Tim Goetelmann Selected as 2010 Lacrosse Magazine Person of the Year
10 Dec
LAXFU Note: Tim could not be more deserving of this award! We’re honored to have Tim on board with LAXFU.com when we were just starting out. Congrats to Tim, and all the great things he’s done for the sport of lacrosse and his community.
BALTIMORE – US Lacrosse, the national governing body of men’s and women’s lacrosse, today named Long Island Lizards’ attackman Tim Goettelmann the 2010 Lacrosse Magazine Person of the Year.
A three-time all-star and one of the few 10-year veterans of Major League Lacrosse since that professional league’s inaugural 2001 season, Goettelmann broke two MLL records this year and led the Lizards to the league championship game. But it is work off the field that personifies the values of lacrosse that many who participate in the game hold so dear.
Affectionately known as “The Monster” for his 6-foot-4, 230-pound frame, Goettelmann frequently donates his time and resources to helping young patients at the Steven and Alexandra Cohen Children’s Medical Center in New Hyde Park, N.Y. Goettelmann donated his entire 2010 MLL salary to Monster’s Kids, a charitable foundation he created two years ago to benefit sick children. Through grass-roots events and other donations Goettelmann has secured, including many from MLL teammates and rivals, Monster’s Kids has generated about $115,000 for Cohen Children’s Medical Center patients, which include premature births, children with cancer and blood disorders, those with psychiatric needs, and more.
“Having two healthy kids really made me realize how lucky I was,” Goettelmann said. “That really was the driving force. I do look at my wife a lot and we’re very lucky, very blessed. I have a great job and I’m still playing lacrosse. There’s been so many opportunities where I could have been bounced from the lineup and the team, and different people over the years have allowed me to still play after 10 years, which is pretty amazing. It really was just the fact of thinking that I was going to retire, and I wanted to give back.”
“We chronicle great players all the time, but to profile a great person like Tim is an honor,” said Paul Krome, editor of Lacrosse Magazine. “He’s among the best representatives of the lacrosse community. Anyone associated with the game can be proud of his efforts and hopefully strive to mirror them for a similarly noble cause.”

NY Times: “Can Paul Rabil Make Lacrosse Sexy?”
30 Oct
In case you missed this one, the New York Times ran an article on Paul Rabil and his impact on lacrosse.
“Lacrosse has an image problem, deservedly or not, and it is against this fraught backdrop that Mr. Rabil has emerged onto the scene.”
“Thousands of articles have been written about the lacrosse scandals of the last few years, but you only have to skim a handful to learn the stereotypes. Players party too much. They’re prone to violence. They’re entitled rich kids smashing mailboxes with their lacrosse sticks before blazing off in daddy’s Ferrari.”

Paul Rabil also launched his new website this week.

Tyler Hill Camp is Hiring Summer Lacrosse Instructors
28 OctIf you’re in the NY or PA area and looking for a summer gig, here’s a great opportunity.
“The sport that is taking the country by storm…”
This is the statement that describes lacrosse in a nutshell. This emerging sport has been huge on the East Coast for many years, and now it is truly going viral across the country. Kids are starting to play at a younger age than ever before and there is a lot of proof to back up that statement. In Baltimore, Maryland, where the final four is held in 2010, kids, young adults, and their families from across the country flocked to M&T Stadium to watch the College Lacrosse Final Four this past May.
The reason I am writing this to all of you is because we have summer job openings at 2 of our beautiful summer camps located in PA and NY. We are looking for lacrosse professionals who have the expertise to teach the skills of lacrosse to both boys and girls ages 7-16.
The demand for lacrosse is greater than ever and we need someone who can use their skill set to not only teach the fundamentals of the game, but someone who believes as we do, that the right coach can provide so much more than athletic skills. Growing up and playing lacrosse in Baltimore provided for me some of my best friends as well as a platform for me to build self confidence and resilience. We’re looking for coaches who feel they can deliver those same values.
