Lax to the Max: LaxLessons.com Drawing MaxPreps Data Feed

When former Somers (NY) High and Loyola of Maryland stars Jordan and Ryan Rabidou conceived the idea of LaxLessons.com, their goal was simple: to provide the most useful and up-to-date instructional information available for lacrosse coaches in New York and Connecticut.

The site, however, is already taking its operation to the next level. In addition to useful and timely content for coaches, LaxLessons.com is now providing the same type of material for players and fans alike.

In the players' section, there are reports on the latest recruiting news. For fans, LaxLessons.com has introduced daily news updates (including a special "Today's Top 5" feature) as well as interviews with players and coaches at all levels of lacrosse.

Joe Lombardi, the former local sports editor of the Journal News in White Plains and the region’s top lacrosse expert, is contributing news updates, stories and interviews, and is the author of the brand-new "Lax with Joe" blog, which covers Fairfield, Westchester, Putnam, Rockland, Nassau and Suffolk counties.

The site was launched earlier this month. Today, its 110-school lacrosse data feed from MaxPreps.com went live:
