THE SYSTEM

Plan. Path. Proof. The Lacrosse Development Engine for your team.

Most tools store drills. The Lacrosse Development Engine runs your program. Plan, Path, and Proof put coaches, players, and parents on the same page.

PLAN · FOR COACHES

Every coach walks on like they’ve run your program for years.

Plan it once, run it your way, and lock in what worked.

  • Build your framework. The Lacrosse Coaching Master Class gives staff the system before the season starts.
  • Content-infused practice planner. Drills, diagrams, and videos already inside — no YouTube hunt at 5 pm.
  • Run it your way. Print clean sheets or run it from your phone on the sideline.
  • Read & React Mode. Test your players’ reads in the Play Designer before game day.
  • Log what worked. Notes lock in what to repeat, so next week is sharper.

Your staff walks on the field knowing exactly what they’re doing.

PATH · FOR PLAYERS

Every kid gets private-lesson development without the private-lesson bill.

Tag what each kid needs. They get the exact reps at home.

  • Full Skills Academy Complete. Up to 25 player accounts on the same plan you’d hand a private-lesson client.
  • Position-based workout paths. “Tap next workout” for attack, midfield, defense, and goalies.
  • You tag what each kid needs. They get exact reps, points, and goals — not random YouTube sessions.
  • Leaderboards and competitions. Extra work feels like a game, so kids keep coming back.

PROOF · FOR THE BOARD

Walk into the budget meeting with proof, not promises.

One dashboard shows who’s planning, who’s training, and what to show the board.

  • Director dashboard. See which coaches are planning and which players are training.
  • Volunteer-ready plans. Walk-on coaches grab a plan, add a few notes, and run a real practice.
  • Youth Lacrosse Coaching Master Class. New coaches develop over time, not season by season.
  • Clear reporting. For parents, boards, and ADs — no more arguing about who’s improving.

You stop arguing opinions and start pointing to proof.

The price of building every player vs. the cost of losing them.

Private lacrosse lessons run $60–$100 an hour. One year of Activated is $2,499 per team. For a 25-player roster, that's about $8.33 per player per month. That's year-round, coach-directed training, not a few hours with a local trainer.

  • Year-round training instead of one-off sessions.
  • Coach-directed reps tied to what your team actually runs.
  • A development line item that survives the off-season.

WHY ACTIVATED

Not another app. The Lacrosse Development Engine for legacy programs.

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. Because I'm not just building software for coaches — I am one.
