Testimonials:

“As a follow-up to the recent Southern Lacrosse Camp, the kids from our school that attended said it was an enjoyable experience, they were especially bragging about the food! (Go figure). My son told me he had a blast and was “pumped’ about winning the shooting contest.” -A father from Georgia

“My son learned a lot at your camp and is still talking about it. He looks forward to returning next summer!”

-A father from Alabama

“Coach-

I just wanted to take another opportunity and tell you how much I appreciate the time that you and your staff invested in the Southern Boys program.  The members of this team were given an invaluable gift by you and the other coaches, and I am sure that these boys will appreciate this fact even more in the years to come.  In addition to the personal instruction, you have reinforced for these boys the life lesson of “giving back” to their community.  As the single parent of a young black man who strives to surround him with positive male role models, I will be forever indebted to you and your staff for the contribution that have made to my son’s development.”
