She LOVED her coaches
July 27, 2018: Each day Sophie talked about a skill she worked on and a highlight in her game. She LOVED her coaches. I was impressed with what I saw when I would pick up. All coaches were engaged in game play, always coaching and providing positive feedback. the coaching staff was tremendous. I never once saw a coach being "lazy". They were fabulous in terms of their knowledge of the game but also their positive energy. I appreciate how the camp will work with kids and move them to different groups. They seemed extremely flexible and the main focus was to make sure the kids felt happy and comfortable with the group they were in.

Highly recommend this camp
Dear future camper, I attended the Nike field hockey camp at Lexington this summer and had a really great camp experience! The coaches worked us hard, and I was sore at the end of each day, but the trade off was worth it! I improved so much over the four days, met girls from other schools, and heightened my desire to play at the college level. I highly recommend this camp. I was even invited to play futures! Best of luck to you, and I hope to see you out on the turf!

My 11 y.o. daughter had never played field hockey and did not know anyone else at the camp but the counselors put her at ease and she easily made friends.
