Support Student‑Athletes: Adjust Maine's HS Lacrosse Season

Leighton Wheeler

My granddaughters play sports on Maine

Harvey Peterson

I’m supporting women’s lacrosse in particular

Katherine Brunelle

This is critical change, needed to help support our lacrosse athletes who love and want to support their high school teams but also want to go on to play at the collegiate level. We are a significant outliner compared to the states surrounding us, and even more south throughout the country.

Lea Rust

I agree students would benefit greatly by starting earlier and not having past graduation.

Christie Rana

It goes too late!

Brooke Brunelle

I play club lacrosse and did play club field hockey and had to quit because of how much I was missing because of school seasons. For lacrosse I missed the first 2 weeks of the season and could’ve been more if we made it further in the playoffs. This could be time for me to be seen by college coaches and is putting players fork Maine at a disadvantage.

To allow lacrosse athletes a better experience at end of the semester and school year while remaining competitive in the lacrosse recruiting season.

Kevin Brunelle

The season is out of sync with other states and puts our athletes at a disadvantage playing in travel sports. Also seniors are mostly out of school during playoffs which creates a tough team dynamic

Jamie Clark

For student athletes pursuing collegiate play, the Maine post-season schedule currently puts Maine players at a severe disadvantage compared to players in surrounding states whose seasons end weeks earlier. Players participating in the MPA tournament miss key recruiting tournaments that their peers are able to attend. Please realign the spring schedule with surrounding states to better support student athletes.

Great idea!

Matthew Camp

My daughter plays club lacrosse all year long except for during high school school season. The season needs to start earlier so that it does not interfere with her summer club lacrosse. She is in her recruiting here for college and if she misses certain tournaments, she won’t be seen by college coaches. Please start the high school across season earlier.

Let’s go!

Morgan Camplin

hs students shouldn’t have to play post graduation

Michelle Raber

Our son plays travel and we often have to choose.

David Tamulevich

It’s important to align our season with other neighboring states. Maine is the last state in the country to finish our season.
