, coaches and spectators at the facilities at any one time.
Championship squads were presented commemorative Desert Hustle neck gaiters featuring the event logo.
“It’s been a challenging time, but we’re grateful to work with professional facility operators and local leaders to be able to offer lacrosse opportunities in compliance with all the necessary safety requirements,” Bartlett said.
