Professional sports don’t run on adrenaline alone. On game night, everything fans experience. You have the lights, the video board, the in-arena sound, the instant replays. That all depends on managed IT services working exactly as they should. Behind the scenes, coaches rely on tablets and video, staff depend on secure communication, and operations teams manage systems that can’t afford downtime.

When that technology works, no one notices it. When it doesn’t, everyone does.

That’s why Eclipse is proud to be the technology partner of the Georgia Swarm. This partnership isn’t about logos or sponsorships. It’s about shared values. Just like the Swarm, we believe success is built on teamwork, collaboration, preparation, and trust.

A Brief History of the Georgia Swarm

The Georgia Swarm are a professional box lacrosse team competing in the National Lacrosse League (NLL), the top indoor lacrosse league in North America. Playing a fast, physical, and highly disciplined style of the game, the Swarm have helped establish professional lacrosse in the Southeast since relocating to Georgia in 2015. Over time, the team has built a loyal fan base, contributed to the growth of youth and high school lacrosse in Georgia.

What fans don’t always see is the infrastructure required to support a modern professional sports organization—secure systems, reliable communication, and technology that performs under pressure.

That’s where Eclipse comes in.

Why Technology Matters in Professional Sports

A professional sports organization depends on technology far beyond the scoreboard. Day-to-day operations rely on:

• Ticketing and fan engagement systems

• Internal communication and coordination

• Secure access for staff and partners

• Reliable connectivity on game days

• Data and reporting that support decisions on and off the field

When systems fail, the impact is immediate. When systems work, the focus stays on the game, where it belongs.

That’s the standard Eclipse helps support.

The Georgia Swarm 2026 Season

As the 2026 season has unfolded, the Swarm have shown they’re in a strong position heading into the latter part of the schedule. The team has competed well against tough league opponents, blending veteran leadership with younger players who have brought energy and depth to the lineup.

Key roster moves – including the addition of forward Connor Kelly – have strengthened offensive options, while emerging players like Nolan Byrne and Kean Moon have made their presence felt. Established contributors such as Shayne Jackson, Kaleb Benedict, and Michael Grace continue to drive transition play and scoring opportunities.

With the regular season running through the spring and playoff positioning on the line, the Swarm are well-positioned to make a strong push as the postseason approaches.

A Personal Connection to the Game

For Eclipse, this partnership is both professional and personal.

Co-founders Steve and Kathy Ryerse have followed lacrosse for years, first as fans and later as parents watching their daughter play.

“Lacrosse has always been a sport built on trust and preparation,” Steve shared. “Watching our daughter play showed us how much work happens long before the whistle blows, and that mindset is how we run Eclipse to this day.”

Kathy added:

“Lacrosse teaches accountability in a way few sports do. Everyone has to know their role, trust their teammates, and show up prepared. That’s the same mindset we bring to Eclipse, and it’s why partnering with the Georgia Swarm feels so natural to us.”

That shared respect for preparation and people is what makes the partnership meaningful.
