The problem
College lacrosse recruiting is confusing — and most tools don't help.
Most families start with a list of dream schools, spend months researching each one, and still end up guessing whether their athlete is a realistic fit. Existing tools are either built for elite D1 recruits or bury you in raw data without telling you what it means.
"Where does he even fit?"
Most parents have no idea whether their athlete is a D2 or D3 candidate — let alone which specific programs to target.
"I have a spreadsheet, but..."
Tracking 50 schools in a spreadsheet doesn't tell you which ones are actually realistic, affordable, or a good fit.
"We're missing schools we'd love"
Without a system, families overlook hundreds of programs that would be perfect — because they've never heard of them.

The solution
Moneyball for college lacrosse.
MyLaxList scores every lacrosse program across 5 dimensions and gives you a ranked list based on your athlete's actual profile — academics, athleticism, budget, and what matters most to your family.
Athletic Fit
Based on your club team ranking, coach and evaluator assessments. Shows your realistic band across D1, D2, D3, NAIA, and MCLA — because the divisions overlap more than you think.
Roster Fit
Which programs actually need your position when your class arrives? See roster graduation gaps and which specific players leave before you'd join.
Academic Fit
GPA match, major availability, and acceptance rates. See where your academics are a reach, a match, or a safe bet.
Value Fit
Real net price for your income bracket — not sticker price. Includes merit aid potential and a true cost-to-outcome comparison.
Lifestyle Fit
Location, campus size, climate, distance from home, housing, and religious affiliation. Because fit isn't just about lacrosse.
The insight most tools miss
Division labels are misleading.
Your athlete fits a range — not a box.
Most families think in labels: “he's a D2 kid.” But on our 0–100 scale, division bands literally overlap. The bottom of D2 recruits at the same score range as the top of D3. MCLA D1 sits inside the D3 band entirely. And a score of 60 lands inside D1, D2, and D3 at the same time.
The only way to see your athlete's true realistic range is to score every program — all 570+ of them — on the same scale. That's what we do.
A mid-D3 candidate
Score 43 falls inside the D3 band (22–63), the D2 band (41–64), and the MCLA D1 band (16–45) simultaneously. Coaches from three different divisions are recruiting at this exact level.
A D3-top / D2-top / D1-low athlete
Score 60 sits inside all three main NCAA division bands at once — D1 (50–100), D2 (41–64), and D3 (22–63). Families who say "D2 only" cut their realistic options in thirds.
A D1-mid candidate
D1 alone spans 77 programs from score 50 to 100 — a 50-point competitive range. Without fit scoring, families chase the same brand names and miss dozens of D1 programs where cost, roster, and academic fit are dramatically better.

FAQ
Common questions
Is this a recruiting platform?
No — and that's intentional. MyLaxList is a fit-discovery tool. We help you figure out where your athlete should be looking, not how to get noticed by coaches. Think of it as the step before recruiting starts.
How is athletic fit calculated?
We use a combination of your club team's national ranking, coach assessments, and evaluator ratings to build a competitive score. That score gets compared against every program's competitiveness level — and we show you the realistic range, not just a single division label.
Is MyLaxList really free?
Yes — free to build a profile and see your top matches. We're in early access and want real families using it before we charge anything. No credit card required.
What divisions do you cover?
All of them: NCAA D1, D2, and D3, NAIA, and MCLA. We score every program on the same scale because the divisions overlap more than most people realize.
How is this different from searching on Google or ESPN?
Instead of spending weeks researching 50 schools manually, you get every program ranked and scored in minutes based on your specific profile. And we show you the reasoning — not just a number.
Does this guarantee my athlete gets into these schools or makes the team?
No — and we'll never pretend it does. MyLaxList helps you focus your energy on programs where the fit is realistic. Recruiting outcomes depend on many factors we can't control. We give you clarity, not promises.
Will you add women's lacrosse?
Yes — it's next. The platform is built sport-agnostically so we can expand quickly once men's lacrosse is fully validated.
