The Las Vegas Desert Dogs are supercharging their performance department ahead of the 2024-25 National Lacrosse League (NLL) season.

The franchise will use Australian sports-technology platform Lumin Sports to advance its athletic performance, strength and conditioning, medical monitoring, and team operations.

The Desert Dogs’ Head Athletic Trainer, Kori Jefferies, said Lumin will improve how coaches train, monitor and ultimately improve the playing group.

‘’From a performance perspective, Lumin gives us the tools we need to build stronger, more robust athletes,’’ Jefferies said.

‘’Whether it be in the gym, on game-day, or supporting a player through injury, we as support staff now have convenient access to the data we need to make the right decisions.’’

‘’The fact that we can have S&C, performance, and injury management tools within the one app will also save us a stack of time and make it easy for athletes.’’

Las Vegas Assistant General Manager, Cody Moll, said a key reason for choosing the Lumin platform is the ability to use it across multiple departments.

‘’Every department has a roll to play in the franchise’s success,’’ Moll said.

‘’Lumin’s versatility means our team-ops staff can use it for communication and scheduling, and our performance team have what they need.’’

‘’The best part is our players don’t need to visit multiple apps anymore, it’s all in Lumin.’’

The Las Vegas Desert Dogs becomes the third NLL franchise to use Lumin Sports within their program.

The Australian software platform is also embedded at the Philadelphia Wings and the San Diego Seals.

Lumin Sports CEO, Ben Tripodi, said he’s excited to see another NLL team reap the rewards of using Lumin.

‘’Performance staff know how to manage their athletes best,’’ Tripodi said.

‘’Our job is to help them do it faster and with fewer headaches.’’

‘’We’re looking forward to working alongside the Desert Dogs and playing a role in a winning season.’’
