Our mission is to positively impact athletes, coaches, and parents through training, events, mentorship and digital content.
In 2018, Deemer founded First Class Lacrosse after committing to the sport full-time. Soon after, high school teammate and best friend, Matt Dunn, joined the team. Since inception FCL has continued to evolve. Our approach is rooted in our own personal experiences, but does not end there. We are driven to provide the coaching and knowledge that we wish we had received earlier in our careers. As life long learners, we continue to refine our methods to drive coaching and development forward in lacrosse.
Deemer and Matt were not heavily recruited compared to some of our peers. We were high school teammates who valued hard work, consistency, and accountability. We captained our 2012 Loyola Blakefield team to a 15-4 record, but ultimately fell short in the finals. Looking back, that loss was just the beginning of our lacrosse careers.
Deemer went on to win 2 National Championships at Duke and play professionally, while Matt continues to play professionally after a great career at Maryland. He recently won Gold with Team USA. Both captained their college teams, and are committed to making a wide lasting impact on the sport.
