Chumash is a lacrosse game developed for “small ball” purposes.   It is a 3 on 3 game where you don’t need a goalie.  The game teaches lacrosse principles and basics, and you can fit the goal and the team into one S.U.V.  We developed the game for the Vail Lacrosse Shootout, and we first began having Chumash tournaments in 1995.

We have Chumash tournaments nightly at the CSU camp, and truthfully we don’t know how you run a camp without Chumash or something similar.  The game can be played on a beach, in a park, or using only about half of a regulation sized field.

This is a great opportunity for the campers to apply the concepts we have taught them throughout the day.  Also, it’s a good time for them to gain a sense of team camaraderie and bonding as they will stay within their teams for most of the four days at camp.

We like to mix up the teams within their age brackets so they can experience the most diverse cross-section of lacrosse players at the camp.  Chumash is generally the highlight of the camp.
