Adidas has released the rosters for the 500 boys’ underclass All-Americans selected to play in the 3rd annual adidas National Lacrosse Classic July 5-8 at the Maryland Soccerplex in Boyds, Md.
Team Philly – coached by Neshaminy’s Josh Hanlon – will be one of 20 squads competing for the adidas 
national title and in a showcase for NCAA and MCLA college lacrosse coaches. The winning team qualifies to play Internationally for the Brogden Cup in Orlando, Florida later in the year.
Players from 28 states and Canada will compete in a showcase tourney designed to better prepare student athletes for the college admissions and athletic recruitment process by uniting the top high school underclassmen players and college lacrosse coaches. Regional team tryouts are conducted by high school coaches during the year. Players are selected to represent their region at the National Games by the high school coaches based on their performance at the tryouts. Tryouts are open to players entering grades 10,11 and 12 next fall.
Besides the participants selected for the Philly team, two more Philly players – Penncrest’s Andrew Caldwell and St. Joseph’s Prep’s Rob Watts – have been selected to play for the Central PA team. Chris Snyder, former coach at Penn Manor, is the coach at Central PA.
The 2010 adidas National Lacrosse Classic will begin on July 5 with player check-in and Opening Ceremonies. Jack McGetrick, NCAA Division I Men’s Head Coach at Bellarmine University is scheduled to address the athletes. Each team will practice and attend a college admission seminar on Tuesday, July 6. The adidas National Games begin on July 7 from 8 a.m.-9 p.m.
There will be four divisions of 5 teams each. The top two teams in each division will advance to the adidas Elite 8 round on Thursday morning, July 8th. College coaches in attendance will rank the top offensive and defensive players for selection to the adidas All-Star teams that will play after the Elite 8 and prior to the Final Four and National Championship Games. The winning team will qualify to play Internationally for the Brodgen Cup.
