The Turkey Shootout Lacrosse Tournament, now in its 23rd year, stands as a cornerstone event in the lacrosse community of Northern Virginia, bridging the gap between fall club play and the spring high school season. Our mission is to provide a premier full-field lacrosse experience for boys' and girls' varsity teams, offering a unique opportunity for school programs to reunite and re-calibrate after the club season. As one of the area's most established tournaments, we are committed to fostering high-level competition, sportsmanship, and player development in a format that has become an integral part of many top programs' annual schedules.

The Turkey Shootout serves as a vital platform for talent evaluation and team building, attracting many of the region's top-tier teams. Our tournament allows coaches to assess their squads in a competitive, full-field environment, helping them make informed decisions about player roles and strategies for the upcoming spring season. By providing this crucial transition point, we aim to contribute to the growth and success of high school lacrosse programs, creating an atmosphere where teams can hone their skills, build camaraderie, and lay the groundwork for a successful spring campaign. The Oakton Turkey Shootout is more than just a tournament; it's a tradition that celebrates the spirit of lacrosse and the continuous development of young athletes.
