| Q: Why did you move the Boys Varsity
Divisions to Saturday and Boys Youth Divisions to Sunday?
A: In the spring on 2011, the Virginia High School League
amended their Out-of-Season Practice Rule to allow coaches
to "practice" with their teams at certain times throughout
the off-season. This came at a price. The price
is that coaches may NOT coach, have contact, or OBSERVE
their teams on SUNDAYS at any time during the year.
Since the Fall Brawl was designed to give coaches a
"sneak-peek" at their teams prior to the spring season, this
change was necessary.
UPDATE - In September of 2011, the VHSL adjusted the rules
to allow coaches to OBSERVE their players on Sundays but not
coach. To avoid confusion for 2011, we will leave
divisions as scheduled.
Q: What do I get for my entry fee?
A: Each team is guaranteed six games (four games for
the U9 and U11 Divisions) over the course of the
tournament, a Fall Brawl team T-Shirt which they will wear
as his uniform, a well run, fun tournament and medical
attention if so required.
Q: Where is the Fall Brawl?
A: The Boys Division is hosted at Robinson Secondary
School in Fairfax, Virginia and the Girls Division is
hosted at Lanier Middle School in Fairfax, Virginia.
Q: Why should I attend the Fall Brawl?
A: Simply...to have fun playing the game of
lacrosse. Our tournament is special in that we don't
worry about college coaches, recruiting and All-Star
teams. This tournament is for the teams that will
play together in the spring to get some action and to have
fun...what lacrosse is REALLY about.
Q: Do I need to be a member of US Lacrosse to
participate in the Fall Brawl?
A: No
Q: Is there medical attention at the tournament
if it is needed?
A: Yes! There is a certified training staff on
duty both days of the tournament.
Q: Are there “REAL” officials at the
Fall Brawl?
A: Yes! All of our officials are certified VLOA
officials.
Q: How long has the Fall Brawl been in
existence?
A: The Fairfax Fall Brawl was created in 2002 and had
24 teams competing in 3 divisions that year. 2011 will
mark the 10th year and will have over 150 teams
competing in 12 different divisions.
Q: Who do I contact if I have more questions?
A: Contact the Tournament Director – Marty
Joyner at
