Loved the coaches
July 20, 2018: My child loved playing with the coaches after game play she felt that was where she grew as a player. She also enjoyed skit night because it made it feel like a summer camp and not just a field hockey camp. She really enjoyed playing the games in the night session because she felt that was when she could work on the skills she learned during the day. The coaches were able to give her some great insight.

great experience
July 18, 2018: The staff assessed my daughter’s ability and encouraged her to move up to another level if she felt it was needed. She needed that encouragement and moved up after the first session. Addison thrived at the D-2 level, even earning an all star award. She loves playing with the older players and being pushed to use her skills. The staff did a great job putting players who knew each other close by in the dorms but also mixing them with new kids during sessions. It was a great experience overall.

It is Competitive but Fair!
July 18, 2018: She loves the independence of being on her own and playing a sport she loves. She goes with a lot of her friends and of course loves that. She likes having new coaches to learn from and enjoys that none of the coaches play favorites. It is competitive but fair!

Had a blast at camp
August 1, 2016: In the midst of stressing about playing collegiate field hockey, this camp was not only super helpful for keeping up with skills and gameplay but a great and crucial reminder that at the end of the day, field hockey is supposed to be fun. The staff did a great job of making the atmosphere feel like a real camp and not just a few field hockey filled days. I had a blast.

Coach Laura runs an excellent camp
July 28, 2016: My daughter had never played field hockey or been away to camp. She is already planning to go back next year.

Coach Laura runs an excellent camp.

International coaches
I think this was a really rewarding camp overall. I loved skit night, and the coaches were awesome. They even took into consideration having coaches from different parts of the world, which showed everyone different skill levels overall. This camp was really fun and rewarding, I learned a lot. Thanks!!

Encouraging coaches
I would definitely recommend this camp to others. It had the perfect balance of fun and intensity. The coaches were very helpful and encouraging. The turf field was nice because it gave the campers the opportunity to learn new advanced skills that they couldn't learn if they usually play on grass. I loved the camp and if I wasn't a senior, I definitely would go back next year!!!

One of the best camps I've ever been to.
The Nike Field Hockey Camp is a place where new friends are a guarantee. The coaches are always so happy and they never overworked any camper. You are placed in a group where you will be comfortable skill wise and age wise. This is a camp where we don't always play field hockey, there are other activities as well, like, going to the beach, skit night, and hanging in the lounge. The Nike Field Hockey Camp was one of the best camps I've ever been to.

Get a taste of college
I would recommend Nike camp to anyone who enjoys playing the game. The coaches teach you lots of good information. You also get a good little college experience. You have to be on time to the field and to meals. Rooming is fun too because you make new friends and learn to get along with others.

The Best!
This is the best for Field Hockey. I have done this FH Camp at Endicott College the last two years and did 2 weeks this year. This is one of the best camps I go to, and I play Varsity Ice Hockey, and JV Lax as a Freshmen at my HS. I want to play FH in College, and I think this camp will help me.

Amazing week
Had an amazing week at this camp. It was really interesting to be able to play with international players, yet also see familiar coaches from nearby high schools and colleges. I learned so many new things while improving on the old. Had so much fun with my friends, and we can't wait to come back next year.
