Lacrosse Director, Shannon O'Neil

Shannon O’Neil joins the IMG Academy lacrosse program with 15+ years of experience leading young women to success on and off the lacrosse field at the high school and collegiate levels. A native of Newburgh, NY, Shannon attended Villanova University as a four-year starter. During her time on the Main Line, she became a two-time Mid-Atlantic Region All-American and team captain. She was invited to participate in the North/South Senior All-Star Game after her senior season. O’Neil is still second in Villanova’s all-time women’s lacrosse record book for total career points, assists, and ground balls.

Following graduation, O’Neil was named the first women’s lacrosse head coach at Division II Saint Anselm College in Manchester. After establishing that program as a conference contender, she returned to the Main Line to become the head coach at Villanova from 2000-2006. During her tenure, the Wildcats made multiple trips to postseason play for the Patriot League, and she was named Patriot League Coach of the Year.

For the past four years, O’Neil has served as the Girls National Head Coach at IMG Academy, playing a pivotal role in the program’s growth and success. She has now been promoted to Lacrosse Director, where she will continue to build upon IMG Academy’s reputation for developing top-tier student-athletes and preparing them for the next level.

Unforgettable experiences outside of sport

To maximize the IMG Academy experience, we recommend that campers choose the boarding option and stay in a campus residence hall. Campers can make a roommate request, upgrade to a private room or get assigned a roommate. Roommate assignments are made by gender, then age similarities, then same sport participation when possible.

All campers also have the chance to unwind and hang out between camp programming sessions. The rec area between the residence halls includes a resort-style pool (with lifeguard), sand volleyball court, basketball courts, turf sport court, table tennis, and more. Other activities are planned, including movie nights on the pool jumbotron, pool parties and Campus Center activities.

All boarding campers can access breakfast, lunch and dinner at The Servery, a buffet-style eatery. Other options for extra fees not included in their meal plan include Whalburgers, Big Chicken, a cafe, food trucks and snacks in the campus store.

Our commitment to your health & safety

The health and safety of campers is our highest priority. Each residence hall has residential mentors, supervision and curfews to ensure campers feel safe and supported. We also have campus security, including gated entries, on campus 24/7.

We partner with the renowned Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital (JHACH) to deliver health services on campus. Also open 24/7, JHACH provides on-site nurses to address any health issue that arises. Health services can also distribute prescription medication, schedule on-campus appointments and provide transportation to off-campus medical appointments.

Off-campus Excursions

With your camp experience, there are opportunities to take advantage of some of our chaperoned, off-campus excursions. Some of our options could include local area attractions such as Pop Stroke Mini Golf as well as long distance excursions to Busch Gardens, Disney's Magic Kingdom, or even a Tampa Bay Rays game. These trips are an exciting way for your camper to engage with others outside of training in addition to the on-campus options that are also available.

Your Customer Support Specialist will connect with you after you reserve your camper’s spot to review options but if you have any questions, please feel free to connect with our Customer Support Team at [email protected] or call (941) 749-8660.

*subject to availability based on the time of the year. These trips are also first come, first serve.

★★★★★
The IMG Academy summer camp is amazing! I had five of my children trained there this summer ranging from ages 9 to 15. The soccer staff was very well-versed in the sport and provided excellent group and individual training. The facilities were super nice and there’s a lot of fun things for the athletes to do. My kids loved playing basketball, volleyball and swimming. The food was also amazing! IMG Academy takes safety very seriously and they clear the campus very quickly if they see lightning. My kids made lots of friends there, developed their skills in a very short time, and made lasting memories. We can’t wait to go back!! Highly recommended!!
-Google, 5 stars
★★★★★
We sent our oldest for 3 weeks. He had an absolute blast. He met kids from all over the country in different sports. He had incredible coaching. He came back super motivated and confident. The staff had the right combination of direction and fun for teenagers. It is expensive but worth it in our opinion. We will be sending him back next summer and will consider full time school there as well.
-Google, 5 stars
★★★★★
Sent my son away for the first time and was so impressed by the communication, enthusiasm and support from the entire lacrosse staff. Would recommend to anyone and am so appreciative of the experience that we have had!
-Google, 5 stars
★★★★
Not only does IMG Academy have a beautiful campus and top-notch facilities, but what really makes IMG Academy a special place are its people. From the teachers to the coaches to the campus life mentors, we know our son is learning, growing and becoming the best version of himself. I have always heard it takes a village to raise teenagers into responsible adults, and we believe our son has had the best village possible.
-Internal, 4 stars
★★★★★
My child [son] had the time of his life. He didn’t even want to come back home lol. [He] openly expressed how he feels like he belongs at IMG Academy, how he loved the training and new friends he has met and still keep in touch with. [He] would love to attend IMG Academy as a full time student and is looking forward to attending more camps.
