5 min read

Quick Answer

Download GameChanger lacrosse clips by installing the free ClipKeeper Chrome extension, logging into web.gc.com, navigating to your lacrosse team's game clips, and clicking the green download button on any highlight you want to save.

1Lacrosse Parents Use GameChanger Too

Lacrosse is one of the fastest-growing sports in America, and GameChanger has become a go-to platform for lacrosse leagues at every level. From youth club teams to high school varsity, coaches are using it to track stats, stream games, and capture highlights.

If you're a lacrosse parent, you know those GameChanger clips capture irreplaceable moments: your kid's first goal, a game-winning save, an incredible behind-the-back assist.

The problem? GameChanger doesn't let you download those clips. They're stuck on the platform, viewable only through streaming. Until now.

2Does GameChanger Work for Lacrosse?

Yes! GameChanger fully supports lacrosse with sport-specific features:

GameChanger Lacrosse Features:

  • Live game scoring with lacrosse-specific stats
  • Shot tracking (shots on goal, saves)
  • Ground ball tracking
  • Face-off statistics
  • Penalty tracking
  • Video highlight clips for key plays
  • Live streaming for parents who can't attend

When your kid scores a goal or makes a great play, GameChanger captures it as a video clip. These clips are available to stream through the app or website - but downloading them requires a little help.

3How to Download Lacrosse Clips

ClipKeeper works with lacrosse clips exactly the same way it works with baseball, softball, or any other sport on GameChanger. Here's how to save your lacrosse highlights:

Step 1: Install ClipKeeper

Go to the Chrome Web Store and add the ClipKeeper extension. It's free and takes about 30 seconds to install. Works on any computer with Chrome, Brave, or Edge browser.

Step 2: Find Your Lacrosse Team

Go to web.gc.com and log into your GameChanger account. Navigate to your lacrosse team and select a game that has video clips. Look for the Media or Clips section.

Step 3: Download Your Clips

You'll see a green download button added by ClipKeeper on each clip. Click it to download the video directly to your computer. That's it!

4Best Lacrosse Moments to Capture

Not every clip is equally important. Here are the lacrosse highlights worth saving and organizing:

Priority Clips for Attackers

  • Goals: Every goal, especially ones showing shooting technique
  • Assists: Passes that lead to goals show vision and stick skills
  • Dodges: Beating defenders one-on-one
  • Off-ball movement: Cutting and creating space

Priority Clips for Defenders & Goalies

  • Saves: Every save, especially on tough shots
  • Clears: Successful clears showing decision-making
  • Ground balls: Winning contested ground balls
  • Checks: Clean, legal checks that create turnovers
  • Slides: Proper defensive rotations

Priority Clips for Midfielders

  • Face-offs: Face-off wins (huge for recruiting)
  • Transition plays: Fast breaks and outlet passes
  • Two-way play: Clips showing both offensive and defensive ability
  • Conditioning: Playing full-field and hustling back

5Lacrosse Recruiting and Video

Lacrosse recruiting is intensely competitive, and video is essential. College coaches receive hundreds of emails from recruits - a strong highlight video helps you stand out.

What Lacrosse Coaches Want to See

  • Position-specific skills: Goalies show saves, attackers show goals and assists
  • Speed and athleticism: Fast breaks, chasing down ground balls
  • Stick skills: Clean catches, accurate passes, strong shots
  • Game IQ: Making smart decisions under pressure
  • Competitiveness: Effort plays, hustle, intensity

GameChanger clips are perfect for recruiting videos because they're from real games, not practice. Coaches want to see how you perform in competition.

6Building a Lacrosse Highlight Reel

Once you've downloaded your best clips, here's how to turn them into a recruiting-ready highlight video:

Lacrosse Highlight Reel Tips

  • Keep it short: 2-3 minutes maximum. Coaches are busy.
  • Lead with your best: Put your top 3-5 plays in the first 30 seconds.
  • Show variety: Goals, assists, ground balls, defensive plays.
  • Add player info: Jersey number, position, graduation year at the start.
  • Include game film: A few full possessions show game awareness.
  • Circle yourself: Use an arrow or circle so coaches can find you.

If your kid plays multiple sports, you might also want to create a combined video. See our guide on creating a multi-sport highlight reel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does ClipKeeper work for all lacrosse leagues?

ClipKeeper works with any lacrosse clips on GameChanger, regardless of league. Youth club, middle school, high school, travel teams - if it's on GameChanger, ClipKeeper can download it.

What if my team uses a different platform?

ClipKeeper is built specifically for GameChanger. If your team uses a different platform, ClipKeeper won't help with those clips. Many lacrosse teams use GameChanger, but some use other services.

When should I start building a recruiting video?

Start saving clips as early as freshman year of high school. You don't need to create the video yet, but having clips from multiple seasons gives you more to work with when it's time. D1 coaches often start evaluating sophomores and juniors.

How do I share clips on social media?

After downloading, you may need to convert the .ts file to MP4 for social media. See our guide to sharing GameChanger clips on Instagram and TikTok.
