“Mass Elite is for committed, motivated, and remarkable players who play for THE LOVE OF THE GAME! Mass Elite extends an opportunity for all players who love lacrosse to play year round in very competitive environments, whether it be at a practice or a tournament. Mass Elite was founded to enable the players in the state to improve their game, learn, and to prepare themselves to play at the next level. 

My biggest motivation is now seeing the girls and boys who started Mass Elite in 1999 play at the college level and be competitive and successful.  I am excited to have extended an opportunity to Mass players to develop and grow to be top players in the country.

Mass Elite has remarkably talented players with astounding attitudes and a staff of coaches that are the finest in the state!  Mass Elite is a pleasure to be involved with and I am excited for the future of Mass Elite and its evolution!”

“ Mass Elite is truly a dream team! It is an absolute pleasure to coach such a hard working, dedicated and talented group of exceptional athletes!

The best thing about coaching such skilled lacrosse players is that we learn from each other. We all try new things and the end result is that we all improve our game!

Mass Elite is for skilled players that can't get enough LAX! It is the love of the game that motivates them! ”

Rocky Batty - Mass Elite Boys Varsity Division Co-Director/Coach

•	Varsity Coach - Boston College High School, 2007
•	Varsity Coach - Brookline High School, 1992-2006

Rocky grew up at Northfield Mount Hermon School, where he stood out as an All-Prep defenseman, honing his skills for a Division One collegiate career under Dom Starsia at Brown University. He began coaching lacrosse in 1991 at Brown, where he served as the Head JV Coach for the Bears. Rocky has since coached at numerous camps, assisted with many all-star teams, and came on board last year as a strong addition to our Mass Elite staff. You can almost always find him at Baggataway, the lacrosse store in Brookline that he has co-owned with other coaches since 2003.

“ I had never seen a lacrosse game before I was in high school, and I thank my lucky stars every day that I learned the game from greats like Dom Starsia, Pete Lasagna and Al Brown. They taught me not only about X's and O's, but also about the passion and respect for the game of lacrosse that sets it apart. The really phonomenal thing about Mass Elite is that it's made up of players and coaches who inspire that same spirit. Working with some of the region's best is just awesome. I consider myself lucky all over again to be a part of this program, and this game ”
