How Adelphi MLAX Puts Everything In Players’ Hands

Adelphi men’s lacrosse head coach Brian Volpi shares how his staff is using Just Play to give players one seamless place to learn. From playbooks and scouting reports to opponent stats, film, drills, and freshman onboarding, Volpi breaks down why 24/7 access matters in a phone-dominant world — and how keeping everything in one location helps different types of learners prepare, study, and walk onto the field with more confidence.

Key takeaways:

• Seamless Accessibility: Since players are "cell phone dominant," having 24/7 access to playbooks, scouting reports, and film in one app keeps the team organized without needing to navigate between multiple platforms (0:10-0:38).

• Integrated Statistics & Scouting: Coaches can integrate opponent stats directly into scouting reports, ensuring players receive relevant data without being overloaded. This allows players to visually study opponents, including man-up play formations and player profiles, which builds confidence before stepping onto the field (1:20-2:08).

• Enhanced Learning & Onboarding: The platform caters to different learning styles by providing visual aids. It is particularly helpful for incoming freshmen, who can review drills and team tempo before even stepping on the field, preventing early struggles (0:52-1:19).

• Player Accountability: The staff can monitor "viewing time" within the app, providing insight into which players are actively completing their "homework" and studying the material (0:46-0:51).
