Couldn't Have Been Better!
This was my son’s first overnight camp experience and it couldn’t have been better. He had a wonderful time and met a lot of new kids. He mentioned that he liked how the coaches taught them both lacrosse and life skills too.

The best camp!
I've been to Nike Xcelerate Lacrosse Camp at Emory University for 2 years in a row. If your a beginner who needs to learn the skills, or an intermediate/advanced player who needs to touch up on their skills, this is the best camp for you. The coaching staff teach us the Brotherhood of lacrosse in a non-competitive setting. Even though I've been playing lacrosse for three years, I always learn new skills at camp and how to play various positions.

Truly helped!
The camp truly helped me become a better lacrosse player. The coaches spent a lot of time getting us to understand the techniques and strategies of the game. Sharpening these skills against other quality players makes this camp one of the best.

Great experience!
My son said the high point for him was the evening discussions between the players and the coaches. He said he enjoyed it because the coaches took time to get to know the players and their needs and the players got to know one another. He said he also got some good field tips as well. He said he enjoyed it overall better than last year...thank you for making that happen!
