WHAT FAMILIES SAY ABOUT Xcelerate Nike Girls Lacrosse Camp at Carroll University
15 Reviews
My daughter absolutely loved the knowledgeable coaches that helped with her skills training and everyone was so pleasant to be around. She loved everything about this camp and the coaching staff!
The sessions in the morning were perfect for the kids to improve their skills for the afternoon scrimmages. It was a high quality camp run by extremely knowledgeable coaches.
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.
