Laxachusetts Families, 

This has been an amazing year for our Laxachusetts Program. 

First, last July we announced the partnership with USA Lacrosse and the NLF (National Lacrosse Federation) on the Age Verification for youth club lacrosse. This was much needed with the number of clubs out there playing kids down just to try and win game to help with national club rankings. Laxachusetts brought this to the NLF and helped work out details with USA Lacrosse. 


Next, Laxachusetts which has led the country in college recruiting every year since the 2012 graduating class, is now approaching another milestone never done by a lacrosse club. In our 19 years as a boys program, we now have 993 total college commits and expect to hit 1000 before the end of the summer! Absolutely ridiculous accomplishment by all of our program and all involved. 


Lastly, Inside Lacrosse and the National Lacrosse Federation are excited to announce a landmark multi-year partnership on content generation and distribution, focused around team and player ratings and rankings, as well as event seeding.

For the first time ever, IL and NLF will jointly conduct a club coaches poll, which will both be published independently and be incorporated into a new mathematical formula that will augment IL’s existing club team ratings equation.

There are a few club ranking web sites out there but many are pay to boost ranking. Advertise with them and your club ranks is boosted. Other ranking also do not factor in strength of schedule or opponent with wins / losses which create inaccurate rankings. 

This partnership with the NLF and Inside Lacrosse will create a very fair and accurate club team and player ranking system. This is the only club and player ranking site that we will be following. 

Laxachusetts would not be the leader in the spot without the support from all of our families all these years. The success we have as a program is because we are all working together. Parents believe in our system / process and players give everything they have to make themselves and teammates better. 

We continue to work hard to make Laxachusetts greater every year and do our best to help make the sport better. 

Looking forward to an incredible summer season and more to come for our players, teams and families 

Boston Pride
