Thank you for visiting us
today. The SMS Lacrosse family is an ideal place for
athletes to grow as both people and lacrosse players. As the
premier club lacrosse program in Southern Maryland, we are
constantly working to offer our athletes the best experience
possible. Since our start in almost a decade a go we have
had a tremendous amount of success in developing players at
the youth and high school level. Just take a look at
any lacrosse game in the area and you will find the best
players in that game have a connection to SMS.
In 2009 SMS HS players made up 8 of the 10
first team All-County, the only two All-American’s in
Southern Maryland and the only two players in Southern
Maryland to be selected for the MSLCA Free State team (The
top 44 players in all of Maryland). Every year 100% of SMS
rising seniors are recruited to play in collage. You can
find SMS players at places like Hopkins, Princeton, Towson,
UMBC, Yale, Army, Washington College, Gettysburg, Queens
University of Charlotte and many others. Simply put, if you
want to be the best play with the best.

As lacrosse grows so will the options for you when it comes
to choosing a select team to play for. We recognize that
there are other start up teams out there that want to sell
you a product, but don’t be fooled by promises. Our track
record speaks for itself. Here are some things that separate
us from the pack.
Wide Talent Pool - SMS teams are comprised
of best players from Calvert, Anne Arundel, Charles, St.
Mary’s and P.G. Counties. A lacrosse player wants the
best teammates he can have regardless of a player’s zip code
or what high school he will feed into. Our SMS
lacrosse teams do not discriminate based on a line on a map.
If you can play and want to excel we have a spot for you.
Our only stipulation is that you are committed to working to
become the best lacrosse player you can be, regardless of
what high school will benefit from the skills we help you
develop.
National Sponsorship- SMS
lacrosse is now sponsored by Harrow Sports. Our high visibly
in the spring National Premier Youth Lacrosse League and the
success of our select teams over our history of play have
paved the way for this partnership allowing SMS to provide
our youth lacrosse teams with gear that is truly second to
none. You will receive a fully sublimated custom SMS Team
uniform. Harrows’ custom SMS team gloves, a SMS team
fully sublimated custom performance t-shirt. And you will
have the ability to pick up top of the line Custom SMS
Cascade Pro 7 helmet for less then half the retail cost.

SMS YOUTH LACROSSE HIGHLIGHTS
What is the SMS Experience All About: Our
goal is a comprehensive program focused on the development
of your child’s lacrosse skills. Other select teams in the
Southern Maryland are thrown together for the summer, and do
not offer the type of program we offer. Our U11, U13 and U15
teams play together from February-November
and may also play in selected events after that. Our
spring teams play in the best youth lacrosse league in the
country and our summer and fall teams compete in the best
tournaments around. This is three seasons of premier
competition, with premier coaching at premiere venues. The
experience is second to none.
SMS Youth Lacrosse Mission: We are providing an opportunity to Southern Maryland youth
lacrosse players who excel at their sport the ability to
compete against and train with other players of their same
caliber for three seasons - spring, summer, and fall. SMS

who want to prepare themselves to play at high school and
beyond. We welcome parents and players who share in our
vision of excellence and thirst for competition.

High School Lacrosse Highlights
Pipeline to College - SMS

getting our players recruited to play college lacrosse.
Since our inception we have accomplished this without fail
as 100% of the players have gotten that phone call and/or
letter. Our complete focus is on teaching the skills,
character assets, and tools necessary to make the jump from
HS to college. Through our over 40 years of combined
lacrosse experience at the college HS and international
level our coaching staff is well prepared to make your
lacrosse dreams come true. We have developed a network of
college coaches that seek our players out and want our
players at their school. Our success has earned us inclusion
in some of the most exclusive recruiting events in the
country. We take advantage of this opportunity by talking to
coaches and sharing information on you at every game. The
reason any HS player steps on the field with SMS are because
they want to play in college and we can make that happen.
Wide Talent Pool - SMS Teams are comprised of best players from Calvert, Anne
Arundel, Charles, St. Mary’s and P.G. Counties and many
other Maryland and VA counties. We know there are good
lacrosse players across our area and we want your son to
have the ability to train with the best. Players from
outside of Southern Maryland come to play with us because of
who we are and the opportunities we afford them. A player
should want the best teammates he can have regardless of a
player’s zip code or what high school he will feed into.
Our players have feed into St. Mary’s Annapolis, The
Calverton School, McNamara, Ryken, Calvert, Patuxent,
Southern HS, South River, Huntingtown, Northern, and Wootten…
etc.
Fees and benefits - SMS has never turned away a player because of financial
concerns. Running an elite program with the very best of
everything is not a cheap venture, but we believe that the
investment in the SMS lacrosse experience is well worth it.
Your return will be the development of your child’s game to
the level you could not imagine as well as for the HS elite
player the creation of the pipeline to college coaches with
continued year long support in the recruiting process.
Total cost to compete on our HS Developmental Team: $650
