The Quaker City Lacrosse Club coaches and trains middle and high school tournament teams (grades 1 through 12).

Our Coaches have played at Brown, Temple, George Mason, Duke, Lehigh, Ohio State, Cornell, Old Dominion, Pomona, Mary Washington, and Haverford College. Our strong belief is that you need to practice to get better. We are not just a club that practices a few times in the summer and goes to tournaments. For our current HS level teams, we have held over 30 practices and our MS school girls have practiced close to 30 times. We also coach our teams in a winter league and the middle school teams in a fall league.
NXT Girls Fall Skills Sessions, six 90-minute skill sessions on weeknights in Oct & Nov.
These sessions are open to all players, no matter what school/club team affiliation. We don’t care who you play for, we just want to help you get better by providing an opportunity for all players to learn, work hard, and have fun! Players will be broken up into small, age-appropriate groups with an experienced coach. The sessions will emphasize individual instruction, fundamental mechanics, positional skill sets, and high repetitions. Coaches will be chosen from a pool of our NXT LC coaches, as well as guest coaches (DI players, HS Coaches) who have been hand selected from our coach’s training/screening system.
