Day Camp Price - $395 (includes lunch)
Open to Rising 4th Graders to Rising 9th Graders!

About This Camp: By playing at one of the highest levels of competition, and learning from many of the best coaches in lacrosse, Anthony Crimmins has developed his own method for the instruction of lacrosse and lacrosse fundamentals. Although many people stress the fundamentals they do not often time put forth the effort to ensure their complete development. At this camp players will be taught the fundamentals, and through attention to detail and constant repitition these players will learn these skills. Often times camps try to teach a player everything, with the players taking one or two things from the camp. We are looking to narrow the scope so that when the players leave the camp, they have a working knowledge of everything that we have covered.

Director: The camp director is Stickstar Owner, Anthony Crimmins. Anthony Crimmins is a full time lacrosse coach. He is involved in coaching at many different levels and areas. He is the Owner / Chief Operator of his own Private Instruction Business. He is also the Head Coach of his Select Summer Teams which will be in their 6th season, this summer. He has worked at many camps under great College coaches including the Notre Dame Camp (under Coach Korrigan) and the Texas Lacrosse Camp for multiple years under Steve Beville.

Camp Sponsor:  This camp is sponsored by StickStar Lacrosse!  Stickstar is the premier private and group lesson company in the Dallas area.
