GIRLS FIRST. ALWAYS.
At NEMS Lacrosse, our Girls First philosophy is at the heart of everything we do. It means we put the player first, prioritizing the whole individual, both on and off the field.
We are proud to be the premier girls’ lacrosse club in Northeast Maryland, serving top athletes from Harford, Cecil, and Baltimore Counties, as well as Southern Pennsylvania. We balance health, growth, and performance so players thrive both on and off the field.
Since our founding, more than 200 NEMS Lacrosse athletes have gone on to compete at the Division I and II level, and over 100 more have continued their athletic and academic careers at Division III programs, many on academic scholarships.
Player-Focused Development
At NEMS Lacrosse, growth is intentional. Our Club Director works directly with coaching staff to design personalized development plans that grow skills, confidence, and lacrosse IQ at every age level.
This tailored approach ensures that every player from rising talent to elite competitor trains at the right pace, builds confidence, and reaches her full potential.
Elite Facilities for Every Season
NEMS Lacrosse athletes train and compete year-round on premier outdoor and indoor facilities, providing consistent practice space and ideal conditions for skill development. Our home base, Rutledge Fields in Jarrettsville, MD, features expansive all-grass fields large enough to host the entire club and serves as the primary training site for fall, spring, and summer seasons.
Our elementary and middle school teams also train on premier turf fields at The John Carroll School in Bel Air, MD. During the winter, athletes continue development at multiple top-tier indoor facilities across the area, ensuring uninterrupted training.
Train Together. Rise Together.
At NEMS Lacrosse, you’ll train alongside driven, like-minded girls who push each other to grow, compete, and achieve their goals on and off the field.
NEMS Lacrosse is a not-for-profit organization built with one mission: helping our players reach the next level. We’re dedicated to guiding girls toward schools and programs that fit them best, while continuing our 25+ year legacy of Girls First lacrosse in the community we love.
At NEMS Lacrosse, your daughter means more than a roster spot, she’s family.
