Where can your lacrosse athlete actually play?
A named, specific list of college lacrosse programs that fit — scored against your points, ground balls, and caused turnovers and what it really took to make each roster. Every division, D1 through D3. Not a brochure. A map.
Lacrosse programs we've mapped
Each one scored against the athletes it actually recruits.
Scored against real rosters
Not a brochure. We place you against what it actually took to make each program's roster, division by division.
Reach, match, and safety by fit
Ranked by where you can realistically play and contribute — playing time and roster need, not prestige.
Real net cost by family income
What each school costs after aid at your income band, so the list is a plan you can afford, not a wish.
Coach outreach that's ready to send
A personalized first email to each program's coach, built from your own numbers.
Built for lacrosse, position by position
We map every position, and score the ones that have a recruited-caliber stat on their own number:

The lacrosse numbers that get you recruited
Where recruited lacrosse players land on points (goals + assists), by level, from current college rosters. A directional bar to place yourself against, not a cutoff. Your real fit depends on position, competition, and more.

Where lacrosse athletes at each level land
Not a projection — the real outcomes of comparable recruits. At each level of points (goals + assists), here's the division mix athletes with those numbers actually reached, and a few of the programs that took them.
Men's
e.g. Illinois Wesleyan University, Clarkson University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
e.g. Skidmore College, Swarthmore College, University of Mary Washington
e.g. Benedictine University, Illinois Institute of Technology, Hood College
e.g. University of Alabama in Huntsville, University of Montevallo, Adams State University
Women's
e.g. Furman University, High Point University, College of the Holy Cross
e.g. Lynn University, Anderson University, Southern Connecticut State University
e.g. University of Colorado Colorado Springs, Belmont Abbey College, Gannon University
e.g. Occidental College, Colorado College, Wesleyan University
Based on the recruited athletes we have verified high-school stats for. Coverage is deeper at higher divisions, so the mix leans toward them — read it as the shape of the funnel, not exact odds.

Lacrosse recruiting, answered
What does it take to get recruited for lacrosse in college?
It varies by division. FiftyStar scores you against your points, ground balls, and caused turnovers of the athletes each program actually recruits, across 393 lacrosse programs from D1 through D3, so you see where your numbers really fit instead of guessing. Building the map is free.
How do I reach out to college lacrosse coaches?
A short, specific email with your numbers and your film gets a reply where a mass blast gets ignored. FiftyStar drafts a personalized first email to each program's coach, built from your own lacrosse numbers, ready to send.
What is the difference between D1, D2, and D3 lacrosse recruiting?
They are different levels of play and roster need, and the right fit is about playing time, not prestige. We map all of them (63 D1, 94 D2, 213 D3) and rank where you can realistically play and contribute.
Is FiftyStar free for lacrosse recruits?
Yes. Building your Target Map, the named and scored list of lacrosse programs that fit, is free. Season Pass adds the maintained training plan, tracking, and the full recruiting calendar.
