The Impact of NJLT, in Their Words
KHUSH MEHTA
Great program with Coaches and teammates who cared about you both on and off the field. Helped me develop my skills and helped me get to a collegiate level. In my time as a player, we were able to win tournaments in both summer and fall and it was all thanks to the coaches and training of this program.
WILL KEEGAN
Great program with coaches who really cared!! Helped me take my lacrosse skills to the next level along with building up my confidence on the field!
JOSH FRIEDMAN
Once I first got into lacrosse as a kid, this was my first experience outside of passing in the backyard. The summer camp was an amazing experience years ago, and it still is. I’m glad to have played with NJLT ELITE from the start to the finish of my high school career. My shooting mechanics were the most improved over time.
