Rock Lacrosse will expand its coverage, historically focused on the Baltimore Washington Metropolitan area, to the Mid-Atlantic region and beyond.

“As demographics in the Baltimore Washington metropolitan area have evolved, and our team camp approach has taken hold, simplifying travel logistics, we see an opportunity to draw from a larger area” notes Kevin Mayer – Executive Director & Co-Founder, Rock Lacrosse, “something that has been trending over the past few years, as we have rostered players from all over the country”, continues Coach Mayer, “our training approach is intense, focused on key elements of fall and summer lacrosse development, and as such, casting a wider net provides us an opportunity to find a greater quantities of players that are good fits for our approach. The more players we can find that want to train hard and use club lacrosse as a key facet to their development and recruiting, the more value we can deliver to our players and the more we can send “play-ready” to NCAA programs. Our primary objective since our founding is to develop players to become not only recruitable NCAA student-athletes but players that produce when they get to their NCAA homes. The new National Team platforms will open up opportunities for more players to benefit from our program”, finishes Mayer.
