  • Season 2022
    How the camp staff fostered a love of lacrosse and emphasizes hard work and the kids made some great new friends
  • Season 2022
    Specific guidance from my son's coach and the friendships he made in the short time he was there. My son said the said was "awesome" and he could tell how much they loved the sport. He also made some great friends from other states and simply had a blast. When I picked him up, the "closing ceremony" with the awards and speeches was a great way for parents to see the interaction among peers and coaches. My son left camp extremely happy and very sore! I loved seeing him this way:)
  • Season 2021
    My son enjoyed being at Berry - the dorm and dining hall. He really enjoyed making new friends. The coaches were all great and built wonderful rapport with the boys. He enjoyed the opportunity to get to hone his goalie skills.
  • Season 2021
    My son loved the the drills done in the sessions. He particularly appreciated learning about how to step over the crease. I appreciated the coaches kindness and consideration when Bryce pulled a muscle- he was still a part of the teaching and allowed to participate according to his ability without being hassled. The check-in process was a little slow and the briefing was not needed for parents, but that’s about it. It was a great camp!
  • Season 2021
    During one break he asked a coach to help him with his shot. That coach spent quite a while with him and he was able to get it. Now he is consistently shooting the top corners of the net. Not bad for a newbie. The lacrosse camp had the right mix of fun and work. He was exhausted but learned so much and feels better about himself and the way he plays now.
  • Season 2019
    He said it was awesome! The coaches let him try a different position than he normally plays and it turns out he did great. He felt as though the coaches were able to give the boys a lot of tips and training while having a really good time.
  • Season 2018
    Great setting and facilities at the Berry College campus. Coach Gilbert and his staff were well organized and so much fun. It was a great mix of high level instruction and letting kids being kids. The college players who were helping run sessions were just so great to the younger kids and full of advice and tips for the older boys considering Berry for their college choice!
  • Season 2017
    My son had a great time! He wants to go back next year. He liked the freedom and independence and of course he LOVES lacrosse!!
  • Season 2017
    The first thing that my son said to me was not hello, it was 'Can we come back next year?' It was a great opportunity for him to meet other kids that share a passion for the same sport that he does.
  • Season 2017
    The counselors were so nice as always! The coaching is top notch and the campus is beautiful. My son leaves and is always thrilled with the experience. He talks about playing lacrosse in college and specifically dreams of playing for Berry.
  • Season 2016
    This is our son's second year attending Nike Lacrosse Camp and he has come home both times very excited about playing the game of lacrosse. His skills and knowledge have improved dramatically. Thanks for the great coaching!
  • Season 2016
    Berry College was super organized before and during camp. The coaches also did a great job at creating a very positive atmosphere for the campers. Supervision and safety was especially impressive and the positive attitudes of the college players who assisted and the coaches made camp fun for all. Can't wait for next summer!
  • Season 2016
    This camp was great. My son learned so much and even discovered he is better at a different position - one he had never been given the opportunity to play before. All the staff was super friendly and super helpful during the check-in/out process and my son really enjoyed his time there. He will be back!

    I was so happy for my son. I told him he needed to go to a camp and learn how to correctly play the game since he has only played 2 years. After his time at camp, he was awarded most improved player. He also took what he learned back to his school to teach the other players. Money well spent!! Thanks Coaches!! Sincerely Happy Mom

  • Season 2016
    As a Berry College alumni and veteran educator, I strongly commend Coach Gilbert and his staff for their efforts in creating excellent LAX camp, The breakdown of skill instruction and practice was excellent, and the positive, encouraging attitudes of the staff were reflected in the campers through out the week.
  • Season 2015
    My son just finished his first season of lacrosse when I signed him up for the Nike camp at Berry College. I can't recommend this camp enough. My son learned so much and came back believing in himself and talking about college lacrosse. When I sat watching the end of camp ceremony I was so impressed with the positive environment that that coaches and counselors had with the students. It was the best camp and I can't tell you enough that if your on the fence send them. My son learned so many skills that he's now practicing on his own. He's already talking about camp next year.
  • Season 2015
    This camp is SO organized!! There is absolutely no confusion on where to drop off and pick up your camper. Staff accompanies an assigned group of campers to every activity, so there is no unsupervised time like at other camps that we have participated in. We will be back!
  • Season 2015
    Good organization. Berry College was a great location. Coach was fun, and I liked the extra coaching he gave, especially the face -off help.

Camp Coaches

  • Ned Kaish

    Ned Kaish

    Head Coach

    Ned Kaish was named Head Men's Lacrosse Coach in July 2026.

    Ned Kaish

    Ned Kaish

    Head Coach

    Kaish comes to Berry from Lenoir-Rhyne University, an NCAA Division II program in North Carolina, where he served as an assistant coach for six years. During his tenure, he helped lead the Bears to an NCAA National Championship, six NCAA Tournament appearances, two South Atlantic Conference (SAC) regular season championships, three SAC Tournament titles, and three appearances in the NCAA Championship game.

    The Bears posted an 85-16 overall record during Kaish's six seasons on staff. He played a key role in developing one of the most prolific scorers in NCAA lacrosse history and helped mentor the top three scorers in Lenoir-Rhyne program history.

    In 2023, Kaish helped lead the Bears to one of the most successful seasons in program history. Lenoir-Rhyne broke multiple offensive records, including team single-season marks, while also setting new single-game records for assists and man-up goals. The Bears captured their first NCAA National Championship, and Kaish coached two All-Americans as well as the NCAA Tournament's Most Outstanding Player.

    Prior to his time at Lenoir-Rhyne, Kaish served as the head coach at Northview High School in Johns Creek, Georgia where he led the Titans to three consecutive playoff appearances while coaching three All-State selections and one All-American. Kaish also served as an assistant coach at Greater Atlanta Christian School, helping guide the program to a Final Four appearance and a school record for goals scored in a season.

    As a student-athlete at Lenoir-Rhyne, Kaish earned First Team All-Conference honors in 2015 finishing his career among the program's all-time leaders. He ranks sixth in school history in points (170), fifth in goals scored (124), and is tied for the program record in man-up goals. His 42 goals in 2015 rank among the top single-season totals in school history, and his 21 career hat tricks are tied for fifth all-time.

    In addition to his success on the field, Kaish has built strong recruiting relationships throughout the Southeast and has been actively involved in identifying and developing talent in one of the nation's fastest-growing lacrosse regions. His experience coaching in Georgia and recruiting across the South provides valuable insight into the continued growth of the sport and positions him well to attract outstanding student-athletes to Berry College.

    Kaish graduated from Lenior-Rhyne in 2015 with a degree in Broadcast and Electronic Media with a concentration in Sports Studies.
