Welcome to Lacrosse Lab

Let me start off our first blog post with a big THANK YOU! We have put a lot work into the concept of Lacrosse Lab and we're excited to have you checking us out. We are striving to continue to introduce new functionality regularly for lacrosse coaches and players to enhance their knowledge of the game.
Eric (CEO)
Lacrosse Lab has been conceptualized and built by Ryan Gilbert and myself (Eric Schell) over the last year. Our history of working together, however, extends far beyond the last year. Ryan and I began working together in 2011 at each of our first tries in the professional world. The relationship that we developed in our time working together professionally is one that we have continued to tap into today; Ryan acting as the CTO and lead developer while I am providing product vision, marketing and business development as CEO.

Upon graduating college, I began working at a local company on the software product management team. Ryan joined the organization not long after I did as a software developer. We formed a great working relationship while working in a highly creative skunkworks environment and were given the opportunity to make recommendations for the company’s production software - not a bad start for a pair of recent college grads. Ryan moved on to another organization in 2016, while I continue to work for the same organization in a Product Management role.

Ryan (CTO)
After finishing my MBA in the spring of 2015 and finding myself with some free-time on my hands, I had the itch to get re-acquainted in the lacrosse community after playing at the Division 1 and 3 levels in college. I’m finishing up my second year coaching at the club U-13 level, but have also been involved at the high school and high school club level. Much of Lacrosse Lab’s initial functionality is driven by my need to be more organized as a coach and Ryan accommodating my demands.

While you’re here, we’d love to know what you think. You can reach us at labradorsports@gmail.com. We have some ideas for where we would like to take this project, we’d really like to be building this for you. If you love something, want some more of something or hate something, we want to hear it all. It is our goal to make this a place that you cannot only collaborate with your coaches, but also a place where your players can expand their understanding of the game of lacrosse.

-Eric

Share Public Plays with Free Accounts

Want to see a trick?   We're excited to announce that plays can now be shared and even embedded (like above) with your free Lacrosse Lab account. Sharing can be done by selecting the play options drop-down in "My Playbook." Select SHARE PLAY and navigate to the PUBLIC tab. For now, you can share directly to Facebook and Twitter. You can also copy a direct link to share anywhere that you please! For those of you that might be a little more "techy," you can also embed our play viewer on your site, just like I've shown above. As always, let us know what you think and start SHARING! -Eric

New Release: Team Schedules

Over the last year, we've built out the most complete lacrosse play designer available on the internet. We've helped teams across the country roll out their new plays so that their players can come to practice to apply their skills and knowledge immediately, rather than standing around and dry-running new plays. We've accomplished this while putting a lot of the team management and administration directly on the coach. Now, we want to help you deliver your lacrosse play curriculum through your team's Schedule . Here's what you can expect from this new feature: Create and Manage Game & Practice Events The Schedule allows coaches and team administrators the ability to upload their game and practice schedules. In addition to the date, time and location of their lacrosse games and practices, coaches can also call out key objectives for that particular event. __________________________________ Collect RSVPs As a coach of younger players, knowing
