  • College Lacrosse Recruiting Guide
    SO… YOU WANT TO PLAY LACROSSE INCOLLEGE? H e o m n a o g r the Last Updated: March 2014 US Lacrosse | 113 W. University Parkway, Baltimore, Md. 21210 | 410.235.6882 | uslacrosse.org 1 H e o m n a o g r the Letter from US Lacrosse On behalf of US Lacrosse, it is my sincere pleasure to introduce you to our college recruiting handbook, “So...You want to play lacrosse in college?.” In recent years, college recruiters have accelerated the timeline and created recruiting formulas that are unique to them. The direction of the college lacrosse recruiting process has led to confusion by some, frustration to others and leaves everyone guessing. The intent of this handbook is to present hard facts, dispel the myths, and to promote the essentials. As a parent of two children who have been through the process and a high school coach for thirty years, I have seen the process play out in scenarios that are too many to number. From my experience there are a few points that I would like to highlight. First, everyone’s journey through the process is unique, so do not rely on others who say they know how the process works. Second, one can only control the tools that are in their own hands. Recruits and their families must educate themselves about the process and the schools of interest, prepare physically for competition, and to achieve to your potential academically. A recruit and their family have no control over the decisions that a college coach will make.

  • Team Wellington
    CASE STUDY – TEAM WELLINGTON WHO: TEAM WELLINGTON FC WHAT: Senior Football Club competing in New Zealand’s highest club league and associated competitions WHERE: Wellington, New Zealand COMPETE IN: New Zealand National League, OFC Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup 2018 FC Case Study - Team Wellington PROBLEM: Competing in a Southern Hemisphere Summer league, Tee Dubs was left with boring, picked-over, end-of-season Northern Hemisphere stock remnants that cost a bomb to print with sponsor logos and were a nightmare to replace as players left or arrived during the season. They were struggling to find the right designs in the right amounts at the right time - and the right price. SOLUTION: FC answered the call with the design, manufacture and delivery of a suite of fully-sublimated home, away, training and off-field uniforms. FC Case Study - Team Wellington The FC Team Wellington kits are totally original, one-of-a-kind designs that incorporate all seven sponsor logos with no extra printing costs. The stock order is tailored to their needs. No remnants. No items out of stock when they’re needed. PROCESS: An initial approach by the club in July 2017 was followed by introductory conversations and the production of an outline brief. The design team put together concept designs and after some discussion and tweaking, the designs were signed off, sampled and put into production. Manufactured at FC’s factory partner in China, the finished articles were delivered to the Club well within deadline for the beginning of the NZ National League season in September 2017.

  • College Recruiting, Nytimes on Lacrosse Scholarships
    From the NYTimes on Lacrosse Scholarships The Lax Track By ABIGAIL SULLIVAN MOORE IT is a blistering week in July, and thousands of girls and scores of college coaches pour into Love Point Park in Stevensville, Md., for the annual All Star Express. The tournament, a four-day extravaganza of athleticism and ambition, is billed as the recruiting event of the year for women's college lacrosse (lax, for short). Tractor-powered trams lug spectators to 12 fields marked off by huge helium balloons. In the middle is a corridor of vendors hawking chocolate chip cookies, lacrosse gear, preppy ribbon belts and hot-pink and lime-green flip-flops adorned with mini-lacrosse sticks. On Thursday and Friday, middle school and younger high school girls play. On the weekend, when 55 teams of seniors compete in up to seven games a day, the crowd swells to at least 12,000. Tournaments like this represent the latest, strangest chapter in the history of lacrosse. Originated centuries ago by American Indians, it is now one of the fastest-growing sports among high school students. Once played mostly in New England prep schools and other pockets in the East, the game has spread wildly through suburbs nationwide. In towns where weekends are spent carting children to athletic events and the names of top-tier colleges are stenciled on car windows, families see lacrosse as an opportunity for their sons and daughters to shine in the equally competitive arenas of college admissions and athletic scholarships. Many parents figure that, compared with soccer, basketball and football, lacrosse offers less rivalry for spots on college teams.
