The North Jersey Lacrosse Player of the Week: How Voting Works & How to Win

A weekly reset, not a season-long award

Every spring, North Jersey opens a fresh vote for its Lacrosse Player of the Week, asking readers to pick a favorite from that week's list rather than settling one name for the whole season. North Jersey is the organizer, and the ballot itself runs on poll.fm, the Crowdsignal-built polling platform. Four spring seasons are confirmed on this page: 2022, 2023, 2025 and 2026, each falling roughly in the April to June stretch that tracks the high school lacrosse calendar in New Jersey.

North Jersey's own page treats the ballot as a straight public vote: any reader can open the current week's poll and pick a favorite, with no separate nomination round described anywhere on it.

Four confirmed seasons, one fixed weekly close

North Jersey has run this weekly lacrosse vote across four confirmed spring seasons: 2022, 2023, 2025 and 2026. The seasons on this page run roughly April through June, tracking the New Jersey high school lacrosse calendar, though North Jersey has not printed exact opening or closing days for any single season's first and last ballots.

One detail North Jersey has put in writing: each week's ballot closes at 5 p.m. on Thursday. That single fixed point is the clearest scheduling fact this weekly series carries, and it holds across the confirmed ballots rather than shifting week to week.

Past that closing time, North Jersey's page leaves real gaps. No roster of categories accompanies the single Player of the Week question, and nothing on the page sets a per-supporter voting limit or says who actually qualifies to cast a lacrosse pick. North Jersey has not said when the next weekly ballot opens after the current one closes; confirm on the live ballot each cycle.

How a supporter votes on this week's ballot

Casting a vote is a short action repeated every week of the season. A supporter opens the current ballot at poll.fm/17095657, reads the week's Player of the Week question, and selects the option next to the name they want to back. One click marks a choice, and a second press submits it.

North Jersey's weekly ballot asks for no account or sign-in first; the page takes a selection and a submit click, and nothing more. After a vote lands, the poll typically shows the current standing for the week, letting a supporter see how the pick they backed compares to the rest of that week's field.

Because each week's ballot closes at 5 p.m. on Thursday, the practical window for casting a vote is short: whatever opens after the prior week's close stays live only until that Thursday deadline, then North Jersey moves to the next name and the next ballot in the series.

Where this weekly lacrosse vote sits among North Jersey's other ballots

North Jersey runs several public votes across New Jersey high school sport, and the lacrosse Player of the Week differs from most of its siblings in rhythm rather than subject. Asbury Park Press High School Athlete of the Week follows the same weekly reset but covers the Jersey Shore rather than the North Jersey lacrosse calendar, and Courier-Post South Jersey Girls Basketball Player of the Week runs the same weekly format for a winter sport in the southern part of the state.

Two siblings depart from the weekly shape entirely. The Jersey Sports Zone Football Game Ball is its own football-specific vote, while New Jersey High School Boys Basketball Player of the Week and New Jersey High School Football Player of the Week both run statewide rather than confined to the North Jersey region this lacrosse vote covers.

NJ MileSplit Boys Performer of the Week is the closest sibling in season, another spring ballot, though it tracks track and field performances rather than a lacrosse roster. Against that set, the North Jersey lacrosse vote stands out for its narrow regional focus and its single fixed weekly deadline, the 5 p.m. Thursday close, which none of the other six print as plainly on their own pages.

Strengthening support in this weekly lacrosse vote

A weekly ballot rewards a different kind of push than a single season-ending award: showing up again each week matters more than one large effort. Because a new North Jersey lacrosse vote opens on a rolling basis and closes every Thursday at 5 p.m., supporters who share the current poll.fm link early in that week have more time to reach people than those who wait for the deadline.

For this weekly lacrosse vote specifically, North Jersey has posted no outside-help policy, so nothing here says what the organizer permits or forbids about purchased or automated support; the live ballot, not this page, would carry that rule if one exists. What repeats every week is the plain mechanic: a public form, one click to choose, one click to submit. Building real momentum for an online ballot covers approaches suited to a rolling weekly poll rather than a once-a-year vote.
