<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>True Lacrosse was founded in 2008 by Jake Deane and Mike Gabel, two men who played at the highest level of the game. They wanted to bring elite-level training to kids around the country, allowing them to compete in national-level play. Nowadays, True is one of the largest and most respected club lacrosse organizations in the United States. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>True does beyond the field. They not only focus on creating great athletes, but also great people. They instill core values like discipline, teamwork, and leadership into their players. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With year-round training/coaching, top-tier tournaments and showcases, the opportunities for inspiring athletes are endless. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>KJ, Matthew, Nicco, and Mike are just some examples of the standout players True 2027 has on their roster.

Salmieri possesses a high level of game IQ, giving him an edge over his opponents.

Throughout the entire time I saw him play, his head was always up and ready to assist. He buried a rebound, which wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for his keen eye. He is a shifty player, being on the small side, and has great control of his stick with both hands. I also saw a stutter step from behind that put Fitzgerald on my radar. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Mike McGuinness","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"147","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Walt Whitman","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"True Lacrosse ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-685d5f75b2577"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Power. Size. Grit. McGuinness is an animal on the field. He is a right-handed FO/Midfielder who excels at transitions. He has a powerful shot, a loud vocal presence, and could scoop up a ground ball like no one's business. What I really liked about McGuinness was the fact that he tried everything; he didn't seem nervous while playing. He took calculated risks, and if something didn't go as planned, he tried again or switched up his tactic. I liked his next-play mentality.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
