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.

Professionalism - Our coaching staff includes:  Former and current college lacrosse players; an Italian National Lacrosse team coach; SMAC coach of the year; Washington Post All Metro Coach of the Year; A former college lacrosse coach, MILL Coach of the Year; US Lacrosse Coach of the Year, US Lacrosse Man of the Year and former professional lacrosse players. The depth of experience and knowledge is staggering. This means that our players get coached up on the game inside and out.

Premier Facilities - SMS Lacrosse is housed at The Calverton School in Huntingtown, Maryland and has access to the schools premier Bermuda grass fields. They are the best fields in the county and they are ours to use.

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 U11, U13 and U15 Teams are for the elite lacrosse players 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.

Membership in the Spring National Premier Youth Lacrosse League  (www.NPYLL.com)  The NPYLL is composed of the top youth select teams from Washington D.C., Maryland and Virginia. It is not a stretch to say that this league is the top youth lacrosse league in the country.  This is why we are seeking the best youth lacrosse players around.  This league is part of what will help your son prepare for the next level.  Want proof?   Multiple 2009 SMS U15 lacrosse players and are now on D1, DII and DIII college tracking list as HS freshmen?  Incredible but true!  SMS is the only club program in Southern Maryland invited to play in the NPYLL. 

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. Yes there are low cost options out there, but be wise as you compare the products. Cheaper is sometimes just cheaper. When comparing our program to others you will see a stark difference. If you love our product, but need support we are committed to making our program available to those who show the commitment and ability. Total cost to compete on our SUMMER U11, U13, U15  teams is $550. For that fee you get: Custom SMS Harrow Gloves,  Custom Performance Tee,  Custom Full Sublimated Team Uniform, 10-15 practices, Elite Coaching and 4 tournaments.

 

High School Lacrosse Highlights

Pipeline to College - SMS Lacrosse is committed to 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.
