Hofstra Lacrosse Coaches Clinic

By Reece

Spent the morning on Long Island at the Hofstra Lacrosse Coaches Clinic, courtesy of Coach Seth Tierney. He had a huge turnout for his clinic for youth and high school coaches and we took a few minutes to promote HOMEFIELD and talk with the coaches in attendance. Great responses from the coaches of the traditional hot-bed for the game of lacrosse. We can't wait to start letting in users from the LI high school area. It's such a solid area for high school sports, and we know HOMEFIELD can make an impact for a lot of programs there.

A side note on Hofstra... what a facility! Coach Tierney gave us a quick tour and it was well worth it. I never saw the offices before, but they've really made some nice upgrades - including a stadium-seating classroom dedicated to game film! Watch out for Hofstra this year; they will be a well-prepared team (though I'll still be rooting against them on March 1. Go Brown Bears!).

Thanks to Coach Tierney, his staff and team for having us, and thanks to all the coaches for their interest in HOMEFIELD.

US Lacrosse Coaches Convention

By Joe

So we went down to the US Lacrosse Coaches Convention this past weekend. Left New York City late in the afternoon and got down to Philadelphia just in time to get caught outside in the rain, but the rest of the weekend was a huge success. This was our second convention (last December's IMLCA convention was the first) and we are extremely excited with the great strides we have made so far. We're thrilled with the positive feedback we have received from college and high school coaches alike. We feel, there is a serious need for a web service such as HOMEFIELD and it is even more apparent after talking with everyone in Philly.

While our purpose in Philly was to promote HOMEFIELD, it was great seeing all the people we know at companies like Brine, Warrior, Scorpion Lacrosse, Maverik, Inside Lacrosse, Cascade, Adidas and Atlantic Sportswear, as well as meeting new people from all over the country - Utah, Michigan, Atlanta - and the world - Ireland, Germany, Japan! It's exciting to see such growth in the game.

Though lacrosse was the focus, we also made contact with some coaches who are involved with two or three sports expressing major interest in HOMEFIELD for sports such as football, soccer and even wrestling. Remember, we created HOMEFIELD to work with any sport. So help spread the word to any coach who might be interested in our service.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the Overtime Media booth. We'll be in touch.
