Experience is the best teacher…

Current college athletes, coaches, and officials design curricula and teach according to their respective positions. Our camps provide knowledge to both new and experienced players. Coaches emphasize gamesmanship significantly — our approach has been honed over the years, with player development as the paramount principle.

Our community features former campers that return as coaches and counselors. Our athletes have played professionally and at elite universities.
Our seasoned coaches work with local universities and high school programs. We are prepared to help athletes build confidence between training, practices, and game situations.
Referees and officials have the best seats in the game!
Our brand is unique because we include the knowledge and experience of what referees see on the field.
Understanding the rules of lacrosse can take your game to the next level
