Our Story

Hackees was started by three lifelong friends from New England with a shared passion for getting younger generations off of the couch, off of their screens and outside.

Growing up together, we spent almost every minute of our formative junior high years outside. It was the pre-Metaverse, Tik-Tok, YouTube, "screenager" era -- Heck, we didn’t even own cell phones as kids! If it wasn’t Wiffle Ball™, it was pond hockey, street hockey, mini basketball, two hand touch football or tackle. Those were the best days of our lives and that was when we made the best kinds of memories, ones we still share together. Because you never knew what was going to happen when you stepped onto to the field with your best buds.

As lacrosse was beginning to blossom in the Boston area, we fell in love with the sport. The only problem was...there was never a way to do it in style, e.g. in phys-ed class, after school in your hand-me-down jeans, or away from the watchful eyes and screaming mouths of coaches. There was also no way for kids interested in dipping their toe into lacrosse to try playing it for real before their parents invest the amount of money it takes to cover equipment and league fees. We hope that Hackees™ can change all that, and give kids a way to get outside and play a realistic game of lax just for fun.
