Books written about lacrosse are few and far between. When they are, you know they’re going to be good because how many people would write about lacrosse unless they had a passion for the game? Today we get to do something fun and chat with the author of one of the best new books of the season, and of course it’s about lacrosse. Medicine Game is written by Delby Powless,…
My first job was at Chapters, which was the family business as I grew up. I am a book snob. I have no problem admitting that. While the phrase “don’t judge a book by its cover” has generally come to mean “don’t judge a person by their looks,” I absolutely judge actual books by their covers. I mean, you can take one look at a romance novel and know everything…
Growing up through the St. Louis lacrosse world, there was an abundance of club teams to play for in the summer. Other than maybe a couple years, each team was pretty even talent-wise. All the best players were separated. Then MO22 came along and immediately became the showcase for the entire state. They became, and still are, the team to play for in Missouri. Head Coach Mark Seyer is aware…

It was not an easy road for the crab state boys. In the first round of the playoff tournament, they faced New Jersey and handled them pretty easily, 10-5. Their semifinal matchup was against inner state rival Washington DC. DC…

The NXT Lacrosse Philly Showcase is happening this weekend. The event kicked off Friday night in South Philadelphia at the fields on 10th & Bigler St. Due to frost and the cold weather it had to be moved from the grass field at Citizens Bank Park. It started off with a seventh grade All-Star game with kids from Philadelphia and New Jersey, followed by another All-Star game with the eighth…
Being a goaltender in lacrosse is no easy task. There are specific skill sets required, a higher level of athletic ability, reflexes, and a strong lacrosse IQ. Coaches always told me that the goalie should be the most athletic player on the roster. One of ILWT’s writers, Ryan Conwell, grew up in Liverpool, NY, which is a “suburb” of Syracuse. One of the high school’s is called Baldwinsville, and thanks…

The more time I spend in Colorado is the more exposure I get to the lacrosse culture…
