My boys have been members of the MAINEiax program since its inception, not only as part of the travel programs but also the year round-program. The coaching staff is without question the best around, and the programs are catered to different ages and skill levels. The staff takes time to explain and work with each player to make sure they are getting the most out of the drill or game situation. It is great to see a staff so excited and dedicated to the growth of lacrosse in Maine. Being a local coach I recommend the Maineiax programs to all of my players. -South Portland

Through my sons involvement with MAINEiax, his exposure to the extremely experienced coaching staff and the consolidation of the area’s best players has allowed his confidence as a player to reach new heights.  His friendships with some of his (school’s) biggest rivals has allowed him to bring/create many new facets to his game.  The shared out of state experiences as a MAINEiax player, at UMass Amherst, Harvard, IAS NH, has given him additional exposure and connections to college coaches where he hopes to continue his growth as a player at the next level.   Coach Lane’s spirit and passion for the game are unmatched. His ability to bring in the State’s premier lacrosse coaches (all levels, HS, college, international) together for the Maine players is remarkable.  Lane with his USM Men’s team have brought their exceptional enthusiasm and love for the game, to the hearts of Maine’s High School Lacrosse players. -Yarmouth

Our children have been playing lacrosse since each was in second grade.  Being their favorite sport they were always looking for more time on the field after their spring season ended.  They started with the MAINEiax summer teams, which were a great extension to their travel season.  They have looked forward to the three summer tournaments for the past few years.  These tournaments are a great opportunity to play out of the state of Maine and experience more lacrosse competition.  This year one of our teams has the opportunity to play lacrosse in England with their MAINEiax team, how exciting is that!!  The addition of year round lacrosse with MAINEiax has allowed the kids to play their in season sport with their schools but still have an opportunity to play lacrosse on the weekends as well as have great strength and conditioning training with the Parisi speed school during the week.  The MAINEiax coaching staff goes above and beyond to teach these young players skill and a love of the game of lacrosse. Our oldest is starting to think about college and where he may want to continue playing lacrosse.  Sam Lane is not only a great coach, but also a great resource to help our son navigate the recruiting process to help him find a good fit for his education and lacrosse.  It is exciting to watch the growth of our children on and off the field and we are thrilled with all of the opportunities that MAINEiax offers to enthusiastic lacrosse players of all ages.  - Cape Elizabeth

The Maineiax program has been a great part of my son’s lacrosse training for the past 3 years. This new reinvented program is truly even better.  Opportunities to learn from some top notch coaches, travel to tournaments throughout New England and make new friends, has helped him grow as a player and as a young man.  I have recommended this program to others, and they are as enthusiastic about Maineiax for all ages as I am. I will continue to recommend this program to parents in the future, I hope it continues to grow and be a place for other young men and women to learn the exciting game of lacrosse. - Yarmouth

What sets MAINEiax apart?  It's absolutely the coaches.  My daughter joined the club the summer before high school and each and every year she has had wonderful coaches who love what they do and enjoy spending time with the girls. Lauren Reid is a gifted coach who offers a depth of knowledge stemming from her time as a D1 player and current D3 coach. As a parent, I've observed other coaches who do not have the patience or skill to effectively teach lacrosse. Lauren and Kait know how to communicate with the girls so that everything they have to say is heard.  Where other coaches yell at their players if they make mistakes, the MAINEiax coaches know how to turn a mistake into a teaching moment. They coach with compassion and respect. Our daughter hopes to continue playing lacrosse in college and Lauren and Director, Jeff Perkins, have been immensely supportive and helpful during the recruiting process. We know that our daughter would not be getting the looks she has gotten from college coaches without playing with MAINEiax. - Cape Elizabeth

Our daughter has been an enthusiastic participant in the MAINEiax lacrosse program since the day it opened. She has now done four summer sessions and is in the middle of her third winter season. Our daughter is a multi-sport, sophomore athlete but her first love is lacrosse. She wants to excel in high school and play in college. Thus, we really appreciate the opportunity the MAINEiax program has afforded her to really improve her lacrosse skills as well as her visibility with college coaches. The MAINEiax coaches are super. Our daughter is learning things many college players don’t know. She recently played on the MAINEiax team that participated in the 2012 President’s Cup girl’s national tournament in Florida and had both a great time as well as great college exposure. She has since heard from five college coaches from five different states. They all saw her play and are very interested in having her attend their schools. My favorite moment of the tournament was when I heard the advice coach Lauren Reid gave to the girls; “play to highlight others and they will play to highlight you.” The girls went on to do just that playing in an entirely unselfish manner and ending up undefeated. We highly recommend the MAINEiax program for any girl that wants to improve her lacrosse skills in a very supportive environment. -Scarborough
