Highly recommend!
My son LOVED the Nike Lacrosse Camp! One of my girlfriends had been recommending the camp after her son went the year before and had a wonderful experience. The staff, campus, instruction and activities were amazing and my son learned a lot of new moves and improved drastically from the camp. I have been telling everyone with a child that plays lacrosse that their child MUST attend this camp! We felt that he was safe the entire time and had no worries or concerns while he was at USD. I give the camp an A+ and strongly recommend it!
Thank you!
My son had a wonderful experience and said when he left camp he had learned valuable new techniques/skills and was consequently going to be a better player. The coaches were great. The focus on being a good student as well as a great lacrosse player was important too. It was an all around awesome experience for my son. Thank you!
Very worthwhile camp.
The instruction is excellent and the focus on stick skills was most valuable...sometimes on a regular team, you can forget some of the most basic tips that will help you to be a better player...constantly staying on stick skills and looking at that intensely was very worthwhile.
Looking forward to next year!
This was our first year of camp and we are new to LAX. My son loved the camp and can't wait for next year.
