Coach Spotlight
Tom Marechek - Director
Tom was a four time NCAA All American at Syracuse University. After college, Tom played 12 years for the professional indoor team, the Philadelphia Wings who retired his number in 2006. He was inducted into the National Lacrosse League Hall of Fame in 2007, US National Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 2008 and the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 2012.
What Our Campers Say
The facilities at IMG are even better to experience in person. Traveling away from Maine for the first time, I felt comfortable at IMG and really advanced my game.
Coming from the New England area, I couldn't believe how much I learned at IMG. It opened my eyes to how much competition there is in other parts of the country.
I was nervous about what to expect coming from Canada, but the experience and reward of camp at IMG crushes any doubt you may have beforehand.
