Team Elevate Acquires New England United Girls Lacrosse Program
HUNTINGTON, NEW YORK (September 1, 2014) - Team Elevate, one of the nation’s
premier girls only travel lacrosse programs, has acquired New England United (NEU), a
girls travel lacrosse program based out of Providence, Rhode Island. Team Elevate will
offer it’s complete suite of services including recruiting, college preparation, lacrosse
training, camps, clinics and other service to all of the NEU families. The staff of NEU
will all remain as part of the new program and all operations will be run out of the Team
Elevate offices in New York.
“We are committed to delivering the best value to our families and our players and this
is an exciting opportunity for us to expand into the New England market with proven
leaders and coaches,” said Dave Kotowski, the co-founder of Team Elevate. “It is our
belief that lacrosse is currently being overplayed and undercoached. Our goal is to
deliver some of the best coaches to our families and let those coaches coach while we
handle all of the administrative duties of running a successful club program.”
NEU was founded by Keely McDonald and Jill DePetris who are both current Division 1
Head Women’s Lacrosse Coaches. (Click here for Bio on Keely McDonald and click
here for Bio on Jill DePetris). The current staff of NEU includes current college
coaches, high school coaches and former standout players. “We understand the role
that club lacrosse can play in the development of girls as student athletes and leaders in
their community,” says Kotowski. “Team Elevate has the same goals and objectives as
NEU and we felt that we are a perfect match to deliver a world class club to all of our
families.”
Team Elevate plays a crucial role in student athlete development and exposure to top
college programs for its families. Team Elevate has hosted SAT Tutor Classes, a New
England College Bus Tour (Yale, UCONN, Boston College, Harvard, Boston University,
Bryant, Brown, Connecticut College and Fairfield), one-on-one family recruiting
sessions, and provides all of it’s players with a written evaluation at the end of each
season. Players are also provided access to individual and group training (Goalie
Clinics, Draw Clinics, Shooting Clinics and Speed and Strength Training), teaching
camps and they have also partnered with other college coaches to run “next level”
camps.
The next available tryout date for the new Team Elevate program in New England is
