MaxXcel Sports, LLC, a sports specific training products company, will introduce the FP360 Lacrosse Strength Trainer to the lacrosse community at the 2010 US Lacrosse National Convention, in Baltimore, MD, January 15-17, 2010, with a variety of events and promotions.
The MaxXcel FP360 is a strength training aid that secures directly to the shaft of a Lacrosse stick to develop core muscles in the hand, wrist and forearm. Using the principles of continuous resistance, the FP360 forces players to work harder to maintain a grip on the stick during drills and scrimmages, playing wall ball or taking shots at the cage.
The MaxXcel FP360 is a strength training aid that secures directly to the shaft of a Lacrosse stick to develop core muscles in the hand, wrist and forearm. Using the principles of continuous resistance, the FP360 forces players to work harder to maintain a grip on the stick during drills and scrimmages, playing wall ball or taking shots at the cage.
By isolating the muscles in the hand, wrist and forearm players can effectively increase strength and minimize the risk of injury, without changing their practice regimen.
The MaxXcel FP360 is lightweight, inexpensive, fits on any shaft, and will help lacrosse players at every level add more FIREPOWER to their game.
“The US Lacrosse National Convention provides us a great opportunity to meet coaches and players from across the country and demonstration our FP360 strength trainer,” said Bill Brandt, MaxXcel Sports Managing Partner. “Forearm, hand and grip strength development are the next critical wave in helping athletes gain a competitive advantage. We’re excited about launching our new product this week and to be associated with quality individuals and organizations like Max Seibald, the Denver Outlaws and US Lacrosse.”
At the upcoming 2010 US Lacrosse National Convention, MaxXcel endorser, Denver Outlaws & US Lacrosse Team midfielder Max Seibald will be signing autographs at the MaxXcel booth (#512), talking with players and coaches, and demonstrating how to use the FP360 for drills and at practice. There will also be product giveaways and contests, and the opportunity to purchase the FP360 Lacrosse Strength Trainer at a substantial discount.
“Having strong forearms and a solid grip adds so much to controlling the stick handle – better accuracy, more shot speed, stronger on face-offs and ground balls,” said Seibald. “Using the MaxXcel FP360 has definitely strengthened my grip, improved my shooting and passing, and helped me develop endurance in my muscles to last the whole game.”
Max Seibald was an accomplished player at the collegiate level, winning the 2009 Tewaarton Trophy, awarded to the “Most Outstanding” collegiate lacrosse player in the United States, and was named a four-time All-American at Cornell. He is the only men’s lacrosse player in the history of the Ivy League to be named a four-time, first-team All-Ivy selection. Seibald is currently playing in the MLL with the Denver Outlaws, where he was named to the “Young Guns” All-star team in 2009. He also set a new MLL record in the “Hardest Shot” competition, hitting 110mph.
Visit booth #512 at the 2010 US Lacrosse National Convention and let MaxXcel show you how to increase your FIREPOWER with the FP360!

After last year’s second place finish in the PNCLL and return to the MCLA National Championship tournament, the Ducks look to return to national prominence with a challenging 2010 schedule. New Head Coach Joe Kerwin certainly 
learned from the Ducks’ at-large selection to the MCLA tournament last season based on strength of schedule by including three of last year’s top five teams and seven of last year’s top 25 for the 2010 season.
The path is certainly set for the Ducks to determine their own fate throughout the season. Starting their season with early tests against Cal and Stanford at the Pac-10 Shootout in Seattle, Oregon will prepare for a six game stretch that could make or break their season. Beginning with a contest against two-time defending MCLA Champions Michigan as the feature game of the Patriot Cup in Dallas and including perennial national powers Chapman and Michigan State, an Arizona State team ready to return to MCLA play after last year’s suspension of the program, and PNCLL rivals Simon Fraser and Oregon State leading into the league playoffs, the Ducks hold the key to punching their return ticket to Denver in 2010.
