From Womems High School Teams:
"The trips we have taken to Hilton Head have been an excellent team experience. The service from the camp staff was outstanding, the rooms were awesome, the whole week ran smoothly and we felt that the island was a safe place to bring a high school team. We got lots accomplished on the field and had a great time besides- there are lots of things to do on the island."
Ed Wilson, Laurel School
"We love it! We like having the kids housed so close to us and the housing and food are awesome."
Wendy Kridel, Bryn Mawr HS, Head Coach US Under 19 Team
"Our Hilton Head trip was a great jump start for our season. It was a unique combination of vacation and lacrosse training. The accommodations were the best of any camp we have attended and it was nice to be able to come back to such comfortable, pleasant surroundings after practice or games. We went on to have one of our most successful seasons ever."
Susan Merritt, National Cathedral School
"We first came down for a Hilton Head Lacrosse week in 2008. When we planned this year to make another team trip, it was a no-brainer where we wanted to go. So we came down to Hilton Head for a second time. Once again, the team had a wonderful time while getting lots of lacrosse and lots of fun under the sun. The accommodations at the villas were outstanding. We are recommending this trip to other high schools in our area."
Lary Megale, Westfield HS Girls' Coach (VA)
"I asked the girls to say whether they want to return to Hilton head next spring's trip. Of the 21 girls on the team that received the ballot, 20 said 'YES' in capital letters and the 1 that said 'no' explained that next year she will not be able to attend the spring break trip and she doesn't want her team to go to Hilton Head without her!"
Jim Rinere, Girls Lacrosse Coach, Choate (CT)
Some of the actual comments from the girls were as follows:
"The Hilton Head trip was the best pre-season trip that I have had in my 4 years at Choate, in any sport."
"I loved Hilton Head, the Lacrosse was fun, but I really loved riding our bikes all over Sea Pines and on the Beach"
"The bike ride to dinner at Truffles was so much fun - I want to do it again and again and again"
"After playing Lacrosse and walking down to the beach on our first day, I thought that we were in heaven"
"Alligators, Lacrosse, Shopping at Coligny Plaza, Lax practice overlooking the water, swimming in the ocean, running sprints up the Harbortown Lighthouse - are you kidding? I'm going back!"
"The fields are close to Sea Pines, there wasn't a lot of driving and hectic planning to get to practice and games, and then we got to lay on the beach after a long day of playing lax - it was soooo fun"
"I've been to Disney and to West Palm Beach, this trip was better than those two combined - there is so much more to do as a team- bike rides, shopping, and just hanging at Harbor Town"
"Hilton Head is awesome - my family has booked a summer vacation for this year because they have never been there and I want them all to see it"
Choate Girls Lacrosse team members
"Taking my team to HH has made all the difference for our program! In 2010 it started our run to our first ever League Championship and best overall record ever 16-3! It is in a beautiful setting...great villas...and great people! The Weiss's and McCoy's are lax enthusiasts and really make you feel welcome. Our team loves its time here. It is always about "lacrosse" yet not just about "lacrosse". The team loves living together, biking together, and practicing together! The island is awesome, we can bike as a group and do so many things that make a team a team. I am returning for our 10th trip... I feel that as a coach I want time with the team as the first priority...and that is what they offer us year in and year out! We love it! Try it you won't regret it!"
