Highly Recommend!
August 6, 2019: The camp had excellent drills for the children to grow as top level Lacrosse players. Coach Hodge and his team did an excellent job explaining the finer details of body mechanics of a movement and helped my daughter with the “why” something has to be done. We have done many other bigger camps but this one by far is the best lacrosse camp we have attended. In addition, the break up of the children in different teams to scrimmage every evening helped them out in action the skills they developed. All the kids bonded and helped each other grow. I would highly recommend this camp and we look forward to attending next year.
