Camps are an essential part of off-season (mostly summer) lacrosse. They help you keep your skills sharp, and you also usually learn a lot of new and useful tips to help you in the next season. Some camps are for recruiting, some are for skill development. Some are inclusive, some are very exclusive and are only accessible through coach recommendation and/or tryout.
Some highly exclusive camps include Jake Reed's Blue Chip camp, and the California Gold Invitational. These two camps allow for incredible college exposure and great competition.
Individual college camps are great too. They allow for the campgoers to be taught by the players and coaches from the college that they are attending the camp at, and also let them talk to the coaches about what it takes to get into their school. I personally will be attending the lacrosse camp at Johns Hopkins this year because I love the program, and I attended the Denver University camp last year. These kinds of camps are a huge opportunity to allow for a camper to check out the campus of a college they might want to attend, and check out their competition as well.
Showcase tournaments such as the Adrenaline High Rollers and the All West Showcase are sometimes by invitation or recommendation only, and can be for individual players or whole teams. These showcases allow for college exposure, team bonding, and great competition as well.
Well, I hope this post contained some useful info to all those aspiring to become better lacrosse players this summer.
HAPPY LAXIN!
