Loved coach mario!
Coach Mario and his staff made the camp fun and very educational. My son is 17 and has played lacrosse for 6 years. When got home, he showed his brother (college lacrosse player) everything he learned. He was excited and said I wish coach Mario was still coaching college LAX, I would play for him!

Thank you Nike Lacrosse!
My son has poured himself into lacrosse this summer, but the fruit he got out of this experience has by far had the most impact. As a parent it was great to be invited to watch the boys vs. girls game and the camp championship. It is great to have a window into the players experiences. The presence and professionalism of the coaches is something I am truly grateful for. Thank you Nike Lacrosse!

had the best time!
Our 14 year old had the best time! He learned a lot of skills, gained a lot of confidence, had his first amazing collegiate-stay experience at an incredible facility, the coaches were knowledgeable and lead by example. In addition to skills learned on the field, he also gained focus and direction in an attempt to play lacrosse in college; coaches encouraged off the field priorities to help reach his goals. He is motivated and this camp sparked more drive and determination to reach his goals. We will be back year after year and sending our other son next year as well!

great competition
Our son was younger for the group but was still included in all the drills and activities. Coaches were a great mixture of structured but with the goal of getting better and having fun. Competition level was great.

Definitely be back next year!
Our son has played one year on a club team and participated in local camps and clinics. He said he learned more in the Nike camp than he did in all the others combined. Coach Enea and his staff were fantastic. They focused on skills and teamwork and always made the hard work fun. Our son will definitely be back next year.

My son attended the Nike Lacrosse camp this summer at the beautiful USD campus. He had a wonderful experience from the moment we arrived. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. He said everyday was great and he met a lot of nice people. He has been playing Lacrosse for about 4 years. He switched to goalie for the 1st time and loved it. He said it was a great experience and now he is going to try out for goalie at his High School this fall. We will be back again next summer.

Thank you!
My son had a wonderful experience and said when he left camp he had learned valuable new techniques/skills and was consequently going to be a better player. The coaches were great. The focus on being a good student as well as a great lacrosse player was important too. It was an all around awesome experience for my son. Thank you!

Highly recommend!
My son LOVED the Nike Lacrosse Camp! One of my girlfriends had been recommending the camp after her son went the year before and had a wonderful experience. The staff, campus, instruction and activities were amazing and my son learned a lot of new moves and improved drastically from the camp. I have been telling everyone with a child that plays lacrosse that their child MUST attend this camp! We felt that he was safe the entire time and had no worries or concerns while he was at USD. I give the camp an A+ and strongly recommend it!
July 10, 2015 -
Very worthwhile camp.
The instruction is excellent and the focus on stick skills was most valuable...sometimes on a regular team, you can forget some of the most basic tips that will help you to be a better player...constantly staying on stick skills and looking at that intensely was very worthwhile.
