The latest podcast (available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify or listen above) features an interview with Westminster Head Coach Joe Kerwin. Kerwin and I talked about how he became involved in lacrosse and what led to coaching at Westminster. We talk about the team, team culture, etc. Kerwin coached at Bend HS, Oregon and Notre Dame de Namur before taking the job as an assistant at Westminster where he served until former head coach Mason Goodhand retired this summer.

A New Women’s Pro League

Athletes Unlimited announced this week that a new professional women’s league will be formed and play will begin on July 19, 2021. From the site:

Athletes Unlimited Lacrosse will play a short form, fast paced format consisting of eight-minute quarters, 9v9 gameplay and a 60-second shot clock all housed on an 80yd x 50yd playing field. Athletes Unlimited Lacrosse will be comprised of 56 players that will roster four teams of 14 players each. Play will begin with draws at the beginning of each quarter as well as after every goal.

This will be interesting to follow as the professional women’s game continues to try and find a foothold.

Lacrosse Podcasts

I wanted to give some love to other lacrosse podcasts that I’ve enjoyed that are good listens if you’re looking for something lacrosse related.

Inside Lacrosse staff Terry Foy, Matt Kinnear and Halley Griggs discuss one of the biggest questions looming over the sport of lacrosse — will there be a 2021 college season? The trio compares notes based on their conversations with college coaches, the inferences based on how fall and winter college sports are moving forward and more. Listen here.

Phi-Lacrosse-ophy Podcast - This is a great podcast that is hosted by Jamie Munro. If you geek out on specifics and fundamentals, then this podcast is for you. Jamie does a great job and is a great host. He often has high level coaches as guests and is a big fan of the free play movement.

If you are new to the Utah Lax Report, here’s a list of the podcasts I’ve done so far:

I’d also encourage you to listen to my other podcast, the Utah Lacrosse Podcast. You can find it here on Spotify. The show features interviews with Utah Head Coach Brian Holman, assistant coaches Adam Ghitelman, Marcus Holman and Will Manny. I also talk to players like current LSM Sammy Cambere. Other guests include Director of Ops Tim McDermott, trainer Jon Burke and former strength trainer Parker Teagle. Other guests include Inside Lacrosse Publisher Terry Foy, Scott Ratliff and more.
