Why Noreaster?

Nor’easter Lacrosse is DIFFERENT!

COACHES: Every team at every level is coached by at least one college coach and assisted by current college players.  Our high school coaches are simply THE best in the state, year in and year out ….why is this important?

These coaches are consistent throughout the year and they know how to coach the game of lacrosse to prepare our players for the next level.  We love our parents but our coaching ranks are for professional coaches alone.  They are able to guide and shape our players for the intricacies of the college game even if you are a middle school player.  The scope of their knowledge is invaluable and they are the best coaches in the state.  These are not guest coaches….these are Nor’easter coaches.

PRACTICES:  Our program exists to teach the game of lacrosse to every player, no matter her starting point.  While we believe that tournaments offer us the ability to test our skills against other teams, practices will always remain a focus of Nor’easter Lacrosse…what does this mean?

This means that you will have at least 20 scheduled practices throughout the year.  These are not huge clinics with guest coaches, these are practices run at an elite level that will drill the proper skills and teach our players HOW to play at a college level.  Your daughters coach will be coaching your daughter EVERY practice and get to know her talents and her weakness and help turn those weaknesses into strengths.  The advantage of our college and elite high school coaches is that they are able to adapt the game to every level of skill while also laying the groundwork of skills that will be needed as our players advance.  In addition to practices we do host COLLEGE COACHES CLINICS indoors during the Winter for our high school players, just another connection and learning opportunity for our players.

CONNECTIONS:  We can’t say it again, and we’re not bragging….our coaches bring with them a resource that you cannot replicate in college lacrosse and that resource is their connections.  As the ONLY club in Connecticut to employ full time coaches from at least 7 Division I and III programs, when it comes time to ask questions about the college process, the coach that you see every practice is your best networking tool.  In addition, the presence of long time and quality high school coaches from all over the state allows the middle school player to have a resource when it comes to the high school game.  Our coaches’ connections to the college and high school game for recruiting and guidance is invaluable.

EXPERIENCE:  Our program has evolved over the last 6 years and we have helped place some of the most talented lacrosse players into college lacrosse programs throughout the country.  Visit www.noreasterlacrosse.com for a complete list of alumni.
