  • The staff that the Nike lacrosse camp provides, is very good, they are willing to provide as much time as needed towards the players and making them better. Their focus on improving basic skills and applying them to game situations was awesome. Thank you for such a great week!
  • This is a great camp to help lacrosse players, of all skill levels, take the next step. The on-field instruction focuses on techniques that will make campers better players. No matter the camper's skill level, the staff takes time to work with them 1-on-1 on a regular basis. Every lacrosse player between 7 and 12 in the region should be attending this camp.
  • Coach Pilat and the staff provide top quality instruction to camp participants. Their focus on improving basic skills, refining techniques, and applying to game situation creates a better lacrosse player.
  • Just a quick note to let you know how much my son enjoyed your camp this week at Roanoke College. Having played lacrosse for less than a year, he learned a great deal and made some friends as well. Again, thanks for giving him a great experience and deepening his love for this sport!
  • My son learned new skills and facts about lax that he didn't know from playing with his rec team in Lexington. He liked that they had the opportunity to do scrimmages. He enjoyed the raffles at the end of the day each day of camp
  • I just wanted to thank you for the absolutely wonderful experience my son had at camp. He is so pumped about his high school tryout. You helped him tremendously. My husband and I were very impressed with your camp and the way that it was run. We also want to tell you that your assistant coaches were so wonderful to the boys. Our son has NOT stopped talking about how much he learned and what fun it was to meet such nice guys. We even took him to see some of the colleges where your staff member played lacrosse. We just wanted to let you know how glad we were to have sent our son to your camp. You will definitely see him again. Thanks again for all of your efforts.

  • My child learning from skilled and experienced college players and coaches. That is something that we do not get much of at the local rec level.
  • Food was healthy and the coaches promoted good nutrition.

  • My son had a great experience at camp and really wants to go back again next Summer. Thanks for everything that you have done - I have never seen him be so excited about working hard and he loved the camp.
  • My son enjoyed all the coaches, he learned a lot. Each day he came home and immediately got on the re-bounder and then showed me checks, defensive moves, etc. that he had learned. The cafeteria and locker room were highlights too!
