Camp Mission:

This camp is designed for the experienced young player who aspires to play lacrosse at increasingly more competitive levels. Just as the New England Select Lacrosse League has provided an avenue for the region’s top players to grow and improve through competitive play, the NESLL Girls Summer Camp seeks to provide a high intensity focused camp experience. Here, top young players will learn from some of the region’s most experienced coaches and collegiate players.

The Camp curriculum reinforces the fundamentals of the game while exposing campers to the “next level” of both team concepts and individual skills. By combining drills, demonstrations and games, campers are ensured the opportunity to get better and to have fun.

Enrollment is open to all players with intermediate - advanced skills. Enrollment is limited and registration is taken on a first come basis without exception.

Being Together:

The experience of being away from home – even for a few days, can be a new and potentially daunting experience for a youngster. Our camp staff includes many boarding school coaches and college players who are boarding school grads. As such, we are fully committed to providing a safe, structured residential experience. Our staff values the relationships they build with young players and enjoys the experience of passing along their expertise and advice.

Campers are housed in the Groton dorms 2 or 3 to a room. Camp staff also room in the dorms with the girls. As part of our commitment to a quality camp experience, we hire a Camp Residential Director. This person has no on field coaching commitments, and seeks to ensure that campers are safe, happy, well fed, and rested.

There will be a trainer on hand to ensure that campers have the best available on and off field sports medical care. All campers must submit appropriate medical records prior to camp. Groton provides on-site 24 hour security.

The Camp curriculum reinforces the fundamentals of the game while exposing campers to the “next level” of both team concepts and individual skills.
