CAL STATE MONTEREY BAY -
Monterey,
CA
Located only two hours south of San Francisco in the heart of beautiful Monterey Bay, the CSUMB campus is surrounded by several popular destinations such as Big Sur, Cannery Row, Monterey Bay Aquarium, Carmel-by-the-Sea, 17-Mile Drive and a number of world-class golf courses like Pebble Beach, Spanish Bay, Spyglass, and Black Horse.
This "complete skills" camp takes place each day at the CSUMB grass lacrosse complex while overnight campers are supervised in student dormitories located just up the road from the fields.
Co-Directors of the camp are
Cort Kim and
Blake Kim of
Talon Lacrosse.
Cort's playing career has earned him All-America honors at both the high school and collegiate levels as well as induction into the Athletic Hall of Fame at his alma mater, the University at Albany, NY, in 2002. His proudest playing moment occurred in the summer of 2002 when he represented South Korea in the World Lacrosse Championships in Perth, Australia. He continues to play competitive lacrosse in tournaments around the world. Cort's coaching career includes nationwide camps and clinics for youth and high school players; he was assistant coach of the Springfield College 1994 NCAA Division II National Championship team followed by a runner-up finish in 1995. While living in Phoenix, AZ, he coached the Desert Vista High School boys pro-gram to the 1st Arizona State Championship in lacrosse in 2000.
Alongside his brother, Blake played at the University at Albany, New York, where he, too, was inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame in 2002. He represented South Korea in the summer of 2002 in the World Lacrosse Championships in Perth, Australia, and he continues to play competitive lacrosse in tournaments around the world. Blake has extensive coaching experience at nearly every level of lacrosse, ranging from youth and high school lacrosse camps and clinics in New York,
Texas, Arizona, Hawaii and California, to a one-year assistant coaching stint with Division III Skidmore College in the early 1990s. He most recently served as a coach with the Ross Valley boy's youth lacrosse club in Marin County, California from 2003-2006.
What separates this camp from the others is a strong emphasis on video instruction where campers are exposed to every important individual and team lacrosse concept with an enormous library of video clips pulled from college and pro lacrosse games from the past thirty years. Campers are taught to emulate what they learn “in the classroom” and execute these concepts on the field.
