About
LAXIFIED
A Subsidiary of L.R. Lax, Inc.
A
lifelong lacrosse enthusiast Lyn Reitenbach grew up watching her
brothers play lacrosse in Binghamton and then at Cornell University. When she found her way to
Cornell she tried her hand at playing the game and immediately fell in
love.
Lyn has coached the Ithaca High School Girls Varsity Lacrosse
Team since 1998. Not long after that her friend Mark Wenham, founder of
the wildly popular Turkeyshoot Lacrosse Tournament suggested that she
start a tournament for girls on the day before the Turkeyshoot. The
Goblin Games started as a four team event and now attracts a large
number of teams in grades 2-12 for a fast paced weekend of 8 v 8 "Fall
Ball" in Ithaca NY. The family of Laxified tournaments has expanded to
include the MLK Day Indoor tournament in January and “The Launchpad”,
Laxified’s full field tourney held for the first time in June 2008 in
Cortland NY
Lyn has also organized numerous club teams for
players of all ages in the Finger Lakes Region of New York. She is the
chairperson of the "At-Large Committee" of the Women's Division Post
Collegiate Club Council (WDPCC) and strives to create opportunities for
post-collegiate players to get back on the field after graduation. Lyn
coordinates and plays for Team Laxified each summer at the Lake Placid
Summit Lacrosse tournament and has helped organize women's divisions at
various tournaments around the U.S.
Laxified was born in the
Fall of 2005 when Lyn enlisted website developer Jed Ostrom of Next
Interactives LLC to help develop a tournament management system to
assist in making the Goblin Games run smoothly. As the duo worked,
other opportunities unfolded that fit with Lyn's commitment to growing
the sport of lacrosse. What began as a simple re-structuring of the
tournament's website became a project dedicated to giving coaches and
organizers the tools and resources to communicate with their lacrosse
community more efficiently and effectively.
As a coach and
mother she became curious about the recruiting process and "My Lacrosse
Resume” is an attempt to expose young players to the fantastic
opportunities that exist to play intercollegiate lacrosse while making
it easier for College Coaches to access accurate information.
Laxified
is excited about helping young athletes find the right fit, and aiding
Camp and Tournament Directors organize quality events. Laxified's tools are used by many camps, clinics, club teams and tournaments around the country. Laxified is All Lacrosse……..
All the time.
