Callies playing for Cali

The summer is starting off with a bang for Reece Callies.

Callies has been selected to play at the 2011 National Lacrosse Classic in Germantown, Maryland.

The elite event, which runs July 5-8, unites top high school players from across North America. It is also a chance for players to be seen by U.S. university and college scouts.

The 15-year-old is playing for the Northern California squad.

The Langley teen earned an invitation to play for the team after they spotted him competing for the Burnaby Mountain Selects back in January.

Callies plays his minor lacrosse with the Langley Thunder U16 team.
