It is the goal of Nor’easter Lacrosse to provide girls with the best lacrosse experience possible.

We are dedicated to providing all members with comprehensive training to become the best players they can be. We know sports teach so much to these young girls and are proponents of growing the person, not just the player.

  • For Elite Travel Members

    Nor'easter Elite is meant for the players of Connecticut that are committed to elevating their game for themselves, their town, their high school, and their collegiate future as Student-Athletes. There will be two teams per grade for 6th through 11th grade. Elite players will be treated as such, expected to come to each practice ready to push themselves at game speed with the intent of readying themselves for the highest level and/or college experience. Elite members have both mandatory and optional tournaments spread throughout the club season and will be placed to best showcase their abilities at all events. An example schedule is below.

  • For House Members

    The Nor'easter House team is a critical component of the Nor’easter program and our practice-based and skill development ethos. The house team is meant for the players intent on focusing on skill development and using the practice schedule during the club season to improve all aspects of their game from skills to lacrosse IQ. These players will be coached by the same high-caliber Nor’easter coaches and have the same practice schedule and gear as Nor’easter Travel members without the commitment of multiple tournaments for the fall or summer seasons. The Nor'easter coaching staff will work with them to raise their game in-house so they will have more of an impact on their town and high school teams. Tournaments will be additional if there is enough interest. House team members will practice at the same time as their age counterparts, but will have a dedicated house team and dedicated house coaches all for themselves.
