PrimeTime 2010 Summer Lacrosse Camps

With the 2010 Summer Lacrosse camp season right around the corner, we thought now would be a great time to share some of the comments our participants and their families have sent us over the past twelve months. Each and everyone of the lacrosse players who come through our programs are tremendously important to us, and it means so much when we receive the kind of responses that you see below. We look forward to seeing everyone back in 2010!

“The personalized training that my son, Kevin receives at PrimeTime lacrosse is second to none. I have two older sons who played Division 1 lacrosse and I wish that this type of training had been available for them. Tyler and Jason do a great job keeping the kids focused and learning while mixing in fun.” ‐‐ Scott Crowley, Wrentham, MA

“PrimeTime Lacrosse Camp is amazing, the best camp I have ever been to in my life. If I could only pick one camp to go to in the summer, I would choose PrimeTime over any other! I have learned many new skills and met tons of new friends.” – Keaton, 12, Guilford, NH

“Tyler, quick note to just let you know how much Chris is enjoying his time at Prime Time Lacrosse. Of all the organized sports he plays, the level of instruction & professionalism at PrimeTime Lacrosse is far and away the best. Appreciate the great effort you guys put in.” ‐‐ Jack, Wellesley, MA

“Dear Tyler ‐ I just wanted to tell you how wonderful and warm you and your staff have been to our son. He is not a boy that is very confident athletically. We found Prime Time Lacrosse to be very encouraging and supportive. Your program is one of the only sports programs that he truly looks forward to. Prime Time seems to be successful at handling a wide variety of skill levels. It is also clear to us that you take an interest in all the boys as individuals. He has had a great experience at Prime Time and looks forward to returning. We have and will continue to recommend Prime Time Lacrosse to other parents. Thank you for being such a great influence on him.” – Susan, Wellesley, MA

“At PrimeTime Lacrosse, the camps and clinics have enabled my son to learn and apply the crucial fundamentals of the game and gain an understanding of what it takes to bring his game to the next competitive level. PrimeTime offers that unique balance of competition and fun that is so hard to come by in youth sports.” –Beth, Cohasset, MA

“My son Daniel has become the ‘Danimal’ at Primetime Lacrosse, learning the skills needed to play competitive lacrosse. Most of all he is having fun, building his self‐esteem and making friendships that will last a lifetime.” ‐‐ Bruce Rosenbaum, Sharon MA

“We have been impressed by the high quality of lacrosse coaching offered by the PrimeTime Lacrosse organization. The constant focus on teaching skills as well as strategies of the game has yielded clear results for our son. The coaching staff is experienced and offers individual attention. The programs offered are well thought out, organized, challenging and yet fun. We look forward to a rewarding 2010 season with the Penguins.” ‐‐ Patrick and Linda Godfrey, Dover, MA

“Prime Time Lacrosse is a great program! My son has attended two summer camps and skill sessions on the off seasons. I believe the Prime Time Program offer players the next level of lacrosse and is a wonderful transition for the youth program to high school play. Overall, he had an exceptional lacrosse experience!” – Tina, Walpole, MA

"PrimeTime Lacrosse is absolutely terrific! My son has been attending the small group sessions for months. He's growing with the sport continuously. By attending the sessions twice a week, he's developed a great rapport with the coaches. This in turn has given him more confidence in himself as a player. He looks forward to each weekly session.” – Karen, Medfield, MA

"My sons, ages 13 and 10 have participated in the PrimeTime Lacrosse camp for 3 years running. Their whole experience at the camp was fabulous. The boys made friends with many of the boys that have also returned to the camp year after year. Their skill level was greatly improved after all the time spent with the experienced counselors and coaches. My oldest son has even been selected for their PrimeTime Lacrosse Select Team. This accomplishment would not have been possible without the wonderful direction, guidance and coaching that he received at PrimeTime. The time that is spent encouraging the boys and having fun while learning about the game has truly shaped my two sons into solid players with a great love of the game. We look forward to another great summer with PrimeTime. Thanks for all you do." -- Michele, Cohasset, MA

"PrimeTime was a great week for Brendon. His first experience with both overnight camp and Lacrosse. He made new friends, learned the basics of lacrosse and took some risks. Now I am constantly asking him to please put down his lacrosse stick as he walks through the house cradling, whether it is with his “d-pole” or his “swizzle”. And from the minute he camp home from camp, he has been talking about going again this year and who will be his roommates."
-- Deborah, Natick, MA

"Jason and Tyler, Over the past three years, my son has participated in several camps, leagues and off-season training sessions offered by Primetime Lacrosse, and I truly cannot say enough good things about you and your staff. You have an amazing ability to motivate and inspire the kids you work with. You have taught Aaron to understand and enjoy the game of lacrosse; you have pushed him to work hard and improve his skills; and, you have been encouraging and supportive every step of the way. He has improved both as a player and a teammate as a result of his time spent in the Primetime program. He is eagerly looking forward to the upcoming lacrosse season, and I credit you both for giving him the confidence needed to hit the field, play hard, and have fun doing it! Thank you!" -- Karen Edelstein, Newton, MA

"As a parent, it is important to me that a lacrosse program is well rounded, it is about advancing your game, mastering the fundamentals, improving your skills, hard work, sportsmanship and all around fun. Not only does PrimeTime Lacrosse offer an opportunity for athletes to take their game to the next level but they hold the kids accountable for their own success and improvement. With every session I see not only skill development but personal development in my son. The level of professionalism has been a bonus - my son leaves every session, exhausted and excited and he can't wait to return for more. Nothing better than an opportunity to keep a stick in your child's hands all year long." -- Robin Wadsworth, Newton, MA

"I have enjoyed working out with the PrimeTime Lacrosse crew mostly because I get a lot of one on one time. They also push me to my limits, focus me on getting the fundamentals right first and they make hard work a lot of fun" -- Kyle Hubner, 7th Grade, Newton, MA

"At Prime Time Lacrosse, The Coaches are Great! They work on skills to bring your game to the next level, while at the same time making it a fun experience." -- Patricia, Wayland, MA

"...since my first experience with PrimeTime Lacrosse, I have been very impressed with their philosophy and dedication to individual player development, not only as athletes but as good role models, by teaching the fundamentals and skills of lacrosse, through high quality coaching with a continuing emphasis on team play and sportsmanship..." -- Chris, Medfield, MA
