Prime Time Lacrosse

What Prime Time Lacrosse does

Prime Time Lacrosse is a privately held youth lacrosse club organization founded in 2008 by Nick Daniello and headquartered in Cross River, New York. The company operates elite travel lacrosse teams organized by graduation year for boys (grades 3 through 11, branded Prime Time 2025 through 2034) and, since 2016, a parallel girls program (Prime Time 2026 through 2035). Programming spans year-round fall, winter, spring, and summer seasons, with structured practices 2-3 times per week during summer, national-level tournament competition, and hands-on college recruiting guidance. The organization claims 250+ collegiate player placements since founding, with 8 consecutive years of double-digit Division I recruiting classes and a 90%+ placement rate at top collegiate programs.

The business generates revenue through multiple streams: tryout fees ($50-$95 per player depending on age), travel team seasonal memberships, camps and clinics (including the Lil Stix introductory program for ages 4-7 at $300 per player), and tournament hosting (Prime Time High School Summer Invitational at Yale University, $3,750-$4,000 per team). Distribution is primarily regional, concentrated in the Tri-state area (Connecticut, New York, New Jersey) with 10 training locations across CT and NY, though tournament participation and recruiting reach extend nationally. Registration and program management run through the LeagueApps platform.

The organization's competitive positioning rests on a coaching staff featuring professional lacrosse players (Greg Gurenlian, Chris Madalon, Chris Daniello), affiliate membership in the National Lacrosse Federation, founding membership in North American Lacrosse, and Inside Lacrosse on-site player evaluations. With approximately 20 employees, Prime Time operates as a tightly run regional club that has achieved top-5 national rankings in multiple graduation-year cohorts and a #1 national ranking for its PT 2025 boys team in summer 2024.
