Loved it!

July 18, 2015: I started this camp with very little knowledge of Lacrosse. I could throw and sort of catch, but that was about it! Throughout this camp, I learned how to catch and throw correctly, I learned the rules of the game, I learned tons of skills! After going to Nike Lacrosse Camp I feel confident about trying out for my high school team! I would most definitely recommend Nike Lacrosse Camp!
