The cost for initial qualifying participation is $50
per player. All players will have their data inputted
into the NDP on-line data base that college coaches
will have access to.
The players will play in a series of NDP tournaments.
There will be a regional tournament October 14th for
four teams.
There will be 64 teams in each age group, divided into
four regions North, South, East, and West. There will
be two teams form North Carolina. Players must pre-register
for an NDP slection camp. Each NDP team will draw players
from approximately 30 high school teams. Each age group
will participate in local tryouts for each team. In
some areas, teams may combine their tryouts. 30 players
will make each team. Each team will have a minimum of
10 practices and participate in 3 to 4 tournaments.
In each region the teams will play in Developmental
(4 teams) (October 14th in NC), Sectional (8 teams)
(in November), and Regional (16 teams) tournaments (June
2005)..
The purpose of the NDP Lacrosse is:
• Identifying, developing and promoting elite
level high school lacrosse players.
• Improving the process for the identification
of prospects for college lacrosse programs.
• Matching the needs of elite level high school
lacrosse players with college lacrosse programs.
• Fostering the growth of lacrosse by providing
expanded opportunities for elite level high school lacrosse
players and coaches nationwide.
In the USA there are over 80,000 high school lacrosse
players. Opportunities for post-high school lacrosse
play exist in only 463 college lacrosse programs (Approximately
½ NCAA, ½ College Club). Although not
all high school lacrosse players seek to play collegiate
lacrosse, the mathmatics equates to 20,000 seniors for
5,000 college slots each year.
One goal of NDP lacrosse is to both help high school
lacrosse athletes "be seen: by collegiate coaches,
including providing a known cost to families for their
athletes to "be seen".
Most players currently "are seen" through
an expensive and time consuming series of recruiting
summer camps and recruiting services. NDP lacrosse provides
an alternative system for enabling high school lacrosse
players to "be seen" by college coaches.
Part of NDP's mission os to enable the elite player
to be identified through a consistent, comprehensive
process modeled after world and professional team evaluation
methods. The NDP tournament structure allows the elite
player trains with and competes against other players
of comparable ability under the direction of college
level coaches selected by NDP.
NDP Lacrosse believes its system is structured to be
more economical for high school athletes and their families
than the current system (see box).
According to NDP
Lacrosse many high school players participate
in all of the listed services. Many participate
in two or more of the same services. If you used
NDP to replace some of the services here is a
snapshot of what you could save.

Basic NDP Structure
• There will be 64 teams in each age group, divided
into four regions North, South, East, and West.
• In each region the teams will play in Developmental
(4 teams), Sectional (8 teams), and Regional (16 teams)
tournaments.
• The four semi-finalists from each regional
tournament will play for the national championship.
NDP Selection Camps
• Each NDP Coach will host a selection camp over
1 or 2 days in August.
• Players will be graded by a team of evaluators
selected by the coach.
• Coaches and their evaluators will select their
team of 30 using NDP evaluation software.
• Team roster will be submitted to NDP by September

| NDP identifies all prospects in every area of
the country. By attending 4 days of NDP regional
and National Tournaments you get the exposure to
all the top prospects that the 43 plus days you
are currently spending will never get you. Every
day you spend on the road identifying players means
less money and time you can spend on recruiting
qualified players and developing your current team.
We think NDP will save you 39 or more days a year.
