Kelly Post Lacrosse:
The oldest youth lacrosse program in America

Founded in 1958, and named to honor the Ensign C. Markland Kelly, Kelly Post Lacrosse is a volunteer-driven, community-focused program that coaches boys and girls from ages four to fourteen.

Our history makes us special. Ensign Kelly, a talented goalie from Baltimore who excelled at Gilman and then the University of Maryland, left college and volunteered to become a pilot in the US Navy in 1940. We honor his life and service by using an image of the Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat as our symbol, the plane he flew off the deck of the USS Hornet during the Battle of Midway. Ensign Kelly took off from the Hornet on June 4th, 1942 but never returned.

Kelly Post Lacrosse has a long history of producing talented lacrosse players who compete at the highest levels, while inspiring young men to give of themselves for the good of their community and neighbors.
