Liberty National Elite Classic - Event Overview
We pride ourselves on hosting elite events at elite venues and delivering the total lacrosse experience. In 2017, the Victory Event Series delivered the inaugural Liberty National Elite Classic, a new national elite summer event to the top club teams in the country.
In 2024, the Liberty National Elite Classic featured 90 elite teams over two days, showcasing talent in front of 100+ college coaches onsite and online via Event Beacon. One of the highlights of the tournament is the format, which ensures teams in each division advance to bracket play on Sunday. In 2024, top clubs such as West Coast Starz, ADVNC PNW, Freedom, True Baltimore, Burning River, and True OH highlighted a star-studded list of teams that will only continue to ascend in 2025!
