2028 black - fall recaps
PRACTICE #1
When: September 14, 2025
Where: Boston, MA
General Practice Summary
The fall season has OFFICIALLY begun!
What a perfect day to be back on the fields with REVlax Nation! Boston showed off its perfect September weather, and you all matched it with incredible energy.
This was a team practice, which brings together the whole club in one location. It is such a special opportunity to come together to grow and connect. Families came from FIVE states – and we are so grateful to our community for making it happen!
It was special to see so many returners, who jumped back in like no time had passed in August! And talk about EXCITEMENT to see all of our new families in one place. We are so excited about the families who have joined our community for REV23 – talk about talent, personality and energy! Some have transitioned from other programs to experience the magic of REVlax, while others are new to the club scene - and we cannot wait to see them shine!
The practice plan was packed with live-play action as we worked through final roster evaluations for the fall season. Players brought intensity, teamwork, and focus—everything we love to see on the field. The best part? Everyone left having met someone new.
We also had a great time connecting with our 2028–2037 families during their Fall Kickoff meetings. Thank you to all the families for fitting the meeting into your schedule!
These sessions were a special opportunity for players and parents to hear directly from our staff about the season ahead—our goals, expectations, and vision for the program. Your enthusiasm, engagement, and commitment truly set the tone for what’s shaping up to be an incredible year with REV Nation.
Here’s to a fantastic start to the 23rd year of REVlax—let’s make this year our best yet!
2028 Practice Recap
WAHOOO! WE ARE BACK! We cannot tell you how much we miss the 2028s when we are on break – and it felt AMAZING to be back at it with this special class. Both teams really WOWed the REVlax staff with the energy and focus everyone brought.
We kicked things off with shuttles to reset our movement, footwork, and overall pace of play after the break. From there, we jumped into the 3-man weave, pushing the tempo and emphasizing quick passing, clean spacing, and strong communication — all key elements as we build toward more fluid, cohesive team play.
Next up was a fast-paced stickwork circuit, where players focused on reacting quickly and handling the ball cleanly under pressure. This kind of sharp, technical work will continue to be a staple in our practices moving forward.
We then rolled into 7s at four nets, splitting players evenly by position and grad year. This format gave everyone valuable reps in small-sided, high-tempo situations — a great opportunity to make quick reads, move off-ball, and compete with pace and purpose.
To close out the day, we transitioned into full-field gameplay, applying everything we worked on earlier in the session. There were some really strong moments out there, especially in transition, along with areas to tighten up — fitness (always!), communication, spacing, and off-ball awareness on both sides of the field.
All in all, this was a great first step as we kick off the fall season. Players, take a few minutes to reflect on what we focused on and how you approached each drill — the more you understand the why behind every rep, the faster your game will grow. Let’s keep building, 2028s! This is YOUR year!
PRACTICE #2
When: September 21, 2025
Where: Providence, RI
General Practice Summary
It was another perfect September day for our second Team Practice of the fall! The weather and vibes were immaculate!
REVlax rotates team practices between our two largest hubs, Boston and Providence, giving players exposure to different environments and allowing all families the opportunity to engage with the program. As always, we so appreciate everyone’s effort to get to every practice site!
Practice #2 was held at the 9x RI State Championship Field — Moses Brown! Moses Brown has a long history of top-tier lacrosse players, many of whom have been REVlax alumna, and it’s always incredible to feel that energy of excellence on the field. It sets the tone for our players and inspires them to push themselves to be their best.
The REVdevo practice was packed with energy, while our high school teams came in focused and ready to elevate their game in preparation for the fall season.
Team practices are integral to every group’s cohesion and chemistry, and this week was no exception. With team rosters finalized, players were able to start connecting directly with the teammates they will play with for fall tournaments. At REVlax, consistency and cohesion are the foundation of success, and every team practice fuels this intention.
Even from the first week to the second, the progress for each group was palpable. It was so cool to see each team really work on their connections on the field, resulting in some really impressive standout moments throughout the day!
The energy, teamwork, and focus on the field are exactly what make REVlax so special, and we will never forget this gorgeous afternoon in Rhode Island!
