Not sure where balls were being given out, since we did not get any, but we "donated" at least 6-8 since there were none provided by the tournament (and the refs made that clear during the game), no problem donating some balls to a great cause, just let us coaches know ahead of time so that so much time is not wasted chasing balls during a running time format. Only gripe. Otherwise very happy with officials, competition and opposing parents, great day of lacrosse.
