The Tampa Jam
is a mens open tournament that was created in 1994 by Tampa mens
team
players Jim Shaler and Dan Rice. Over the past 10 years
the tournament has seen high caliber teams such as LaxWorld/DeWALT,
Charlotte Advantage, Orlando, Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, QC Lax,
AST, Li'l Abners, Toronto, Charleston, Great Atlantic, T-Bones, Gin
Mill, Florida State, Lincoln Park, Lakeshore, Nashville, Graduate,
Raiders, Atlanta, Southern Empire, South Jersey, Reebok, and the
Vail Lacrosse Club.
In 2004 the tournament was moved to a new facility in St Petersburg
less than one mile from the beach. The facility
includes three immaculate fields with lights and an oversized
scoreboard. The hotels and tournament parties are within
walking distance of each other on St Pete Beach, and are less than 3
miles from the tournament fields.
For the 2004
Tampa Jam the weather was a sunny 85 degrees, perfect weather for
lacrosse in February. If you are looking for a preseason
tournament with great competition, excellent fields, and beautiful
weather, you have come to the right place.
As of September
2004, 12 teams have committed to the 2005 tournament and the goal
is set for 16. |
