Orlando, Florida – The landscape of Division I lacrosse recruiting is rapidly changing. In response, the LaxManiax Elite club will be changing to keep up with the evolving times to better prepare our members for success. The 2012 summer will be its own ‘season’ or half-year and at the conclusion of the summer, LaxManiax will become a Fall-Summer program (it has always been a Summer-Fall program). This will greatly benefit the class of 2014 class, which is already being ‘scouted’ by many Division I programs.

The reason we react to Division I timelines is because the entire college recruiting process is driven by the Division I school timeline. Specifically the timelines of the top-50 programs. Division II and Division III timelines are bumped as a result.

In the meantime, five LaxManiax 2013′s have already committed to scholarship opportunities at colleges and universities. Ironically, three of the five are committed to schools in Florida.

“There are a lot of great values for our club members who want to stay in the state of Florida,” said club assistant director, Linda Kelly, whose daughter is a Division I player at Jacksonville University. “Bright Futures is not what it used to be, but it is very helpful and also Florida pre-paid and other local programs make Florida schools an affordable option. Tack on academic and athletic scholarships and the opportunities are even more affordable. Of course I like seeing my daughter play as well. We did not always have that option when she was in Detroit (Mel Hicks spent her first two years at Detroit Mercy University).”

Chloe O’Haire – Chloe was one of the earliest players to commit to a university nation-wide. Rated as LaxPower’s 16th selection, she was considered one of the top players in the nation. University of Florida is where Chloe committed to a scholarship.

Hannah Bolt – Hannah made waves when she made the U-15 National Championship all-tournament team in 2010. She is one of the club’s fastest and most productive players over the past three years. Jacksonville University is where Hannah committed to a scholarship.

Sarah Dibble – Sarah is perhaps one of the best attackers ever to come out of the club. Her skills have been honed over the past three seasons in LaxManiax and she has an amazing left hand. Florida Southern is where Sarah committed to a scholarship.

Sam Jaffe – Sam is a player from Southwest Florida who is athletic and has a nose for the goal. Her quickness and desire to help her team win showed in the LaxManiax tournaments, particularly over the 2011 season. Sam is proof positive that if you follow the LaxManiax recruiting system and are dedicated to playing with and against the best that you can make it to college lacrosse! Sam is committed verbally to a scholarship offer from William and Mary.

Bailey Mathis – Bailey is a strong athlete from southeast Florida. Her raw athleticism and natural abilities and work ethic and unrivaled. She has verbally agreed to a scholarship at Loyola University.

Judging from the great talent in the 2013 class, it looks like as many as 22 LaxManiax members will be committing to colleges over the next ten months. The classes of 2014 and 2015 may be even higher!

Stay tuned for an entire new recruiting program coming to our exclusive new member’s website! We are excited to provide our members with the unique perspective and guidance that 75-years of combined college experience can bring! It’s going to be an amazing summer for LaxManiax…AGAIN! :)
