NALL DRAFT, USIL NATIONAL COMBINE TO BE HELD IN RICHMOND ON DEC 10-11, 2011

The North American Lacrosse League will host the 2011 National Draft on Sunday, December 11 at Clover Hill Auditorium in Richmond, Virginia. Each of the NALL's five teams will select players in the draft, which will be held in conjunction with the fifth annual USIL National Combine on December 10-11, at SportsQuest Indoor Sports Center in Richmond.

"The National Draft is a significant moment in the young history of the NALL," said Tony Caruso, the league's Commissioner. "We're very excited to hold our draft in conjunction with the USIL National Combine, which will give our teams' coaches, GM's and scouts the opportunity to evaluate and get to know players before they begin building their rosters."

The combine, which features agility testing, indoor lacrosse drills, scrimmage play and an invitational Pro-Am game. All events will be in front of pro GM’s and scouts from each of the five North American Lacrosse League teams -- the Charlotte Copperheads, Hershey Haymakers, Jacksonville Bullies, Kentucky Stickhorses, and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Shamrocks.

NALL teams began building their rosters in October's College Draft, and a handful of others were signed early as Franchise Players, but a majority of NALL players will enter the league through the National Draft. Any lacrosse player deemed of professional caliber is eligible for the National Draft and USIL National Combine.
