FAQ

Lacrosse Camps

  • What skill level is required to attend lacrosse camp?

    We have junior lacrosse campers who come from varying skill levels ranging from those who are new to lacrosse, to those who are being actively recruited by collegiate programs. Our focus in youth lacrosse camp is skill development relevant to each individual. Participants are grouped by age, skill and position, but most importantly put in an environment that is optimal to their individual learning and development.

  • Which camp program is the best for me?

    It varies on what you want out of your camp experience. Our programs are progressively intensive in training from our Core Program which is our foundational program to Breakthrough which is the most personalized and intensive training option. Select any of our training concentrations to customize your camp program. Contact us through the red "Connect with us" window on this page, and we can help you select the best program.

  • Will there be college coaches at camp recruiting players?

    Our camps are not geared towards college exposure/recruiting. They are highly emphasized on skill development to better your game, putting you in a greater position to be attracted by college programs.
