<!-- 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. Only time will tell what their futures hold, but I'd be willing to bet it's bright. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- 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":"KJ Hill","_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":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"155","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"143","_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":"2027 Gold 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-685d5f75b2361"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>KJ Hill is a right-handed, True NY All-Region. He takes advantage of his space, with perfectly timed re-dodges and hitch steps. His ability to push a fast break was something that stood out to me.

Salmieri possesses a high level of game IQ, giving him an edge over his opponents. He has a lethal crease roll, which, when combined with his quick shot release, is next to impossible to defend. </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":"Nicco Fitzgerald","_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":"5'6u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"120","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"142","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Connetquot ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"True Long Island","_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-685d5f75b24ec"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fitzgerald is a left-handed attacker ready to work. 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 -->