2028Black Practice Recap
The 28Black team had nearly perfect attendance for this practice! The consistency of this team is their superpower – they are all locked in, and it really is special to see. Having the whole squad together made a big impact on the pace and quality of the session. We opened with a sequential passing drill that emphasized clean feeds, sharp timing, and accountability off-ball. It was a strong way to reestablish rhythm and reinforce the importance of supporting each other through movement and communication.
After the opener, we moved into four focused stations that hit key areas of our team game. In the Motion station, we worked on creating movement with purpose — using cuts, spacing, and timing to generate better looks and keep the offense dynamic. The Man Up/Man Down segment (True North) challenged guys to communicate clearly and execute in special situations, where small decisions make a big difference. Shooting gave us a chance to lock in on mechanics and shot selection, focusing on reps with intention and precision. The Clears station was high-tempo, putting pressure on both sides to be organized and decisive in transition.
We closed out the day with East-West play on the mini fields, which brought a competitive edge and forced quick thinking in tight spaces. It was fast, physical, and showed who was locked in through the final whistle.
Reflecting on this practice, it easily ranks as one of the best in 28Black’s history! The energy, execution, and team presence were absolutely unmatched. With nearly everyone in attendance and fully engaged, the level of play was noticeably elevated — exactly the standard we aim to maintain moving forward. We can’t wait to see how the momentum from this practice carries into the team’s success this fall!
PRACTICE #3
When: September 28, 2025
Where: Boston, MA
General Practice Summary
Two words to define September so far: IDEAL WEATHER! REVlax thrives in all conditions, but when it’s 60 degrees and sunny, it’s pure perfection — and today was a gorgeous fall day in Boston to close out our fall team practices.
It’s incredible how quickly the past three weeks have flown by and how much improvement we’ve seen across every group. With the majority of the club attending all three sessions, we’ve witnessed a dramatic increase in team chemistry and cohesion. On top of that, every individual player has made huge strides — dusting off any cobwebs from the off-season and fully stepping back into REVlax mode. The growth in confidence, skill, and focus has been exciting to watch, and it sets the stage for a strong foundation going into tournament season. A special shout to all the parents who put time in the car to make it happen – we appreciate you SO much!
For the final team practice of the fall, the REVdevo players brought the electric energy that makes the youth players so special. Players were buzzing with excitement, as they prepared for upcoming fall tournaments and full-field live play. The 2033s had their first full-field game experience, supported by the 2032s, in a competitive 12v12 scrimmage — learning spacing, transition responsibilities, and how to read the field in real time. Meanwhile, the 31–34 teams were sharpening their fundamentals and putting their motion offense and man-up/man-down concepts into action in a fast-paced, game-like setting.
When our High School teams hit the field, the focus and intensity immediately ramped up. Each team executed with precision, communicated effectively, and demonstrated the teamwork that’s been building throughout the fall. They really dialed in to each and every drill, setting the tone for the upcoming tournament season. As a staff, we are so impressed by the progress, energy, and cohesion we’ve seen from every team over the past three weeks.
As we close out fall practices, we couldn’t be more excited to see all of our teams carry this momentum to the game field. Every player has laid a strong foundation, and now it’s time to take all that energy, skill, and teamwork to the next level — and represent REVlax Nation on the tournament circuit!
2028Black Practice Recap
Week #3 — Back at it for the final team practice of the fall!
This week marked another step forward for 28Black. This team has genuine national-level potential and they are really hitting their stride as an elite squad.
We started practice with the full-field 3-man weave, and while the pace was a bit slower than this group is capable of, it gave us an important snapshot of where we can grow. Stick skills, conditioning, and precision were areas to sharpen, and this drill reminded us that every rep matters — clean passing, smart spacing, and purposeful movement set the foundation for national-level play.
We reset and ran the 3-man weave East to West, and the response was immediate. The energy soared, competitiveness kicked in, and focus sharpened. This is exactly the kind of mental toughness and intensity we need to elevate this team from very good to truly great. Every player began to showcase the effort and attention to detail that national-level teams demand, and it was thrilling to see the potential in action.
