Schools that come to mind are Maryland, Hopkins, Duke, Virginia, and of course, Syracuse. Only a few places can really put together an alumni team that can also compete with the top college programs. Then you get to the schools whose alumni base is a little more star studded than most, and these games reach another level. One team is trying to impress the coaches and develop chemistry while the other is just trying to put up a good fight.

With one side playing like this, it makes for an interesting matchup as the other team is full of players in game shape, running plays, and speaking a common language on the field. Many small programs also host games, but it’s not the same as playing in the Carrier Dome or against SU alums! This is probably the more entertaining of the two options, as you get a few stud players on the alumni team while everyone else plays the laziest form of lacrosse on the planet: old man lax. Another common format is for the alumni to play the current team at the institution. Many times, it takes the form of a pickup game, followed by a tailgate party where former teammates catch up.

Most established lacrosse teams at both the high school and college level have alumni games. From Coach Simmons in the press box to the children seeing their dads play in the Dome for the first time, the game oozes pride and tradition only found in Syracuse Lacrosse. Most have done a good job, but no program can imitate the tradition Syracuse has. People from other programs have now tried to emulate what we do in our alumni game.
