10 out of 10!
The coaches at this camp were excellent at team building. My daughter who went alone made friends very easily because of all the ice breakers and effort the coaches put into making sure the girls got to know one another. They also had a lot of knowledge of the game. The experience they brought and game like situations made for such an informative camp. Not to mention their attention to the girls safety. 10 out of 10!

My daughter had a great time at goalie camp. She learned so much and is already looking forward to being in the goal next season to practice what she learned at camp. When I picked her up she was already talking about returning to goalie camp next summer! Wow!

Best choice!
I just wanted to tell you that my child attended your Goalie School laws week and it was by far the best camp ever! I promise we have spent a lot of money on camps and private lessons and they learned so much at your camp. Most camps simply don't focus enough on goalie instruction! This was by far the best choice and investment we have ever made in our childs future as a goalie.

Wonderful time!
I wanted to take a quick moment of your time to let you know that my daughter had a wonderful time. This was her first away camp experience and it was much better than she ever thought it could be. She was so excited to tell me about every drill, every scrimmage and the fun she had meeting the other campers. I am impressed, as a parent, how open and honest your student coaches were with the campers on the importance of doing well in school, being a well rounded student, having a great attitude, etc. I am happy that she heard these essentials from a group other than her parents, as this is something we are constantly reinforcing.
