What is the Beta Team?
The Beta Team is simply Haute Stick Lacrosse's Advanced Product Test Team.
If we pick you, your job is to tell us how to make our stuff even better.
What it should look like, how should it feel?
How much is should it weigh?
color, shape, size, texture, weight,
even how should it smell...
You tell us what you think,
and well make it even better.
Who is elgible?
All candidates must be lacrosse enthisiasts.
That's it.
Some of the best ideas come from the players trying the hardest,
not the cocky jerks that think there better than snot.
Additionally, the NCAA requires all players recieving any form of gift, which includes money as well as discounts on products, to not have that gift or discount based on their level of skill. That means that if we only pick Beta team testers based on skill, the NCAA would question your elgibility as an amature athlete and may restrict your ability to play lacrosse in the NCAA. And since our job is to help you play NCAA Ball then we need to be extra careful about messing with elgibility. For further info on NCAA elgibility rules see the NCAA Site.
Statement regarding NCAA applicability
Haute Stick will never compremise or in any other way impinge on the amateur status of any athlete. We simply will never do anything to make a player ineligible to play. If you have any question whatsoever about anything that might alter your elgibility status, please contact the NCAA or the Lacrosse Foundation for further information.
