Our co-founders Colby and Lynda with Will Clarkson from Platform Sports | College Recruitment after a very informative session about US College Pathways for Australian lacrosse players.

The MLA was founded in 2024 to help junior lacrosse players reach their goals. Combining strength and conditioning with Coach Trent from Inner Athlete (AUS) with lacrosse skills development from our head US coach Chad Ronk Chad Ronk and other American coaches who have played college lacrosse gives our athletes the opportunity to develop their strength and agility and fine tune their lacrosse skills. We are even more excited about the programs we offer after Will’s presentation as it is clear that we are helping Australian lacrosse players work towards US College.

Follow us for more information on upcoming MLA programs!

Thanks to everyone for joining us at our first US College Lacrosse Pathways information night last night. Will from Platform Sports | College Recruitment gave a very engaging and informative presentation about college recruitment in the States!

It is clear from Will’s presentation that MLA’s unique program combining strength and conditioning with lacrosse skills training is giving our MLA athletes a head start that will translate directly to the US College Lacrosse system!

Thanks Will for joining us!

Our MLA Elite Development Boys had an absolute blast last night playing the PLL Play Australia Experience team in a fast-paced and exciting Sixes game. The game marked a significant milestone for our MLA boys, because although they train together to improve their fitness and lacrosse skills, this is the first opportunity they have had to play together as a team. The evening was so much fun with a fantastic game followed by the chance to hang out with the PLL boys.

A huge thanks to Lynden Blackley and Tayne Evans for all their hard work in setting up the field, scoring and making us feel so welcome at Footscray Lacrosse Club. Thanks to Footscray Lacrosse Club for hosting this event. Thanks to Devon Townsend Devin Townsend and PLL Play for giving us the opportunity to play this amazing group of young American men.

A huge shout out to the coaches, Coach Chad, Coach Josh and Coach Trent from MLA and Coach Tom and Coach Ben from PLL Play, the referees Chris Gordon and Joe Sorack and of course all the wonderful parents for supporting our lacrosse boys. Special mention to Fran for making the Aussie inspired gift bags.

Finally, thanks to Lynda, Sasha, Colby and Jonas Saucier for sharing these photos.

This will definitely be an evening to remember. Such a fantastic opportunity to grow the game and form friendships across the world. 🇦🇺🇺🇸
