Great experience!
My son had a great experience. This was his first Nike Lacrosse camp and he really hates that he will be graduating in 2020 and not able to attend another. He said the coaches were extremely approachable and he felt like he was able to get enough one on one attention and coaching.

Great staff, great location!
November 21, 2023 -
My son loved everything about it, especially the one on one coaching and the evaluations at the end. Super helpful.

My son really enjoyed the scrimmages. Having the chance to play with and against others in a similar grade that he doesn't always get to play with/against was something he really enjoyed. Instruction was very good as well, but the scrimmages are what he talked about and walked us through.
July 16, 2023 -
It was great to see familiar coaches from previous years, as well as our local coaches at the camp. In addition, the skills evaluation is so helpful in assisting the players understand their areas of strength and where they could use more practice.

Overall a five star experience!
Wonderful experience. Checkout was not very efficient... Everything else was a great experience. Really enjoyed Buff Grubb and the family atmosphere at Clemson university. Overall a five star experience!

He loved every second of it.
He called me every night to tell me how much fun he was having. He loved every second of it. Said the coaches were super encouraging, he made some new friends, and learned a ton about lacrosse. He can't wait to show his high school team mates his new moves. Just bought himself a ladder and cones to improve footwork. Last night when he got home, he said, Mama, I've got to hit the gym tomorrow and keep pushing so I'll be ready for the season. Thank you so much for offering this great opportunity!

Impressed with the coaches.
My son had a great time at camp! It was very well organized with the right combination of drills and scrimmages that kept it fun. I was very impressed with the coaches' emphasis on teaching the kids to respect and honor the game of lacrosse. Class act for sure! We will be back next summer!

Encouraging and Helpful.
My son was new to Lacrosse and the coaches were aware of that and made him welcome, encouraged him, and helped him with everything. He definitely wants to continue with the game.

Thank You!
My son not only had a great time, but he had the opportunity to work with and learn from incredibly skilled coaches and counselors, as well as other campers. He came home with a clear understanding of his strengths, but also areas where he needs to improve. He has already been talking about what drills he needs to work on before the fall season. Thank you so much for an amazing camp experience! We'll be back next year!

Learned a great deal!
My two boys had a blast at the Clemson camp and learned a great deal. The coaching was superb and the player evaluations at the end of the camp were helpful in identifying what areas of the game the kids needed to work on. My sons have already asked if they can go back next year.

The instruction and safety were great!
The instruction and safety were great. My son felt he learned a lot and was well cared for. He enjoyed the meals in the cafeteria there on campus and the instruction. He also liked the opportunity to be coached by someone different and get difference perspectives on his techniques.

Highly recommend.
As a coach of a realtivley new LAX program Buff Grubb (Head Coach) took time to explain and share information with us new coaches. Coach Grubb and the entire coahing staff at Clemson show true love for the game and are very approachable, knowledgeable and willing to offer sound advice. We brought 6 players at different skill levels and they all left camp with a stronger skill set and understanding of the game of Lacrosse. He allowed us on-field to watch drills and instrution up-close. As coaches we've been able to incorporate what we learned into our progams. I would highly recommend this camp.

See you next summer.
Our son had never officially played lacrosse before and we were amazed at how much he learned in a very short time. The coaching staff was amazing. We were so impressed when introductions were done at the talent our son would be coached by. He came away with a love for the game and is excited about the fall season. Thank you so much for a great camp! He has already asked if he can go next year.

Well done!
As a parent of a camper, I came and watched the activities every day. It was well organized and run with enthusiasm. My son came home excited about the skills and drills and he put them to use in a tournament the following weekend. His coach even commented on his improvement from the camp. Thanks.

Become a better player.
It brings in players from all areas of the country giving each the opportunity to compete against different styles of play which can work to improve their experience. Having college coaches, college players and high school coaches as instructors gives the campers a wealth of knowledge from which they can use to become better players.

Great experience!
My son enjoyed his experience at the Clemson Nike Camp and came away knowing he had received a wealth of knowledge and training which he can use to make himself a better player. We would recommend this camp to any lacrosse player seeking to improve their ability to play. After all, that is what it's about, becoming the best you can be and advancing the sport of lacrosse.

Great for all levels.
Coach Grubb, Thank you and all the other coaches for making Ford's first camp so great. He has not stopped talking about the coaches and all of his new friends. He has been telling his brother all about camp and how the scad coach is going to send him stuff. He is very happy that the coach/Clemson Goalie is his friend. As a youth coach, I know how much effort it takes to make sure 15-30 players in the same age range feel connected and involved. I am truly impressed that you and your staff accomplished this with 150 kids and a 7 year age spread. It was not just with Ford, Woody and his mother (ford's roomate from Germany) spoke with me for awhile today and he had the same comments on how great the coaches and other campers were to them. Thanks for everything!!

Learn new skills.
This was our first resident sporting camp and I was impressed by the ease and detail associated with registration and the information received prior to the camp. My child was the youngest in the camp, and his skill level not as high as the older children, but he still felt very included and received great instruction.

Coach Grubb, Just a quick note to thank you and your staff for keeping an eye on Robert while at camp this week. He and his friends had a terrific time and came away with more enthusiasm and drive than ever! We look forward to attending next year.

Very organized. The staff was amazing. We were so impressed with the talent our son was exposed to and was able to be coached by. One of our favorite things was the evaluation each camper received at the end of camp.
