Lacrosse is a special sport. The barrier of entry to the game is at an all-time low and accessibility to the top players is at an all-time high. Superstars are just a few taps on a smartphone away, thanks mostly to social media! Don’t get me started on what it’s actually like to get a “favorite” or “retweet” from our idols. Just by engaging directly with the audience on a one-to-one level, these NLL social media heroes are creating lifelong fans.
Want to find out how small the lacrosse world really is? Start by following your favorite NLL athletes on Twitter and Instagram. We put in the effort to find each and every player’s Twitter and Instagram handles (if they have one), so you can stay dialed in to what happens on and off of the floor!
Before you dig through the database, find out who’s running the NLL social media game!
