Florida United Lacrosse Cup Series

This series is a first-of-its-kind tournament event unlike any other offered in the United States. Created in 2009, the concept takes lacrosse competition to an entirely new level by providing skilled lacrosse players an opportunity to compete in a state-wide series of high-quality off-season lacrosse tournaments.

Each tournament is organized to provide safe, efficient, and intense, high-level competition. High-visibility is also assured as many college coaches have already recognized the dynamic recruiting opportunities created by attending these coordinated tournaments.

Every tournament in the series has its own distinctive on-line presence leveraged by a one-time team/player registration process that can be applied to all future tournaments in the series. Each tournament web-site also provides real-time schedules by division, time, and field. Playoff round seeding and scheduling is updated in real-time with schedules available on-line throughout the tournament. Tournament formats are standardized across the entire series and, therefore, enable true event-to-event comparisons.

Team results are compiled and maintained over the course of the season and used to seed teams for future tournaments including an end-of-the-year championship tournament event held each November. Player statistics are compiled by team, division, and position and are available on-line to college coaches and recruiters interested in monitoring and analyzing individual player performance and statistics over time.

History and Mission of the Wounded Warrior Project

HISTORY

The Wounded Warrior Project began when several individuals took small, inspired actions to help others in need.

One night while watching the evening news, a group of veterans and brothers were moved by the difficult stories of the first wounded service members returning home from Afghanistan and Iraq. They realized then and there that something needed to be done for these brave individuals beyond the brass bands and ticker tape parades.

The resulting objective was to provide tangible support for the severely wounded and help them on the road to healing, both physically and mentally. What had been initially viewed as a small contribution (compared with what the warriors had sacrificed while serving our country) has become WWP's signature program:"WWP backpacks delivered bedside to wounded warriors."

Wounded Warrior Project is a nonprofit organization.

MISSION

The mission of the Wounded Warrior Project is to honor and empower wounded warriors.

PURPOSE

To raise awareness and enlist the public’s aid for the needs of severely injured service men and women,
To help severely injured service members aid and assist each other, and
To provide unique, direct programs and services to meet the needs of severely injured service members.

CORE VALUES

Fun - Enjoying what we are doing is paramount to the continued success of WWP's efforts.
Integrity - Integrity and ethics are woven into the the core of WWP.
