A Bonanza of Central Texas Youth Lacrosse; the Texas Longhorns Hosted Weekend Tournament. Dec. 6th & 7th, 2025

--Written By Alumni Texas Lacrosse Reporter; George Vance McGee (Austin Silent Market Real Estate Broker Associate 512.657.9281 georgevance@gmail.com)   After I acquired a legal & rare parking spot in the North Loop neighborhood in the morning, I took an easy stroll over to EPOCH for a smooth and calm morning drip coffee awakening. Post caffeination, it was now time for my Texas Longhorn Lax Shootout baptismal experience. Surprisingly, this was my 1st ever in-person Longhorn Youth Tournament Weekend Experience. Simply put; There's a lot going on! The Texas Intramural Fields circa 51 & Guadalupe street are looking pristine, upgraded, green, well-kept and ready for action. I witnessed a festival of lacrosse! Every field in sight my eyes could advance and venture to was brimming with Active Youth or High Lacrosse players, coaches, parents, volunteers, friends or family. I'd guesstimate there's roughly 2 thousand + physical humans in attendance at all times on site. Sat...

Longhorn Lacrosse Fundraising Campaign Click here to Donate $$

  The University of Texas Lacrosse Team has opened its donation portal for the 2025-2026 campaign. https:// texaslacrossedonate.com/ The goal is to realize $30,000 to be used for a variety of reasons.  There is a new donation page on the website that will explain what the money will be used for and guide you through a process for giving.   In reviewing, it appears that the process is electronic and does not accommodate giving via check.  There are alumni who prefer to use a checkbook for larger donations and so please do the following: Checks should be made payable to  The University of Texas at Austin.    Please have the donor put “Men’s Lacrosse - Donation” in the memo field for the check.   If you want to ensure that the donor receive a receipt for a large donation, I ask that they confirm their mailing address if it is different than what is on their check.  We do deposit donation checks into their Donation Account unless explicitly ...
