Lacrosse highlight video maker
ReelBallers turns lacrosse game film into shareable highlights: tag goals, assists, dodges, ground balls, and saves, then generate a recruiting-ready highlight for each, keeping your player in frame.
How to make a lacrosse highlight reel
- 1
Upload your lacrosse video(s)
Upload the footage you already filmed -- your phone, an export from Veo, Trace, or another team camera system, or any action camera. Full matches are fine; there is no need to trim first.
- 2
Mark the plays worth keeping
Watch the game and tag each moment by position and play type. Lacrosse presets cover 4 positions and 11 play types, so tagging is a click rather than typing.
- 3
Generate and share your highlight
A few drags to frame your player, then generate -- upscales toward 4K and produces a sharp highlight. Share it with one link, or generate a vertical version for social.
Lacrosse plays you can tag
Every clip is tagged by position and play type, so you can later pull "every goal" or "every defensive stop" without scrubbing footage. These are the lacrosse presets built in today.

Scoring by putting the ball in the net.

Why lacrosse footage is hard to edit
Lacrosse combines a big field with fast transition, so sideline footage is wide and the ball moves faster than a parent can pan. Framing in on the ball carrier recovers a tight shot from wide footage without anyone having to operate the camera well.
What lacrosse coaches look for
College lacrosse coaches recruit early and watch for ground-ball effort and off-ball movement as much as finishing. Ground balls are the clips most players under-include and coaches most want to see.
What people say
My mom is always asking me to “send the video” when she can't attend my daughter's games. Now I can send her a high res 3 minute highlight reel with a spotlight so she can actually see what's going on.
I loved that I could start wide and bring the camera in tighter at the end. Really tracked well. I'm telling you, this software is great.
Wow, does the app simulate the camera focusing on my son? This is cool!
Lacrosse highlight reels: common questions
How do I make a lacrosse highlight video?
Upload your lacrosse footage to ReelBallers, mark the plays worth keeping as you watch, then frame your player, then generate. ReelBallers smooths the motion and produces a shareable highlight. You do not need editing experience or a separate video editor.
What lacrosse plays can I tag?
Lacrosse has 11 built-in play types across 4 positions: Goal, Assist, Dodge, Ground Ball, Transition, Shot, Check, Clear, Caused Turnover, Save, Outlet. You can also rate clips and add notes.
What camera do I need to film lacrosse?
Whatever you already own. ReelBallers works with any standard video file -- match video exported from Veo, Trace, or Hudl, iPhone and Android video, GoPro and other action cameras, XbotGo mounts, or camcorders. There is no hardware to buy.
Can I make a lacrosse recruiting video with this?
Yes. Frame your player on your strongest play, then generate a wide version for college coaches plus a vertical version for social from the same highlight. Coaches recruit early and weight ground-ball effort and off-ball movement heavily -- the clips most players under-include and coaches most want to see.
How do I keep my player in frame in wide lacrosse footage?
You frame them: pick the player, drag the crop over them a few times through the clip, and ReelBallers connects the motion in between. The ball carrier changes constantly inside a moving pack on a big field. Re-framing the crop as they change keeps whoever has the ball in view, without a second camera operator chasing the play.
How much does it cost?
Free to start. You can upload a video and build a lacrosse highlight without paying up front.
What does the person I send the highlight to need?
Just a web browser -- no app install and no account. Coaches, recruiters, and family open a link and watch at full resolution.
