Helped my daughter tremendously!
My daughter made great new friends, had a fun time socially and felt she learned a lot about playing goalie in Lacrosse. She is new to the sport but loves playing it and wants to excel at playing goalie, she felt this camp helped her tremendously.

Knowledgeable coaching
My child enjoyed working with the knowledgeable coaching staff and liked the variety of skill stations. As an attack player, she was able to refine her stick skills, footwork and lacrosse IQ which will make her a stronger player.

Wonderful experience
The camp was a wonderful experience for our daughter. She came home with a strong sense of skills needed to improve her game. The instructors were attentive, encouraging and skilled. My only note was the food in the cafeteria. It could use a few more vegetarian options. Other than that everything was great!

Come learn new skills!
The coaches made the two hour sessions a lot of fun and go by really fast while at the same time teaching fundamental skills. I loved experience life on the USC campus and living in the dorms. Can't wait for next summer!
