He has had a prolific college career, a career with the US National team winning Gold in China, and finally many years of international professional experience.  He knows the game at the highest level, and trains athletes at a superior level as well.
Lloy does an amazing job teaching the game, challenging athletes, and creating opportunities to advance players.  This residential team camp will be all encompassing, providing teams with skill development in the morning session, game play and strategy in the afternoon/evening sessions, and mental training and team building sessions in the evenings.
This camp is an ideal camp for teams, but individual campers are welcomes as well.
