Edward Cox. -Camper I loved the shooting drills the coaches put us through and it was cool attending camp with my teammates from home.
James McCormick It was pretty cool to be able to compete with other players from across the state. It really brought out my competitive spirit and helped me get better!
Louis Begley. -Camper I think I really improved my passing and my general IQ of the game. I feel that I understand the game better now and can\'t wait to play for my team back home.
