The inspiration for the program came from Devin Maxwell's personal experiences. "I was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA where the game is still foreign to most of the population,"Maxwell states. "I was fortunate enough to go east to play college (Herkimer '09, SUNY Morrisville '11) ball and learned so much about the game, culture, and lifestyle of lacrosse that most young laxers on the west coast will never learn or experience."
Maxwell's game has evolved and is still evolving as he continues to meet and interact with laxers from all over the world. "The brotherhood that all lacrosse players share is what makes our game so unique, because it brings athletes of all different backgrounds and regions together to share a common love and passion for the game,"Maxwell explains. These are a few major points of emphasis he plans on teaching in Cali's Finest lacrosse program, as well as teaching fundamentals and developing a stronger competition level for lacrosse on the westcoast.
The artist, Joseph Cabello, and Devin are working on different designs that lacrosse players all over can wear on and off the field. All proceeds from apparel sales go into a Cali's Finest Lacrosse fund.
The dates of the camp have not yet been determined, but Maxwell is shooting for summer of 2010. "This project has been a surprising success so far, thanks to the help of Everyone of my fellow laxers from all over the world, and will only become more of a success with the help and support of more lacrosse players."

He must be truly, SICKNASTY.
well zack stanek it sounds to me like you have a grudge on the west coast. but have you ever really been there? and just because you’ve met a couple west coast kids doesnt mean thats what everyone is like thats generalizing and the sterotypical east coast bias that most players out there have against the west coast player. and grow some balls and fight someone? come on dude really? thats not what lax is about lax is about havein fun with your friends and just keepin the game alive. your definiton of a laxer is your defininton, the game means something different to every lax player. and plus it takes a big man to type a bunch of stuff hatin but if it really came down to it would you say it in real life? the internet hater is what really kills the lacrose community because of the ignorance of some can ruin it for us others.
Zach are you serious what kinda drugs are you on? “a laxer is a free spirit, a person who doesnt care about the world enough to be completely absorbed about it. be a laxer for yourself and yourself only.” dude what is that ? a laxer is someone who plays lacrosse. your a joke Zach, dont be mad cuz you got kicked off herkimer lax for not showing up to a team fund raiser… it sounds to me like your just hating on cali’s finest
sounds like hater……
west coast needs to stop trying look like a lax player and start being one. shirts, graphic designs, and this entire bull shit website is a great example of every west coast lax player i have ever met and that is they are a bunch of wanna be lacrosse players and when they come over to the east coast they cant hang because they are all caught up in their image looking cool but then they go back to the west coast a year later in defeat by the east coast. lax will be nothing unless they drop the attitude, grow some balls, fight someone, and be yourself. But when two west coast “lax stars” try running herkimer lacrosse and make all the upcoming kids all soft, they ruinned herkimer lacrosse this season and disgraced the generations before it which were true laxers and now i am honored to say that i got out of that mess really early and now i’m laughing cause the two west coast stars get arrested and get the boot off the lax team a week before the end of the semester. please who ever reads this: a laxer is a free spirit, a person who doesnt care about the world enough to be completely absorbed about it. be a laxer for yourself and yourself only.
