Maineiax Lacrosse Club

GIRLS TRAVEL TEAMS

Lacrosse is much more than a sport. Maineiax uses lacrosse to build friendships, teach life long lessons, create gateways to college, and provide an experience you cannot find anywhere else. Our travel teams are for elite players looking for more than just pick-up leagues. We practice and train to build fundamentals and game knowledge to become the best players and teammates as possible.

Our mission at Maineiax is to:

  • Develop and improve individual players to help them reach their fullest potential.
  • Emphasize team play and camaraderie to become better all-around lacrosse team players.
  • Play at some of the nation’s top events as well as regional tournaments.
  • Superior organization with consistent and efficient communication.
  • High-level instruction (college & elite HS coaches) under a model that meets the needs of all ages and ability levels.
  • High school teams will play at recruiting events flooded with college coaches, giving them the opportunity to be seen and recruited by NCAA DI, DII & DIII coaches.
  • Season dates: Summer (June -July), Fall (September-November) and Winter (January-March)

TRAVEL GOALS:

  • Help grow the game of girls lacrosse in Maine 
  • Have players become more competitive, improve their stick work, be pushed to their full potential and grow their confidence
  • Become more competitive against regional and national club teams
  • Keep players from the same town together while also exposing them to new teammates from other towns
  • Meet the needs of every player in our program
  • Encourage school sport and multi sport participation
  • Play 100 days of lacrosse per year (includes school and rec programs)
  • Participate in league pick up games as opportunity to play with less coaching and structure
  • At the MS level, attend US Lacrosse sanctioned tournaments with the goal of qualifying for the US Lacrosse National Tournament (our girls 2023 team has qualified for Nationals this summer!)

TRAVEL DETAILS:

  • Travel seasons includes 1-2 hour practices with individual and team feedback and 2 or 3 travel tournaments. Middle school teams attend three regional tournaments while high school teams travel to regional and national recruiting tournaments. 
  • Each player fills out a goals sheet during the season and coaches will provide each player with specific feedback at the end of the season.
  • All players receive a shooting shirt. An apparel/gear store will open for players to order game jersey and shorts at additional cost. 
  • The number of teams is based on the number of players participating. Maineiax reserves the right to change the grade levels of each team based on the players who make it. 
  • We are constantly evaluating if a player is getting challenged enough or is in over their head. If a player needs to be moved up or down, we will discuss with coaches and parents and move them to a more appropriate age group to ensure their development – even if it’s mid program.
  • Recruiting and college guidance for high school players include on the field conversations with coaches, college search Q&A for parents and players and recruit email templates and advice.
  • Each team has team parents who help organize tailgates and hotel blocks at tournaments, weeks and months in advance.
  • Maineiax assumes that all travel players will participate in most practices and most tournaments. Players may not receive even playing time at tournaments in competitive games. 
  • We do NOT prorate costs for missed tournaments or practices. 

COACHES:

We take pride in giving players the best coaching possible, while growing the game in Maine and having as much fun as possible. We take the time to communicate our goals and expectations to our staff while helping them develop into the best coaches and mentors they can be. Our coaching philosophy includes:

  • Each travel team has two coaches (mix of college & elite HS coaches) who offer high level instruction under a model that meets the needs of all ages and ability levels.
  • Coaches are supportive to players & families while fostering teamwork and player development.
  • Coaches are energetic, positive, engaged and present.
  • At tournaments, coaches meet their team 1 hour before the first game to set goals and warmup. In between games, coaches meet with their teams to discuss goals met and areas for improvement.
  • Coaches send pre tournament emails about goals and also send a short tournament recap about the team’s experience within 48 hours of the weekend.
  • Cell phones are only used during practice to keep time for stations, to take video analysis of players or to take photos for the the website and social media.
