How are Lacrosse Masters Camps™ different from others?Lacrosse Masters Camps exclusively collaborate with coaches representing the nation’s most esteemed academic institutions. These camps offer a unique platform for coaches to assess players in a comprehensive manner, delving beyond mere athletic prowess. They provide a forum for evaluating character, athleticism, intelligence, communication skills, and overall attitude. By observing players in both skill drills and game scenarios, coaches obtain genuine insights, distinct from those garnered solely through tournament play. Unlike tournaments where exposure to coaches is fleeting, these camps afford players extended exposure, allowing for more thorough evaluations. Typically, coaches attend tournaments with predefined lists of players to scout, often only observing partial games before moving on to the next. Moreover, Lacrosse Masters Camps afford players the opportunity to assess coaches. Prospective student-athletes usually begin with a preferred school in mind. However, they must assess whether the coach's approach, team dynamics, and overall culture align with their personal preferences and goals, given the substantial commitment of four years ahead.

Do the coaches recruit at your camps?Coaches are always looking to recruit the best possible student athletes that align with their specific team strategy and vision. Camps are another “touch point” in the recruiting process. Coaches are always recruiting whether they attend a tournament or a camp. A tournament can only provide a coach one aspect of a player’s game. The camp can help a coach define character, skillset across multiple sessions, personality, and other intangibles. A good lacrosse player alone does not necessarily meet a coach’s needs. There are many good lacrosse players. Coaches are looking for the “right” players that align with specific team values. High academics are extremely important for the schools involved with our camps. For a list of commits, go to www.LacrosseMasters.com and click the Commits tab.
