Originally founded in 1997 as a means for high school seniors to participate in a single summer lacrosse tournament, the club was transformed into its present state by Jim & Lisa McHugh. The NEMS lacrosse club was founded to provide the opportunity for Harford County’s finest players to improve their skills and showcase their talents against similar teams across the country. From the original team of seniors playing in a single tournament, our organization has grown to include seven (7) teams organized by high school graduation year; Rising Seniors, Rising Juniors, Rising Sophomores, Rising Freshmen, Rising Eighth Graders, Rising Seventh Graders and Rising Sixth Graders playing in various events throughout the year. Our teams consist primarily of players who reside in Harford County, MD and play for either county public/private schools or Baltimore-area private schools. In 2007 NEMS voted to lift any boundary restriction and welcome any aspiring player to participate in our annual open tryouts.
