What is Lax Scout?
Lax Scout is the premiere recruiting service for lacrosse. It was designed specifically for the sport by some of the best people in the game. What separates Lax Scout from the rest is our global proprietary network of highly experienced, credible and unbiased Scouts and our ability to leverage this network to deliver valuable information to college recruiters. This information is provided to coaches through highly intuitive, web-based tools and Lax Scout's annual publication, the High School Lacrosse Recruiting Report, which is unique to the sport.
What Is Lax Scout's Mission?
Lax Scout was founded with the principal intention of exposing high school students from any local to NCAA and club lacrosse programs throughout the United States. Our mission is to help student-athletes find a collegiate program that is consistent with their performance objectives. We want to help students leverage their physical talents so that they may continue their athletic careers while pursuing their academic goals in college.
Who Is Involved With Lax Scout?

Why Lax Scout?
Youth lacrosse is exploding in this country, and every year more and more high school lacrosse players graduate. Unfortunately, of these graduates many end up finishing their careers and never make it to a collegiate team. The reason, many high school players are unaware of the opportunities to play in college whether that means a top NCAA program, or a burgeoning new upstart.
Lax Scout's founders recognize the lack of exposure for students at the national level and have devised a vehicle to assist them while providing college programs with a new source of talented athletes. By helping to bridge the gap between youth and college programs, lacrosse can enjoy continued growth and someday become a true national sport.
