Reviews & Testimonials

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...
-
Great experience!
June 29, 2016: Great experience for my son! He came home with all positive comments! He loved being challenged with the older kids. Learned something new everyday!

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!
-
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!

See you next year!

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!
