Late Summer Update.
I know it’s been a little while since the last weekly wrap-up, so consider this a late summer edition.
We just got back from Maryland and had an amazing trip. We met a ton of great people, and Kherington had the chance to meet her M&D team in person. We were also lucky enough to schedule some private lessons with a few local girls, and they were awesome.
While we were there, she attended the UMBC camp, which was another great experience. The coaches were fantastic, and Kherington learned so much. If you ever get the chance to spend a few days up there in the summer focusing on lacrosse, I highly recommend it.
Bluff City SIXES
After talking to some of the UMBC coaches, we found out that Skywalkers (a club team in the area) host a pick-up Sixes Lacrosse game for elementary girls every Wednesday. I loved the idea and thought it would be a great thing to bring back to Memphis, something fun that also helps build lacrosse IQ in a game-style format.
So, we’re launching Bluff City Sixes starting Wednesday, August 6th. It’ll run for five consecutive Wednesdays from 5:30 to 6:30 PM. I’m still finalizing the location, but the plan is to host it somewhere in the Germantown or Collierville area.
We’re hoping to get enough girls to play actual games of Sixes, but if we don’t, we’ll still be out there each week. If there aren’t enough girls for a full game, we’ll make the most of the time by running drills, doing footwork, working on passing, shooting and dodging. Either way, we’ll make it a valuable and fun experience for the girls who come out.
The cost will be $60 for all five sessions, or $20 to drop in. This simply covers the field rental and a pinnie that each player will receive. We will post a google form soon if you or anyone you know is interested.
The Future of Bluff City LAX
As some of you may have seen on Instagram, our family will be relocating to the Northeast in 2026. It’s a big change on the horizon, and while we’re incredibly excited for what’s ahead, it’s also bittersweet as we begin to wrap up our time here in Memphis.
But before we go, we have something really exciting in motion, a major project that’s currently in the final stages of approval with a local school. While we can’t share the full details just yet, it’s something that we believe will bring tremendous value to the lacrosse community. We’re hopeful, and once it’s official, we can’t wait to share the full vision with you all.
We're excited to continue bringing you coverage for this next season! Our official game coverage schedule will be released pre-season, we're just waiting on final team schedules to make sure we give everyone the spotlight they deserve. Once everything is confirmed, we'll let you know which games we plan to cover.
If the project we are anticipating becomes a reality we may not be able to personally attend as many games as we did last year but any updates anyone wants to sent our way is welcomed! That said, we’re still committed to supporting the teams and athletes as much as possible, and we’ll make sure coverage stays consistent even if we’re not always there in person.
Thanks again for your support. We’ve got a lot to look forward to this coming year, and we appreciate you all allowing us to be a part of it!
This community has be so gracious to us, and we’re so excited to give it our all in this final season. Bluff City LAX has always been about more than just lacrosse, it’s about community and helping shine the light on the great athletes in Memphis.
