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!

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!
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!
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!
2033 Event Recap
The 2033s kicked off their full field play at Love 2 Lax with a mix of nerves, excitement and lots of energy! Transitioning to full field play is a big step, filled with learning moments, growth and tons of opportunity. 2033s embraced it all with heart showing determination and teamwork every step of the way. Building that team bond off the field with snacks, piggyback rides and lots of laughs. Learning here at REV success is not defined by the score, it is about giving 110%, never giving up and supporting each other. The wins will come organically as this group grows!
The goal right now is preparing these players to thrive in our high school program come the 8th grade. This is all part of the process, and full field play takes time to learn and adjust to!
There were so many lessons learned! From the importance of staying dialed in and focused on the sidelines, to always being ready to hit the field when their moment comes, to battling through tough competition. At times, we even faced older teams with more full field experience, but they battled through it!
Along the way they learned an important takeaway: we can only control what we can control. Instead of worrying about the other teams, the 2033s focused on the core values of REVlax: giving 110%, never quitting and supporting our teammates along the way. There is where real growth happens!
From new faces to new rules, this team had so many amazing moments! From Claire Davis’s nonstop hustle to Liv Scholhamer taking her fast break and Anna Harrington stepping into her QB role in the cage. These 2033s are putting in the work and showing what it means to go all out. Fired up for this group, BIG things ahead! The first tournament on the full field is officially in the books, CONGRATS!!

The CHILL
When: October 20, 2025
Where: Devens, MA
Event Recap
The 2033s brought unmatched energy to their second full-field tournament of the fall! This group is steadily learning what it means to play at full speed, push through fatigue, fight for every ground ball, and stay locked in from whistle to whistle.
The New England CHILL was full of moments that highlighted their growth and progress in every game. Charlotte Brown turned on the jets in game two, pushing herself to top speed and setting the tone for her teammates.
Lessons from REVlax coach and former collegiate coach Jess Spurr reinforced how easy it is to lose focus or not run full speed, but true development comes from embracing the hard moments. The 2033s are learning to bring their max effort every time they step on the field and stay locked in on the sidelines, even through challenges like the post-lunch slump. That game-to-game intensity is exactly why running in lines and conditioning drills are so critical — they build the ability to hit top speed no matter the circumstances.
Even in their final game, where they fell just short by a single goal, the team showcased tremendous growth in just one day, learning how to sustain the “max speed” mentality for every shift, every play, and every game.
This group is loaded with potential, and once the 12v12 mentality clicks fully, everything will start to flow seamlessly. The habits they are building now — showing up with speed, grit, focus, and confidence — are laying the foundation for future success and preparing each player to shine as they continue to grow in their REVlax journey.
🦈 Shark Award 🦈
Anna Harrington: ANNA!! Your growth in tracking and stepping to the ball was so great to see! Being a goalie is not easy, but your determination to improve each game is what will bring you to the next level. You were fearless in the cage, making big saves and improving your communication every time the ball was on the defensive end! Keep bringing that focus and that drive to get better, your hard work is paying off!!
Grace Nathan: Grace! When you step on the field, you truly embody what it means to be a REVlaxer. From encouraging your teammates to giving 110%, that is what it is all about! Keep bringing that positivity and energy into each game!
Lucy Wishart: Lucy, you brought nonstop hustle and stayed locked in from start to finish! Switching hands, winning 50/50 balls and making plays, you have truly leveled up. We are excited to see all the next level moments you are going to create this fall season!
GHOST GAMES
When: October 26, 2025
Where: Farmington, CT
Event Recap
The 2033s arrived at Ghost Games locked in and ready to build on last week’s momentum. From team bonding, badminton and donuts, the growth from one weekend to the next was undeniable, going 2-1 on the day. There has been so much improvement since their first event at Love 2 Lax!
Game one against Metro, the 2033 brought fire, running full speed, and taking care of the ball! We began integrating pieces of the REVlax high school offensive playbook, worked to balance playing fast with hearing and applying coaching direction from the sidelines.
The ability to process, adjust and execute in real time showed impressive maturity and development and built into game two vs. Gold Coast. The pace and effort never wavered, reaching new speeds in transition and the 2033s learned an important lesson, the ball moves faster than feet. The next step for this group is picking up their heads in transition to find the open teammate and move the ball quickly and with purpose.
Game three brought the biggest growth moment of the day - a physical, back and forth battle against the Jesters that demanded full-speed effort through game three fatigue. A standout moment came from Maddy Hughes coming off the field after a midfield shift, breathing heavily and asking, “Is this what it feels like when you run so hard?” The answer: Yes, that is what pushing to the next level looks like. Go you, Maddy!
The 2033s energy is contagious and their potential is unmatched. The REVlax process is working and great things are ahead! WE ARE SO EXCITED!
🦈 Shark Award 🦈
Charline Ypres : it is amazing to see you battling for and winning those 50/50 balls and pushing the ball in transition with confidence. You were such a great teammate on and off the field and truly left it all on the field!
Perryn Farrell: Perryn!! CRUSHING IT all over the field at Ghost Games! Your gritty plays, ground balls, man defense and constant communication brought next level energy to the team. It is so great to see you loving defense, keep bringing that fire!
