NOTE: High school players brand new to lacrosse may be best served by attending 2 or 3 sessions of Level 1 training and then switching to Level 2 when they are ready. We find that high school players pick up the basic fundamentals quicker then younger players and therefore may not need the entire Level 1 clinic.
Starter sticks can be purchased in our online store or at the camp for $50. Our sticks are preconfigured by our trained staff to ensure success. ONLINE STORE

>>>>>>PRIVATE INSTRUCTION:<<<<<<

"Coach Pete,Mitchell, Benny, and I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the private lacrosse lessons you provided to Benny this summer before the summer league began. You were technically proficient, enthusiastic, thorough, punctual, responsible, kind, and very patient. Your energy and passion for the game certainly rubbed off on Benny. He learned so much through your instruction and after taking the lessons, and playing the Summer League, never wants to put his lacrosse stick down!! You are a model instructor and coach and we hope that Benny has the opportunity to learn more from you as he continues to enjoy the sport in the coming season and in the years ahead. Again, thank you for your spirit, your sportsmanship, and your help!"
Warm regards,
Judi, Mitchell, and Benny (7th grader)

"Coach Pete and the Davie lacrosse league is the reason my son now eats, drinks and sleeps lacrosse! My son loves the sport and we have met many great parents and coaches that have not only helped him become a better player but person as well...many thanks."
Madeleine (mom of 7th grader)

"Coach Pete, I want to thank you for the terrific private lessons you gave my son Gabriel. We signed up because Gabriel thought he might be interested in playing Lacrosse but knew absolutely nothing about the game. With your help, it was thrilling to watch how quickly he learned the basics, as well as how his excitement about the game grew after each lesson. By the time he played in the summer league it was apparent how much the lessons had helped. Gabriel now loves the game of Lacrosse and is looking forward to playing every chance he gets. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion for the sport with my son."
Ellen (mom of 7th grader)
