Lacrosse Players on Twitter You Should Follow

Considered to be the best social media platform available, and much to the chagrin of their coaches, print and TV media, a expanding number of Lacrosse players are present and hugely popular in the Twitter mainly to promote themselves, increase fan base and be able to connect to their fans in an easier manner. Such moves are more welcome given the fact that Lacrosse is one of those sports which has its niche followers and fan base restricted to Canada, US, UK and Australia. In giving a more insider’s version of the game, the players not only hook up interest for future players this way but also bring in a bonhomie encompassing all the game followers. Here we analyze few of the most popular players whom you can add to your twitter stream.

Sports Techie, Our community gratitude goes out to Claudia for providing this terrific blog that hits home. I personally love lacrosse and applaud the social media efforts these magnificent seven of lax are doing for the sport via twitter.

Lacrosse dates back to the Native American’s before white settlers reached our shores. Today, it is one of the fastest growing youth sports in the United States. I started playing with my high school mates back in the early 1980’s when Washington state had all of four and a half boy’s high school teams. I was the head lax coach at my alma mater last year and a U.S. Lacrosse member. It was an amazing year at Redmond while maintaining my Sports Techie social media habits so I understand how these guys juggle everyday life with their passion for representing and growing the beautiful sport of lacrosse. Last Sunday, I was the ref at the Open League that plays lax on a new turf field in Kirkland where high-tech meets low-tech at Big Finn. This state of the art field has a Daktronics scoreboard solution, video cameras installed around the field on the light posts, an HD big screen in the storage building used to analyze games and practice, and a simple wall for kids to play wall ball against.

An interesting twitter fact to share is that when Paul Rabil began on Twitter, he followed @SportsTechieNET for a few days and then stopped. I was honored by the follow and understand he felt the need to stop following. In a perfect world, that would not happen but we do not live in a perfect world. As it is, I absolutely respect how Paul has been a wonderful ambassador for the game and I follow him both as a fan and Sports Techie. Paul is a lifetime athlete who uses sports tech to optimize his game and training. Plus, he knows several of my good friends at Wimmer Solutions and was a former Washington Stealth player so se la vie.

I can tell you with joy that the Washington Stealth @StealthLax with 3,570 twitter friends, and captain Kyle Sorensen @ksorrie_11 with 603, are active on Twitter. They are getting ready to play the Rochester Knighthawks @RocKnighthawks with 5,596 twitter followers, in the NLL Playoff Championship game at the Langley Events Centre, in Vancouver, B.C. on Saturday, May 11th at 4:00pm PST.

To bring this full circle, the Stealth’s VP and GM is my long-time friend, Doug Locker. Doug was the admission director and lacrosse coach at Whittier College who recruited two of my friends and I as we walked down the halls at Redmond high school in 1984. The opportunity to go down to Southern California and play this new school sport while receiving a Liberal Arts education at a Quaker institution was as easy decision and the right thing to do. I had never been to SoCal before and knew nothing about Quakers but going to Whittier with my teammates was a positive life altering experience. So was finally getting my hard earned Political Science B.A. in 1995 as a proud Poet and happy Sachsen society member.

Hats off to the lacrosse equipment manufacturers who are also well represented on Twitter and other social media platforms like Facebook, Google and YouTube. Lacrosse sports technology has come a long way in my three decades involved with the sport and is only getting better. Sports Techie, follow and send a tweet to Paul, cheer on the Stealth, and be a part of the global sport of lacrosse on twitter. The Native American Chief’s of old would have liked that…