From there, we moved into four stations: Shooting, Pie Drill, 1v1s, and Man Up/Man Down. In Shooting, we worked on accuracy and form, encouraging players to be deliberate and efficient with their shots. The Pie Drill challenged quick decision-making and communication in tight spaces. The 1v1s tested competitiveness on both offense and defense, helping us identify who is stepping up. Finally, the Man Up/Man Down station focused on executing our 4-3 sets with discipline and teamwork.
We closed with full-field games, and the improvement was clear. Ball movement was sharper, spacing was cleaner, and the intensity was elevated compared to the start of practice. The key takeaway is simple but powerful: effort, focus, and execution must be present from the very first drill. That’s the standard for a team with national aspirations — and this group is fully capable of rising to it.
The bar is high, but so is the potential. With continued commitment, focus, and attention to detail, this team is positioned to compete at the highest levels and make a statement this fall and beyond. The foundation is in place, the talent is undeniable, and the mindset is ready — let’s bring that same intensity and determination to the remainder of the fall season, and keep building toward greatness!
LOVE TO LAX
When: October 5, 2025
Where: Devens, MA
Love 2 Lax was an incredible showcase of skill, energy, and growth! REVlax brought the fun, intensity, and competition to Devens, with families and players creating an electric atmosphere all day. It was a beautiful fall weekend — a little warm, but the sun was shining, the leaves were turning, and the stage was set for some outstanding lacrosse.
The 30Black team dominated on Saturday, taking home the Championship with precision, teamwork, and relentless energy. On Sunday, the 28Black team brought the same fire, battling through tough competition to earn their Championship title. Both teams showed exactly what REVlax is all about — skill, focus, and heart.
But it wasn’t just the champions who shined. Every team improved tremendously from the start to the finish of the day. The 31Heart team, for example, just missed the championship game! The progress each team made, the cohesion they built, and the level of play they reached by the end of the day was inspiring. Across the board, players grew in confidence, execution, and teamwork — a clear sign of the efforts applied to our three team practices in September!
What makes REVlax so special isn’t just the championships or the skill level — it’s the comradery, class, and sportsmanship of our players and families. Watching everyone come together, support each other, and celebrate the game is what makes this community truly unique. And a special shout out to all the new players who’s first event was Love 2 Lax!
It was amazing to see so much growth, energy, and excitement from every single team, and we can’t wait to see how far these players will go over the rest of the fall season. If this weekend was any indication, REV23 is off to an incredible start!
2028Black Event Recap
Record: CHAMPIONS: 3-0-1
What a day for 28Black! From the very first whistle, this group brought controlled chaos — the REV kind — intensity, energy, and focus that set the tone for the entire event.
The day started with a powerful message from REV Founder, Lukas Cash, and Recruiting Director, Meg Reddy, who challenged the team to raise the bar. They spoke about dialing in, playing to their full potential, and never wasting opportunities — because every rep, every moment, matters.
And 28Black answered that challenge in a big way. They didn’t just meet the standard — they raised it. The players bought in, trusted each other, and began to truly believe — in themselves, their teammates, and their shared potential. You could feel the shift. This wasn’t just a team playing lacrosse; it was a team discovering what it’s capable of when fully locked in together.
By the end of the day, 28Black stood tall with a 3-0-1 record and an absolutely dominant 4-0 Championship win, holding their opponent scoreless. That kind of defensive effort, focus, and chemistry doesn’t happen by accident — it’s earned through preparation, grit, and buy-in.
But the most impressive part of the day wasn’t just the scoreboard. It was the transformation. This group reached a new level — mentally, physically, and emotionally. They found their rhythm, trusted the process, and realized that they have what it takes to compete at an elite level.
This is what growth looks like. This is pride in action. And now that the standard has been set, we don’t go back — we build on it.
Players, be proud of what you accomplished. You didn’t just win a trophy — you changed your mindset, and in doing so, you showed everyone (including yourselves) what 28Black is truly capable of. The foundation has been laid. Now it’s time to keep climbing.

