THE PROBLEM

Every season builds on the last — instead of starting over.

Every week feels like a reset. You hunt for drills, re-type the same emails, and guess who's improving.Players forget what you taught. Parents don't see the work. Directors only hear about a messy field when parents complain.

POWLAX gives you a Plan, a Path, and Proof — so every season builds on the last.

PLAN · PATH · PROOF

A program where coaches, players, and parents finally pull the same direction.

A plan for coaches, a path for players, proof for parents and directors. POWLAX wires all three together.

PLAN

The Coaching Loop

Every practice ready before anyone hits the field.

PATH

The Player Development Loop

Every player knows exactly what to do between practices.

PROOF

The Program Loop

Everyone can see the system and the work, not just hope it’s happening.

PLAN

Walk on knowing exactly what to do — and so can any assistant.

Every practice ready before you hit the field.

Most coaches scribble drills on napkins and hunt YouTube the night before. The Coaching Loop replaces that with a plan you can print, share, and reuse.

  • Plan it. A practice planner with drills, diagrams, and videos already inside.
  • Run it. Print the sheet, or run it from your phone on the sideline.
  • Tighten it. Post-practice notes lock in what to repeat and what to throw out.

You walk onto the field knowing exactly what you're doing — and any assistant can do the same.

Read & React Mode.

Click through a play one decision at a time, so your players see what should happen at every fork.

Think “choose your own adventure” for a lacrosse play.

PATH

Your players show up to show off — not to catch up.

Every player knows exactly what to do between practices.

Motivated kids want to train — most just don't know what to do. Skills Academy gives them a private-lesson-style path with clear reps, time, and goals.

  • Position-based workouts — attack, midfield, and defense, in 5, 15, or 45 minute blocks.
  • Your observations become their workouts. What you note at practice becomes the exact reps they see at home.
  • Leaderboards, badges, and ranks — that pull kids back on their own, so you stop begging for reps.

Your most motivated players finally follow a real path instead of guessing — and it shows up on game day.

PROOF

Every field runs like you're there — even when you can't be.

Everyone can see the system and the work, not just hope it’s happening.

Parents, directors, and boards all want something they can point to. The Program Loop turns coach and player effort into one simple dashboard.

  • For directors: one view of which coaches are planning, which players are training, and where each team sits.
  • For parents: schedules, practice plans, and visible progress — a clear answer to what they’re paying for.
  • For boards and ADs: a development layer on top of what you already use, with reports ready for the next budget meeting.

You don’t have to say “trust the process” anymore. You can pull it up and show them.

START WHERE YOU ARE

Start with the goal that pulls at you.

POWLAX was instrumental in helping us win our first-ever district title. I watched my players' skills and lacrosse IQ soar throughout the season.

FOUNDER STORY

Built by a coach who got tired of guessing.

After 15+ years coaching lacrosse and creating content watched by millions, I kept hearing the same frustration: nobody had a clear plan, players had no path, and there was no proof for parents or directors that the work was paying off.

So I built POWLAX to solve the exact problems I faced every week. Every feature comes from real coaching experience, not guesswork. Because I’m not just building software for coaches — I am one.
