EVENT QUESTIONS
THIS ACCORDIAN WILL NOT SHOW PLEASE LEAVE BLANK
For most events, we require that players bring a full set of protective equipment.
For boys, this includes helmet, gloves, elbow pads, shoulder pads, stick, mouth guard, rib pads (recommended), protective cup (recommended), sneakers, and/or cleats.
For girls, this includes goggles, mouth guard, stick, sneakers, and/or cleats.
This varies depending on the event. We offer everything from beginner youth camps to elite-level high school recruiting events. If you are unsure of the skill level of a given event, please reach out to director@truenationevents.com, and we will be happy to help clarify!
In the weeks leading up to the event, we will announce what colleges have committed to attending our event. Please note that this is subject to change, and if there is a specific school that you would like to know about, it is best to reach out to their coaching staff directly.
True Nation Events will have medical supervision that is compliant with US Lacrosse and local regulations at all events.
While some events may include a discounted room rate with a partner hotel, you are welcome to find any accommodations that suit you best.
If you are currently at a tournament/event, please check in with the staff at the information area/tent. If the event has already concluded, It is unlikely that True Nation has your lost item, but you can always reach out to us at director@truenationevents.com
This will depend on the specific venue. Please check the specific event page, reach out to the venue, or reach out to director@truenationevents.com for more information.
True Nation chooses venues that have ample parking. If parking is not directly on-site, event staff and signage will be there to direct traffic.
True Nation does not charge for parking. There may be 3rd-party paid parking options surrounding a venue.
REGISTRATION/PAYMENT QUESTIONS
THIS ACCORDIAN WILL NOT SHOW PLEASE LEAVE BLANK
Registering is easy! Just navigate to the event page on truenationevents.com and click on your grad year/division to begin the process. We’ve partnered with LeagueApps for our registration portal, so don’t be alarmed when you are taken to an external website for registration. If you have registered for an event of ours in the past, your information will be saved in the account associated with your email address.
This can be located in your LeagueApps account.
With True Nation Events being predominantly for True Lacrosse Teams/Players, we typically avoid “Free Agent” registration for team events. However, if your child plays for True Lacrosse and would like to participate in a True Nation Event that their program is not currently registered to play in, please reach out to director@truenationevents.com directly, and we will work with you to find a solution.
This depends on the specific event. If you are curious about your status for a specific event, please contact director@truenationevents.com
Players are permitted to play up a grad year, but not down. For example, a team that has players graduating in both 2023 and 2024 would have to play in the 2023 division.
Most True Nation Events are specifically for True Lacrosse Teams and their players, but eligibility varies depending on the event. For example, youth players are not eligible for high school events and vice versa. More information about this can be found on each specific event page. Players are required to be registered with US Lacrosse.
You need a valid US Lacrosse number in order to play lacrosse for most events you participate in. This is mandatory for our TEAM club programs and is needed by the first day of practice. It is only a $35 annual membership for high school players (under the player or parent tab, you will see the membership option). You can find more about your member benefits through US Lacrosse here. Please contact USL if you have any questions about registering for a membership at 410-235-6882 ext. 102.
Please reach out to director@truenationevents.com with any questions or issues regarding your registration.
We typically do not offer refunds for registrants who have missed events, but if you know that you will be unable to attend an event in advance, please let us know as soon as possible and we will do our best to work with you. All refund requests will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
True Nation Events will always do our best to avoid cancellations due to weather, but in cases where it is unavoidable, partial/full refunds may be offered. Please contact director@truenationevents.com if you have any questions about a specific event.
We only accept payment through LeagueApps. If this will prevent you from attending a True Nation event, please contact director@truenationevents.com and we will find a way to work with you.
