Lacrosse Camps Virginia
Lacrosse Camps Virginia @ Episcopal School
Founded in 1994 by former MLL MVP and two-time Team USA member Mark Millon, Millon Lacrosse stands for instruction, period. With over 30,000 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.
For 2021, with the likelihood of some ongoing issues from the pandemic, Millon lacrosse is going to operate a slightly different model. We will run shorter, condensed two-day clinics with a huge focus on technique, fundamentals, and player development in a condensed format. This will allow for maximal health and safety while allowing young players to continue to focus on the key building block skills that allow for continued growth. This model will also be very efficient for club players who want to attend without missing their team’s games or practices.
Curriculum
After more than 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.
