July 1, 2021: Malachi loved the coaching staff and the positive and constructive comments they made! Overall I am super happy we signed up and will sign up again next year!

invaluable experience
July 1, 2021: This week provided Gavin with an opportunity to see youth his own age that are far more skilled than himself and provided a much-needed perspective. As parents, we believe you can only improve when you surround yourself with better players than yourself. Gavin has been a big fish in a little pond during middle school. As he moves onto high school, he will have a much better idea of the deep talent in the game. Gavin has a great work ethic and the importance of this was reinforced by this invaluable experience.

he begged us to add the extended day option!
June 27, 2021: The coaches were a highlight of Brooklyn's camp experience. He liked them, respected them, and was given so much time and attention from each coach in his division. He also raved about the food. Originally, he was only signed up for a regular day, 9 am-4 pm. After the first day, he begged us to add the extended day option so he could stay until 9 pm. He wanted every moment he could get at this camp. He rated it 10/10!

learned so much from the experience
June 25, 2021: He loved the whole experience. The coaching from current and former players was great. The whole dorm experience was a true test of his ability to survive the week without family around. He made lots of new friends and learned so much from the experience.

he came back more mature
July 6, 2019: First time ever for Troy away from home for that long. As a parent, he came back more mature & gained confidence not only in the sport but as a whole. Troy said the whole experience was a highlight, meeting new friends & building skills that will take him through life.

Thank you to all of the coaches
June 30, 2019: This was my son’s second time with the shooting camp. He loved staying overnight and had lots of fun but learned a lot. When I picked him up he said: “Mom, I want to do the whole week next time”. I’m gonna say that this camp was a success. Thank you to all of the coaches who gave their time to teach.

My son always comes away a better player.
July 23, 2017: My son's first overnight camp experience was last year with this same camp and he loved it. As a parent, I was grateful that he felt so safe and supported to be away for so long the first time. This year, we also added on the shooting camp and again he loved all of it. The staff are friendly AND good at what they do. My son always comes away a better player, and loving the game even more than before. He definitely wants to come back next year, and I'll be sending him!

Everyone was super nice and encouraging!
July 01, 2017: The positive environment! Everyone was super nice and encouraging! We (parents and campers) were greeted by friendly staff. My son gained much more than advancing his skills. The atmosphere of camp helped boost his confidence all around. He seemed to have bonded with his coach and other staff members.

My son had a wonderful time
My son was the youngest camper and the smallest camper so I worried about his being accepted. But with the help of the director and staff, he was easily immersed into the games/drills by all. The kids were great and he had a wonderful time. Thank you.