HOLIDAY CLINIC
When: December 7, 2025
Where: Taunton, MA
Holiday Clinic is one of our favorite events of the year, and for good reason. It marks the final event of the year for REV as one complete group—a chance to spend time together, enjoy each other’s company, and squeeze in our last lacrosse of 2025. This year was extra special, as we welcomed one of the largest Holiday Clinic turnouts ever, with over 230 players in attendance. The holiday spirit was on full display in Taunton, with players and coaches rocking their favorite festive outfits throughout the day.
Of course, there was plenty of lacrosse to go around. After warming up, players jumped right into station work focused heavily on live-play concepts. Our DEVO groups had a blast with fast-paced ground ball drills, stick work, and 1v1s, while our high school players competed in 1v1s of their own and high-tempo man-up/man-down drills that provided nonstop reps and great game-like experience.
Midday, we hit pause on lacrosse for one of the most anticipated parts of Holiday Clinic—our annual all-club fun! Players were split into 21 mixed-age, holiday-themed teams and competed for candy prizes in three relay races.
The first challenge was the stick-bridge relay, where teams raced to collect their sticks, engineer the strongest bridge, and have all teammates crawl underneath. Creativity and problem-solving were on full display—REV clearly has some future engineers in the making! Team Dreidel Dazzlers, led by Claudia Bonaventura, took the win with the fastest and most effective design.
Next up was the trivia relay, mixing REV knowledge with New England sports mascots and state capitals. (Shoutout to Lucky the Leprechaun for giving a few teams trouble—REVnation is officially encouraged to watch more Celtics games in 2026.) Team Jingle Ballers, led by Keira O’Connell and Meg Reddy, powered through all 10 questions and secured the win.
The final relay brought out everyone’s competitive spirit with our holiday twist on a classic—Snowman, Christmas Tree, Reindeer. Teams raced around snowmen and trees and crawled under reindeer to get everyone back to the start line. Team Silent Knights, led by Erin Canning, flew through the course to earn the final prize—and some serious bragging rights. For many players, the relay races were a highlight of the day, combining competition, fun, and the chance to connect with teammates across the club.
We wrapped up our lacrosse intermission with our coveted Holiday Clinic group photo—the biggest in years—featuring smiling faces, incredible holiday outfits, and Meg Reddy’s annual lightning-fast photobomb appearance.
The day finished strong with plenty of live play. High school teams competed across grade levels, producing fast, competitive, and exciting games. At the DEVO level, live play filled the fields, with players proudly keeping their holiday gear on. Our youngest players mixed fun games with small-sided action, while older DEVO groups logged a ton of 7v7 reps, focusing on pace and decision-making. The energy across the facility was unreal.
We closed the day together as a club, announcing the winner of the Holiday Costume Contest—Gray Ballou (2035)—who took home a brand-new stick! Once again, Holiday Clinic was an unforgettable event and a special opportunity for REVnation to come together under one roof. Our staff loves ending the year this way, surrounded by the energy, enthusiasm, and passion our players bring every time they step on the field.
Happy Holidays, REVnation—bring that same energy, fun, and hard work into 2026! 🎄🥍
BOSTON STRONG
When: Sunday, February 8, 2026
Where: Taunton, MA
General Event Summary
REVlax had a strong showing at the Boston Strong Lacrosse Tournament, competing against local clubs and representing with pride and intensity. Both 2028Black & 2029Black made impressive runs to the championship games in their divisions.
Throughout the day, both teams competed from the first whistle to the last, demonstrating growth, resilience, and a high level of execution. The Boston Strong tournament was full of valuable experience for both groups as they continue to develop and build momentum moving forward.
2028Black
28Black finished the day with a strong 2–2 record, advancing to the championship game after winning the first two matchups and ultimately falling by just one goal in a hard-fought final. Throughout the event, the team showed tremendous effort, resilience, and growth. Players stepped up across the board with clutch goals, key assists, timely interceptions, and relentless hustle in every phase of the game.
While there was a brief dip in momentum during game three, the way that this group responded was impressive, as the team regrouped and bounced back with renewed energy and focus. Overall, the team's performance reflected how much they have developed. Every player contributed in meaningful ways, and the collective effort made us a stronger, more competitive team. The players should be proud of what they accomplished and carry this momentum forward into the upcoming high school seasons and summer play!
