2034 team - 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!

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!
2034 Event Recap
The 2034s kicked off the day in style! They were the first REVlax team to hit the fields in their brand-new uniforms! What an incredible start to the fall tournament season!
For the 2034s, the growth from this summer is next level. They truly started coming together showing up to compete, going all out and bringing the energy and excitement for each other on and off the field!
The day was full of incredible moments! From the hustle, quick defensive matchups, to fighting for every 50/50 ball the process is working for this group! Starting game one of the fall tournament season with a big win over Compass, showcasing exactly what they can achieve when they battle for ground balls and show up ready to compete.
Game two against Mass Elite brought both intensity and an important lesson in the process for 2034s. The 2034s fell short in a close, two goal game. Although score is never the focus at REV, there are moments when a win is within reach, and this was one of those moments. The 2034s played lights out for most of the game, but in the final minutes with the heat, heavy legs slowed momentum. The intensity behind 50/50 balls dropped and the energy on the field and sidelines shifted, putting us in a game of catchup for the last six minutes.
That game was very much attainable for the 2034s and they learned the importance of going 110% from whistle to whistle. This is just one piece of the process and how exciting it is to see these 4th graders embracing it so early in their lacrosse development. The 2034s took that lesson and applied it in game three, staying in the fight from whistle to whistle and giving their all on every ground ball, no matter the score. The REVlaxers focused on what they could control, going 110%, effort, intensity and that never quit attitude, even when the opponent rotated through multiple goalies from other teams. The 2034s have shown they are here to compete and we are SO impressed by their growth!
🦈 Shark Award 🦈
Marley Provanzano: Marley!!! Crushing it, earning the first Shark of the fall! You showed up ready to lead from warmups to the field, staying locked in the entire game. Marley, you had your jets on with that nonstop running and ground ball battles! And don’t think we didn’t hear your communication when taking the ball over to the offensive end of the field. It is so special to see how far you have come since joining REV in the spring! We are so excited for your bright future!
Talia Orleck: Talia!!! What a day! Your first tournament and your first REVlax goal in the same day... SO AMAZING! We are beyond fired up to have you with us at REVlax. You were such a hustler and gave it your all every time you stepped on the field! We cannot wait to see all the incredible moments to come for you!
Love 2 Lax Issued Teammate Awards
We could not choose just one 2034 for the Morgans Message Teammate Award because every player on the field embodied what it was all about! Every single 2034 REVlaxer stepped up, showed incredible growth since the summer and brought hype and energy to the field. So proud of this team and how they show up for each other both on and off the field!
FALL FEAR
When: October 13, 2025
Where: Devens, MA
Event Recap
What an amazing second tournament for the 2034s! Despite the pouring rain and cold temperature, this group took all of the momentum from the previous week and hit the fields FULL SPEED!
They started the game playing Mass Elite. In fact, they had just played the same team the week before and lost by 2. Our players took everything they learned in week one, and applied it to this game. They came out hard, connected immediately, hustled on all 50/50 balls and won handedly! How cool is that?!
The second game was a battle - our players learned about carrying their composure while competing against teams that have different levels of physicality. We talked about rising above when opponents challenge the refs and continuing to play OUR game, no matter what.
The final game vs. 3D New England was a perfect end to the day! At this point, players were soaking wet – but this did not slow them down! They continued to work together, win the draw, transition down the field and finish every opportunity. The defense also played LIGHTS OUT and did a fantastic job.
We are so proud of this group. Their growth is nothing short of impressive! Players, you should hear how the staff raved about your improvement in our recap meeting. While it is not exclusively about the score at this level of REVlax, it’s exciting to point out that this group went from 1-2 in the first event to 2-1 in this event!
The future is BRIGHT for the 2034s!
🦈 Shark Award 🦈
