  • Nick really enjoyed your camp. He has been to other camps (UW LAX Camp) and did not learn the skills or have the instructions that your camp provided for him. His skill has improved and he is a more confident goalie today because of it. Thank you so MUCH!!!
  • Getting together with kids my son plays against at the club and elite level is great. Building the lacrosse community, and sharing skills from a lot of different teaching/coaching persepectives, is wonderful to see.
  • The camp had great coaches and coaching, very well organized!
  • Dylan loved the camp and was really impressed with how patient and encouraging the coaches were. He came home everyday describing a new drill or game he could play. We are very pleased with his experience and learning!
  • I want to thank you and the coaches for doing such a great job. John has really enjoyed Xcelerate. I couldn’t have asked for a better group of coaches for John; they were positive and very motivating and helped John improve his lacrosse skills. He now loves going to practices and spending more time playing lacrosse. Thanks for everything.
  • I want to thank you again for all that Xcelerate has done this summer. Our son has really thrived in the atmosphere of professional coaching and play that you have offered. His quality of play and skill level has increased and he now feels more confident and qualified on the playing field.
  • Your camp was fantastic! The skill level of the coaches and personal attention was very helpful. The days were full and intense!
  • My son raved about the excellent instruction and how impressed he was with all the coaches and instructors. He really felt that his game greatly improved and he feels a lot better about his face offs. Thanks and see you again next summer!
  • My son had a great experience once again at camp. He had a great repore with his primary coach and felt like he was supported and encouraged by all staff. At one point during the camp, I needed to get a message to our son and I was able to call the Director directly and he was very friendly and helpful. Both years our son has attended I feel like he was in safe hands and with great people. Thank you for this experience.
