3 MAIN RULES
1. Only one spectator per player may attend this event. State police will be at United Sports along with private security. Every car entering the venue will be stopped and checked. If there is more than one spectator per player, the player may be dropped off, but the car will be denied access to the venue.
2. Under new PA guidelines issued by the governor, everyone must have a mask and wear it at all times when social distancing is not possible. Players must have masks also, they are not required to wear them on the field.
3. Absolutely no multi-person tents or team tailgating setups will be allowed. Personal shade tents and umbrellas are OK.
The Meltdown is back for 2020!
GAMEPLAY
You will be playing 4 games. This will not be a play to a championship format like we have used in the past. This is mandated by the state in order to comply with the state guidelines in place. The state prefers games over a tournament to a champion.
You will play 2 games Saturday back to back and two games Sunday back to back against predetermined opponents. The games will be full games and you will have approximately 10 minutes in between games. Your second game each day will either be on the same field or adjacent field ideally. Once your team's games conclude we ask that you leave the facility. There will be a gap in the schedule so new teams can arrive and warm up prior to their back to back games starting. This format will allow for greater social distancing and greatly reduce the number of attendees on site at any one time. We are excited to return to play in a safe manner for all.

Blue Star Lacrosse Camps!
Have A Blast!
Blue Star Lacrosse Camps are designed to be fun for everyone involved (that includes counselors too!) There are a lot of reasons to go to camp but at the end of the day we want campers to leave feeling exhausted and excited for the next day. We strive to create an environment that cultivates a player's passion for the game - we have found over 25+ years of camps that passion and attitude are the biggest future drivers of success!
