Practice Recap
WELCOME BACK! We were back on the fields for the first time since summer tournaments, and they did not disappoint! From the moment players arrived, the energy was electric — smiles, laughs, and hugs all around as teammates reconnected. It is SO special to see the bonds that make REVlax so special – lifelong friends!
It was clear that everyone returned not just eager to play, but with purpose, showcasing the hard work over the summer break.
Our first session focused on getting back into the fast pace of the game while sharpening fundamental skills. Players battled through 3v3s, emphasizing spacing, ball movement, and reading the defense. Coaches were impressed by how quickly players re-engaged with the concepts, communicating effectively and making smart decisions under pressure.
From there, we transitioned into east/west play, pushing full-speed transitions while working on attacking open lanes, staying marked up in defense, and maintaining intensity on every possession. The energy wasn’t just on the field — players were vocal on the sidelines, supporting teammates and celebrating great plays, which is exactly the culture that REVdevo fosters.
It was a fantastic first practice back! The focus, effort, and excitement we saw today are exactly what will set the tone for a strong fall. Players are not just building skills — they’re building teamwork, awareness, and confidence that will carry into every game this season.
We can’t wait to see how each group continues to grow — both individually and collectively — as the weeks go on. Let’s keep this energy rolling!
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!
Practice Recap
Week Two!!!! A beautiful afternoon at Moses Brown set the stage for another strong and high-energy practice. Even while juggling fall sports, attendance and engagement were top-notch, and the commitment from every player was evident. Building on the form, fundamentals, and mechanics from last week, the 2031s–2037s continued to advance their lacrosse IQ, particularly in man-up and man-down situations, while bringing motion offense to life in competitive 7v7 play.
The 2031s–2033s had the opportunity to work closely with several full-time staffers, including REVdevo Director Haley McCusker, benefiting from her expertise and guidance throughout the session. These groups spent time working through 4v3 scenarios, focusing on quick ball movement, staying disciplined in their outside hands, and maintaining constant communication.
The 2033s in particular worked on the foundation for full-field play, learning where to be in transition and how to properly execute responsibilities within motion offense and defense. They practiced purposeful cuts, reading ball-side and back-side responsibilities, and creating opportunities through smart spacing and movement — critical skills that will set them up for success in game situations throughout the season.
Meanwhile, the 2034s–2037s had the privilege of working with Sabrina, REVdevo’s full-time Director who launched the REVdevo program over 13 years ago. This group focused on breaking down man-up and man-down scenarios into 2v1 drills off ground balls, emphasizing rapid recognition of game situations, maintaining awareness, and communicating under pressure. They then transitioned into 7v7 play, practicing finding the first pass quickly, moving with purpose, and attacking the goal efficiently — all while applying the lessons of spacing, timing, and decision-making from earlier in the session.
Across all age groups, the growth from Week One to Week Two was noticeable. Players were more connected, moving with intention, and communicating effectively, demonstrating an increased understanding of their roles within both offensive and defensive systems. The combination of high-level coaching, competitive drills, and team cohesion created a productive and dynamic environment, setting a strong foundation for continued progress.
Week Two highlighted the importance of practice in building chemistry, IQ, and confidence, and we are excited to see how each group continues to develop as the season progresses. With the energy, focus, and leadership displayed this week, REVdevo is well on its way to an exceptional fall season!
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 camaraderie, 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!
2032 Event Recap
The 2032s had a day full of growth, energy, and constant improvement. This group is AWESOME and is going to have a bright future!!!!
Game one was all about shaking off the summer rust, getting back into the groove, and learning to trust our sticks and each other. We fought hard against the team that went on to win the championship, and even in a tough matchup, we grew a lot as a group through perseverance and rising to the challenge!
Game two showed a completely different 2032s team. This is why tournaments are SO special. They offer the opportunity to change game to game, which is SO cool. Players should up focused, coordinated, and connected. Success on the draw set the tone, and on both ends of the field, the team started to play as one unit. Offensively, the ball movement improved dramatically, players created space for each other, and the shots on net started coming with purpose.
In game three, the sideline energy, communication, and team spirit brought this group to life. The goal for the 2032s moving forward is simple: show up, compete, and bring your best from whistle to whistle. When they do, it’s clear how much talent, grit, and potential this group has — and it’s exciting to see it start to shine.
As we head into the next tournament, the 2032s are building momentum, learning from each experience, and showing that when they play together, there’s no limit to what they can accomplish. Not to mention, they have unmatched energy and LOVE for eachother – it is so awesome to witness!

