New site launches as a way to help teams raise money

Let’s face it, playing lacrosse can get expensive. But if you run a team or a league that can get to be even more of a burden. Field fees, refs, league fees, goals, and equipment add up. And for some reason no matter how of good a shooting team you are you still manage to go through a case of balls pretty quickly.

That’s why so many teams look for new and creative ways to raise money for their program. A new way to raise money for lacrosse teams just launched: mysportkit.com. Mysportkit.com is the idea of Lee Southren and his partners. Southren is better known as the lacrosse agent, having represented some of the top names in the sport. Mysportkit.com comes from his experience in a different area: parent.

The idea is simple. Users can go to mysportkit.com and create an account for their team by e-mailing [email protected]. After doing that you will get a code that you can give directly to your players and their families. Mysportkit.com acts as an online store. When players log into mysportkit.com and purchase any items. At checkout they put in the code for your team and $2.00 of every purchase goes back to your program.

Currently mysportkit.com features nine products, including TapouT mouth guards, the MaxXcel training aid, and Adrenaline apparel. The site will be adding additional products in the future.

Lacrosse Playground

In 2009, Adam O’Neill, Harry Alford and Thomas Alford launched Lacrosse Playground as the preeminent site for lacrosse gearheads. For years Lacrosse Playground provided lacrosse fans with tutorials and tips on how to string a lacrosse head, up-close looks at the gear the top players used and sneak peeks at equipment and uniforms before they were released. More than 10 years and millions of visits later, Lacrosse Playground has relaunched with a focus on storytelling. Our mission is to provide comprehensive coverage of the latest lacrosse news, share insights into the sports betting and fantasy lacrosse world and showcase the lifestyles and personalities of the sport of lacrosse through articles, videos and podcasts.
