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.

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.