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!
Practice Recap
DEVO NATION closed out their fall practice season with energy, focus, and purpose! The field was buzzing as players built on the form and mechanics from last week and ran live game reps with a strong emphasis on settled offense and defense — putting the finishing touches on their fall preparation before tournament season.
The 2031s broke down 1v1s, refining motion offense, defensive positioning, and east/west play, sharpening the fundamentals that will set them up for success. They are really looking like leaders out there and it is so cool to see them step up their game!
Meanwhile, the 2032s and 2033s took to the full field, with our 5th graders preparing to step onto the big field for the first time next week. They got to work hand in hand with REVlax Founder, Lukas Cash, who has built hundreds of top players over the past two decades– how cool is that?! These groups focused on transition play, pushing the fast break, creating space, and moving the ball with purpose. And a shout out to the parents who let us keep the players for an extra 15 minutes to maximize time on the field – we appreciate you! 😊
The 2034s–2037s worked on live action drills, emphasizing offensive execution, defensive communication, and understanding where to be on the field — from draw setups to marking up in transition.
Across every age group, the 2031s–2037s embodied the core principles of REV: being supportive teammates, giving 110%, and never quitting. Players were reminded that true growth comes from embracing challenges and stepping outside comfort zones to develop new skills, both individually and as a team.
It was an inspiring way to close out the fall, leaving players confident, prepared, and ready to bring their energy, focus, and skill to a competitive and exciting tournament season ahead. DEVO NATION is building momentum, and we can’t wait to see this group in action!
The CHILL
When: October 20, 2025
Where: Devens, MA
Event Recap
After a week of dialing into wall work following the first fall tournament, the 2032s came to The CHILL ready to elevate their game. They brought energy, focus, and a fierce desire to compete, finishing 2-0-1 and advancing to the playoffs. Players had the opportunity to meet Coach Izzy Planchet, REVlax alum and current Bryant University player.
After The CHILL, it is really clear as day. When the 2032s play to their full potential, they cannot be stopped.
Game one vs. Laxachusetts started with a bit of rust, ending the first half down 2-6. But the 2032s flipped the script in the second half, battling for every 50/50, pushing transition and going full speed. They allowed just one goal, won the half 5-1, tying the game 7–7! That “stay in the fight” is what REVlax is all about! Their success in this game set the tone for the rest of the day!
And that playoff game… UNREAL!! The 2032s showed grit, energy and heart, falling short by just one and not for a lack of fight. Three pipes in the final two minutes! That is a team competing at full speed, believing in each other and going all out until the final whistle!
Shark Awards

GHOST GAMES
When: October 26, 2025
Where: Farmington, CT
Event Recap
What a day for the 2032s! They came out firing on all cylinders in game one, controlling the draw, staying locked in on defense, and allowing Cora and Sloane to make some key saves. On offense, they were finding the back of the net and showing why this group has so much potential.
We are eager to continue working with this group to advance their Lax IQ - particularly in cutting effectively for each other on offense. That extra attention to spacing and movement will be the difference between tying games, like we did in game two, and winning games, like the tight battle in game three.
This team is right on the edge of greatness. We’re already seeing huge improvements and players executing on the feedback coaches are giving them. The next step? Fully committing to cutting next to the ball and creating space for teammates — and this group will truly shine. The progress today shows just how much potential is within this team, and the future is extremely bright for the 2032s!

Event Recap
A winning record in New York was jam packed with grit, physicality and next level growth. 2032s battled through close games and then stepped into the fire against a Yellow Jackets team that went undefeated, out scoring all of their opponents (except REV) by almost twenty. Instead of backing down, the 2032s elevated their game, tightened up on communication and turned the physical play up a notch.
The highlight came when the Yellow Jackets coach called giving the 2032s a major shout out saying REV gave them toughest battle of their entire day, proof of the energy and relentless fight this team brings. Even when the rain rolled in, the pace stayed high, the intensity stayed sharp, and this group kept pushing. It was no doubt a statement day for 2032s!!!!

FALL DRAW
When: November 16, 2025
Where: Flemington, NJ
Event Recap
The first team travel trip is officially in the books for the 2032s! From bus games to clip decorating to navigating all the “new” that comes with team travel and hitting the road without parents, this weekend brought nerves, excitement, challenges and so much growth – on and off the field.
Team travel is a big adjustment! It offers players the incredible opportunity to navigate independence, listening and bonding off the field. It always creates unforgettable moments, sleeping in a new environment with teammates, taking ownership of nutrition and still showing up ready to compete on the lacrosse field! These experiences starting in the 6th grade have been a contributing factor for over 20 years to the success of our REVlax players.. As it gives REVlax players the confidence and independence needed to navigate the full demands of high-level showcase weekends solo once they are in the recruiting process.
On the field, the 2032s stayed in the fight all weekend, even while navigating all of the newness that comes with travelling as a team. What stood out most was the way this group ended the day. In the final game the 2032s dug deep, stayed in the fight and closed out the game with three back-to-back goals, showing the grit, belief and competitive fire we have been talking about all fall.
This grad year is special, loaded with talent, incredibly coachable and fully committed to implementing adjustments. They have a bond that runs deep and friendships that will last a lifetime. Now the focus shifts to winter work and staying locked in. The foundation is set, time to build, grow and come back even stronger this summer!

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! 🎄🥍
