Staff

We direct every camp to ensure each camper has the best lacrosse experience possible. Instead of simply telling players how to execute specific lacrosse skills, our approach is to show campers through full contact, live staff demos. We have coached at every level of the game - college, high school and youth club - and take pride in teaching players of every age and ability. Likewise, our staff is comprised of some of the biggest names and best people in the sport, we are proud to say they are part of the Golden State Lacrosse family!

Testimonials

Parent
"I wanted to pass along that both Eric and Wade, tired as they have been after every day of camp this week, have nothing but good things to say about your camp. That is a huge compliment coming from these two players with 5 and 6 years of club + high school lacrosse. They say the coaching is outstanding, and even though they are sore, they are up and ready for the next day. "
  - C. Van Norden, San Jose, CA

 Coach
"Chris and Eric get it. This is a thinking mans game to be played with passion and controlled aggression. Their model is what camps should be...up tempo and stressing the fundamentals without sacrificing fun."
  - Joe Thompson, U of Virginia Asst Coach

 Player
"Experiencing Chris and Eric's camps, it is clear that they know the game of lacrosse and can successfully teach it to others. What impressed me the most and separated their camp from others was their caring attitudes for the kids and genuine interest in developing their campers skills"
  - Brian McDermott, U of Virginia Midfielder
