1. Why should I attend Amonte Sports Lacrosse Camp?
Kelly Amonte Hiller, one of the top lacrosse players in the world, developed what has become the premiere teaching camp for lacrosse players of all ages. Kelly's success as a player and coach is achieved through her commitment, hard work, innovation, and positive approach to the sport of lacrosse. Kelly developed Amonte Sports to provide young people with an opportunity to learn these principles from coaches/players who they respect and admire.

As a college coach she is known for her ability to develop good athletes into great lacrosse players through the teaching of skills/basics with her positive philosophy.

Each year Kelly and the Amonte Sports staff teach campers and future stars the skills to become top players at the collegiate level and beyond. Unlike other camps, Kelly prides herself on being highly involved with the teaching at camp. She develops all camp lesson plans and makes a concerted effort to get to know each and every camper. She has and will continue to discover many future stars at camp.

In addition to Kelly's involvement with the camps, each year she hires a qualified staff that includes: Northwestern players, current college players from other schools, US team members, former All-Americans and current College coaches.

Kelly's goal at Amonte Sports is to have each individual involved in an Amonte Sports camp or event, leave with a greater love for the sport of lacrosse and more confidence in her ability.

3. Are Amonte Sports lacrosse camps better for a specific position or type of player?
No, not at all. We want players at our camp that are excited about the sport and ready to learn. Each summer we have an even number of players at each position and the feedback is incredible across the board. Kelly Amonte Hiller, was a Center, and has a wealth of knowledge about all the field positions. In addition, we have the Alexis Venechanos Goalie School. Alexis was an NCAA Division I Goalie of the year and she knows what it takes to get it done between the pipes.
