Penn*Lax All-Stars is proud to announce 2018 winter rosters! Penn*Lax hopefuls were evaluated over four hours of training camps the week after thanksgiving. The top 16 rosters have been selected and teams have already begun their training in preparation for 3 USBoxla tournaments this winter.
“We have assembled our strongest Penn*Lax teams to date that truly represent the best box lacrosse players PA has to offer. Beyond seeking talent we were also scouting individuals that would accept and implement our box training, which is delivered from a world class staff.” expressed Penn*Lax Co-Founder Steven Holmes. “This program is first and foremost about getting better and using the box game to expand player skill-sets and overall game understanding. Players who do this consistently see tremendous gains in their overall performance.
“The selection process was extremely competitive and our staff is very proud of the great group of young men we’ve brought together. Additionally we are carrying a training roster of strong and talented players that will fill in at tournaments as needed, enhance and raise the level of competition in practices, and also have the opportunity to play in the Founder’s Cup on February 10th.”
The first Penn*Lax action can be witnessed at the USBoxla Northeast Regional Tournament on Dec 29/30th at XL Sports World in Hatfield PA.
