Lacrosse Camps Virginia @ Episcopal High School
Millon Lacrosse will be hosting our 2019 Virginia camp at the prestigious Episcopal School in Alexandria, VA. Episcopal is one of the finest boarding schools in the nation. The beautiful 120-acre campus is home to 8 amazing athletic fields, 8 dormitories and a phenomenal dining facility. Founded in 1994 by former MLL MVP and two-time Team USA member Mark Millon, Millon Lacrosse stands for instruction, period. With over 28,000 athletes coming through our camps we have a wealth of experience and understand how to be safe, organized, and, more than anything, develop the young lacrosse athlete. The camp instructional business is a challenging space and you can’t last over 25 years without doing it right. Please give us a call, we would be happy to share more details on what separates us from the rest. Super Skills Clinic available at this camp!
Curriculum
After 25 years, our curriculum has been proven and refined many times. It is set for all ages and all positions. During the early part of the week we do a large amount of individual skill building and as the week moves on we play games for one reason…to reinforce what was learned during our skill sessions.
