Thank you for a great experience!
August 1, 2019: My son loved the camp. He made a lot of friends. He really liked all the games his team played and the skills learned. His favorite was probably the fastest shooter. He said the environment was great. It was well organized, the food was great, but loved all the hands on lacrosse teaching the most. He definitely recommends his little brother to go next year. Thank you for a great experience!

July 25, 2019: My son LOVED this camp. The coaches were organized and encouraging. He felt like he learned more in 4 days at camp then an entire season of lacrosse at school....that's amazing! The food was great, accommodations were awesome, and perfect amount of instruction, games, and free time. Well done!

Gained confidence
August 2, 2018: The individual skills portion of camp helped my son gain confidence and new skills. In the tournament directly following camp, he rarely lost a faceoff—and has a new love and appreciation for the game.

By far the best!
July 26, 2018: This was our first year at Xcelerate Nike's Camp. We have have been going to Lacrosse camps for 2yrs and this camp is by far the best. My son felt like he learned new skills and it was a higher caliber of coaching. He’s actually wanting to stay the night next year.

Look forward to participating in future camps
August 6, 2015: Each session we saw care, professionalism, passion and skill being passed on to the participants...it was really inspiring for the kids and us as well. In particular, your emphasis on teaching individualized skills on a daily basis, positive reward as a teaching philosophy and helping them understand the power of being a team player were especially evident. You deserve to be successful and we look forward to participating in future camps. Thanks!
