Lax101.com

The Lax101.com site is a powerful and extensible site built off a customized version of the Joomla platform (1.5.18). The site is a first in a series of sites produced by the SportsFoundation, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to leveraging technology to helping kids in sports. This site allows a player to create a profile that describes their lacrosse career. Featuring picture uploads, video uploads, and lacrosse statistics, players can look for schools and coaches (D1, D2, D3, Collegiate Club, and Youth Club), express interest, and engage in secure communication through a built-in messaging system. Players can also share their profiles on facebook and Twitter. Finally, the site features a number of social networking features enabling players to “friend” other players and trade status updates/wall postings with their friends. The entire site is driven off “credits” that enable a player to engage with a coach. Credits are purchased through an integrated e-commerce engine. The site also provides a number of school/program/team management features for coaches enabling them to more effectively identify potential recruits and engage with them in a secure manner.
