Michael S. Robinson Both of us agree that our 12-year-old son has really improved his lacrosse skills. My son said he loved competitive nature of the camp and his favorite part of camp was scrimmaging with the coaches
Joseph Stone. -Camper I had a great summer because of GameBreaker Lacrosse. I have been to a few others before, but this camp was by far the best! I had such a great time. The coaches were amazing and the other guys I met were super cool.
Justin Volk. -Camper It was a cool experience to have an MLL All-Star as a coach. I really hope I am able to come back next year
