M.A.P.S

The Maryland State Lacrosse Coaches’ Association (MSLCA) is excited to announce some pre-Covid changes to what was formerly the FREESTATE Tryouts. In 2019 the MSLCA sponsored the Freestate MID-ATLANTIC PROSPECT SHOWCASE (M.A.P.S.). Similar to the FREESTATE tryouts this progressive SHOWCASE event featured game play giving each individual player the opportunity to showcase their talents for the evaluators and college coaches. This year’s MSLCA Freestate MID-ATLANTIC PROSPECT SHOWCASE are open to any interested player in the 2022, 2023, and 2024 classes. The Freestate MID-ATLANTIC PROSPECT SHOWCASE is NOT limited to players from Maryland high schools. Any interested player may register; this includes players from neighboring DC, VA, PA, DE as well as players that may be coming into the area for other lacrosse events.

The MSLCA Freestate MID-ATLANTIC PROSPECT SHOWCASE will accept player nominations from high school coaches as well as club coaches. The nomination process is free and easy!

This year’s MID-ATLANTIC PROSPECT SHOWCASE will offer two different divisions. The 2023/2024 Division is for any uncommitted players in the 2023 or 2024 classes. With the new recruiting rules this is a can’t miss event for any 2023/2024 player serious about playing in college. The 2022 Division will be focused on uncommitted players in the 2020 class. The 2022 Division will have a heavy emphasis as a D2/D3 Showcase as well as DI coaches still looking to fill out their recruiting classes. With the later start (9/1) to the recruiting calendar and the Covid pandemic this is a prime oppornity for the Class of 2022 uncommitted players to be seen by college coaches.

The Freestate MID-ATLANTIC PROSPECT SHOWCASE is a can’t miss event for any Mid-Atlantic player looking to play in college.

Similar to the former Freestate Tryouts the MID-ATLANTIC PROSPECT SHOWCASE will offer each player with a day one showcase with the opportunity to get invited back for a second SHOWCASE featuring the best players from Day 1 in the  M.A.P.S. SELECT Games.

All registered players will receive a tryout jersey to be worn throughout the entire process.
