"Coach Derek - Is a great coach and does a fantastic job organizing each session where my child worked in small groups on growing in his tactical skills, then using those skills in game like play. He never wanted to leave camp, he had so much fun. That's a WIN!"
Tim J.
"Coach Jessie - my daughter attended a different camp last year and overall had a better experience with Coach Jessie and Legacy Sports. The way they cater their sessions to the athletes skill levels was great to see. We will be signing up again!"

"Coach Luke - Provides an individualized approach when working with the kids. I noticed that he got down to their level to explain drills, and even hopped into the games to play. My child had some much fun at camp!"
