Pert Temple Causey; The annual Longhorn Shootout is this coming weekend. For those unfamiliar, this is a youth tournament (peewee through high school) that is sponsored and managed by the University of Texas Lacrosse Team. This event was the brainchild of the legendary Dave Alter back in 2003 and has been around every year since with the exception of 2021 and 2022 when the country was locked down during the Covid 19 pandemic. Funds raised from the effort (primarily from entry fees paid by participating teams) are used to support the cost of the upcoming season. There are some 75 teams who will attend. Net revenue will exceed $50,000. This effort is critical to the affordability of playing lacrosse at UT.


Volunteers are welcome. Spectators are welcome. Alumni are welcome. The location is Whittaker or Intramural fields on 51st and Guadalupe. If you are planning to volunteer (usually something to do with cooking food), details are available from Tim Herfel. You may respond to this email and Tim will have eyes on and get back to you.


Note that there are several alumni who coach youth teams and will be present at this tournament. People paying it forward in building the next generation of lacrosse players.
