Lax Haus, Lexington

Tim Rogers couldn't shake the sense of injustice he felt when he walked into a sporting-goods store. He witnessed too many parents loading up on expensive gear for their kids under the direction of a store employee who possessed about as much sports knowledge as a blind referee. So the chiropractor, sports physician, and personal-training expert took matters into his own hands and founded Lax Haus. Along with partner and former military official Corey Flannery, Tim and his team of coaches bring their in-depth lacrosse knowledge to a storefront of lacrosse gear and clothing, as well as a 5,000-square-foot training space. That's where they teach lacrosse players of all abilities at group classes or custom-tailored private lessons.
