Instruction and Staff
Boys Camp
Dan Lawrence, associate head coach at Maritime College (SUNY) will be the boys’ summer camp director. The boys' staff will also include, but is not limited to: Andrew Fink, head coach at Mt Ida College; Casey D'Annolfo, head coach at Taft; plus other college, prep school, and high school coaches as well as a few select college players to be named very soon.

Girls Camp
Michelle Mason has been named the girl’s summer camp director for World Class Lacrosse. Michelle is in her second year as the head coach at Iona College. She was the former head coach at Keene State. Michelle brings a wealth of knowledge, leadership and maturity to camp. She possesses great energy, passion, and an attitude for teaching, which is the core goal of our camps.

As head coach, Mason led the Owls (Keene State) to two consecutive winning seasons including a 13-8 mark in 2008. She was 21-14 in her two seasons, the highest winning percentage of the program's five head coaches. In 2005, Mason served as an assistant coach before taking over the program. As a player, Mason had no rivals as a record-breaking attacker for the Owls. A three-time All-LEC all-star, the Fairport, New York, native established Keene State career goal (202), assists (82), and point (284) records. She also rewrote the Keene State women's soccer record book during her four seasons as the Owls' starting goalie. Mason holds a Keene State women's soccer record for most wins (66) and saves (437) in a career. The Fairport, NY native led KSC to a pair of NCAA women's soccer tournament berths and was a four-time All-LEC and three-time All-New England honoree.

World Class Lacrosse has a great curriculum for the girls, regardless of their level of play. The girls’ staff will provide a safe, and fun learning environment learning for all those in attendance. The girls' staff will include college, prep school, and high school coaches as well as a few select college players.

Instruction
Our ratio of campers to staff is 7:1 which creates a wonderful teaching environment. There will be individual/group instruction as well as theory and team play. We will have on-going team and individual competitions throughout the sessions. All campers will receive a detailed written evaluation of their skill level and what they need to do to constantly improve their game. At our closing ceremonies we will announce some special awards, as well as the players named to the WCL All-Star Team.

Our Exclusive "15 minutes of FAME™"
