Northern Edge Lacrosse Club

Hosted at The University of Vermont



Directed by The University of Vermont's Head Women's Lacrosse Coach Jen Johnson


We want to introduce you to a new girls lacrosse club in Vermont that will be directed and coached by the current University of Vermont Coaching staff and players

The Northern Edge Lacrosse Club will help players take their game to the next level and provide the ultimate lacrosse experience. This will include highly instructional/competitive practices and the opportunity to travel and compete in the nation's best club tournaments. Northern Edge Lacrosse Club is committed to providing a positive, competitive and fun environment for players to develop into elite lacrosse players and learn life's important lessons that accompany a high quality athletic experience.

The coaching staff will host a yearly tryout for the Northern Edge Lacrosse Club Season. After this tryout the team roster will be announced. Once selected to the team, to be able to participate you are responsible for the $600 yearly membership fee. The Northern Edge Lacrosse Club Season will run from June through November and will never interfere with the High School or Middle School Season. Practice and Tournament dates will be posted on this website. Tournaments are not required, but suggested. There is a separate fee for each tournament and all players are responsible for their own travel and accommodations. The coaching staff will assist in providing hotel room blocks for the tournaments.
