About the divisions:
Brief history:
2008
The National Lacrosse Classic has quickly become one of the premier lacrosse events of the year. The inaugural National Lacrosse Classic was played in July 2008 at the Maryland Soccerplex in Boyds, Maryland. Sixteen teams from 8 different regions of the United States competed for a National Championship as a showcase for NCAA college lacrosse coaches. Team Rochester, representing Upstate New York emerged as the Champion to represent the USA in International Field Lacrosse competition against Canada. The two teams would play for the Brogden Cup in Orlando, Florida with Canada defeating the USA in an exciting best of 3 game series.
2009
Over 60 NCAA college lacrosse coaches attended the 2009 National Games to watch and expanded field of 20 teams compete for the National Championship. Team Rochester from Upstate New York repeated as Champions to claim bragging rights as the "best region for high school lacrosse" in the country while earning the opportunity to compete for the Brogden Cup in International Field Lacrosse competition against Canada. Team Rochester, representing the USA was victorious in the best of 3 game series against Canada to claim the Championship Cup and bragging rights as the "best region for high school lacrosse in North America". Over 18 players on the Team Rochester roster are committed to top NCAA DI lacrosse programs.

2010
An even larger number of NCAA college lacrosse coaches made their way to the 2010 National Games seeking the top recruits. The field of 20 regional teams and 500 underclassmen players gave college lacrosse coaches a opportunity to watch some of the top high school talent in the United States in one, convenient location. The National Games were most competitive with Team Maryland Prep out-scoring Team Washington DC for the National Championship title and chance to represent the United States for the Brogden Cup against Canada in International Field Lacrosse competition.

2011
2011 marked a year of change for the National Lacrosse Classic. Brine and Lacrosse.com joined the event as new presenting sponsors. The field of teams expanded to include new divisions for boys and girls. Maryland earned a narrow victory over Long Island to capture the first National Championship for the high school girls division. Long Island defeated Pennsylvania in classic style winning the first National Championship for the middle school boys division. In contrast to all of the changes, Rochester, familiar to winning National Championship titles in 2008 and 2009 emerged victorious over Washington DC to capture their 3rd national title.
