SCOTTSDALE, AZ - April 8, 2004 - Lax Scout (www.laxscout.com), an organization dedicated to helping high school student-athletes gain widespread exposure to college lacrosse coaches, has opened registration for the 2004 High School Lacrosse Recruiting Report. The company announced significant expansion of its scouting services to include Arizona, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington D.C.

To lead this expansion, Lax Scout has assembled an impressive team of well-seasoned veterans with decades of lacrosse experience as players and coaches at the highest levels in the world. "I am extremely pleased with Lax Scout's positive growth," commented Lax Scout President and Founder Christopher Deutsch. "Much of our expansion is attributable to the caliber of our staff and the tremendous groundswell of support from students, parents, coaches and the international lacrosse community."

Lax Scout offers both scouted and non-scouted options for high school freshmen, sophomore and junior boys. Students who live in the seven states where Lax Scout has scouting teams may sign up for one of three scouted profiles: the Titanium, Silver or Bronze profiles. A member of Lax Scout's professional staff will provide a personal, in-depth analysis of the player which will appear in the 2004 recruiting publication. Additionally, students in the U.S. and Canada can take advantage of Lax Scout's non-scouted options, such as the Diamond profile, which is new in 2004. Students can learn more about Lax Scout's services and register online at their web site.

"I'm happy to be on board with Lax Scout because at its core the goal is to grow the sport and help the athlete, regardless of where he's from or what level he wants to play at in college," added Josh White, a member of Princeton's 2001 National Championship team and Lax Scout's Vice President of Scouting and Operations. "Lax Scout has the potential to catalyze the international growth of lacrosse by unearthing hidden talent to progressive college recruiters."
