Triple Crown Sports, which is launching its inaugural Project X lacrosse event this summer, announced today it has established a partnership with Deep South Lax Report, which chronicles the prep and college lacrosse scene in the southeastern United States with its experienced group of writers and photographers.
 
Project X is set for Aug. 6-8, 2021 in Salt Lake City UT, and is anchored by its Bridge Program, where high school graduates signed to play at the next level will compete in games and also be immersed in college coach-driven camps, clinics and workshops designed to prepare them for the college game (NCAA and MCLA). Project X also features a DNA Program for younger athletes (K-8th grade), who will sharpen their skills while working with top-flight NCAA D-I coaches. 
  
“The staff at Deep South Lax Report are all very excited to partner with Triple Crown Sports on Project X and The Bridge Program,” said Larry Palumbo, lead administrator with the Deep South organization. “Giving graduates a place to compete against other commits from around the country just before heading into freshman fall ball is a unique opportunity in lacrosse that we are proud to associate our brand with. Those 2021 grads will certainly appreciate this opportunity to sharpen their skills against top competition this summer, especially considering how many games and practices have been missed in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID pandemic.”
 
Athletes will take part in a training session taught by a former Navy Seal, Jason Kuhn, and enjoy an afternoon of activities in Salt Lake City ranging from mountain biking, hiking, zip-lining, rafting and more.
 
“No one can capture the heartbeat of lacrosse in their region quite like the Deep South Lax Report, which keeps fans of the sport in touch with important news at the high school and college level,” said Tom West, director of lacrosse at Triple Crown Sports. “We are excited to have their expertise provide that extra momentum to Project X as we gear up for year one of the event.”
