Renewed love for the sport!
July 15, 2019: My son walked into camp with low motivation and somewhat of a burned out attitude regarding lacrosse. He came out of camp with renewed confidence in himself and his skills PLUS a renewed love for the sport! Not only were the camp coaches amazing and encouraging, his fellow campers were as well. What an incredible experience - he is already talking about going back next summer!

Best week ever!
July 2, 2019: He said it was the best week ever! He learned new skills and tweaked previous ones. He was thrilled to be moved up to an older age group and receive more of a challenge. He thought the coaches were amazing. He already asked to go back next year!

No complaints!
June 30, 2017: No complaints. Check in was organized and easy. My son felt safe and had fun. He returned a more confident player than when he arrived and, for him, that's something he can really use. He really enjoyed the "fastest shot", "trick shot", "most accurate shot" competitions. He also liked playing vs. the girls as well as the "nukem" game. Very grateful for this experience and the staff that made it possible. My son had already asked about next year...
— Bill M. Parent

Learned so much!

I learned a lot!
June 27, 2016: Xcelerate LAX camp is a great experience - lots of opportunities to improve my skills while having fun with a diverse group of players. The instructors provided a challenging environment - I learned a lot!
— Tyrek J. Camper

One of the best!
June 26, 2016: My 14 year old son had a fantastic time at this camp. He has been to many other lacrosse camps but he ranks this as one of the best. He participated in the pre-clinic that was offered for LSM's on check-in day. Having a MLL LSM was extremely important to him and he took away so much from that specialized instruction. We will be returning again next summer! Thanks for a great experience for our son!
— Vern L. Parent

Until then Xcelerate!
July 2, 2015: It's a great time to be away from home with your lax brothers! I really liked being in the dorms and meeting some cool people. I already asked my mom if I can go next year, and she said yes! Until then Xcelerate!
— Josh K. Camper

See you next year!
June 27, 2015: Just wanted you all to know that Austin had a great time! He was really impressed with the coaches and learned a lot. Thanks for taking the time to spend with these kids. See you next year!
— Brianna H. Parent

Great Camp!
June 25, 2015: Tyler told us it was the best camp yet for Lacrosse and to my delight he actually admitted that he got a lot out of it, not bad for a kid that is already a competent Lacrosse player and a senior starting attack. We will see you next year!
— Brian K. Parent
-
Great Investment!
June 22, 2015: Your staff truly inspired an abiding love of the sport. My son is a soccer player and a golfer but even though it's not lax season he gets his stick out and throws at least twice a week. Xcelerate really lit the fire. A great investment!
— Brian P. Parent

Thank You!
June 22, 2015: Jack said he had the "best time I’ve ever had in my whole life" at your camp----so thank you!!! We’ll definitely have him attend a couple of sessions next year. It was awesome for him in so many ways!!!
