OLC MIDDLE SCHOOLERS TAKE ON THE US SPORTS CAMP AT UC BERKELEY

This summer Danny, Nolan, and Tron three standout middle school players from the Oakland Lacrosse Club had an exceptional opportunity to advance their lacrosse skills at the US Sports Camp held in partnership with the UC Berkeley Men’s Lacrosse Program. For these young athletes, the camp offered a transformative experience, immersing them in highlevel training and exposure to elite coaching from the Cal players. Set on the scenic UC Berkeley campus, the camp provided a dynamic environment where these players could elevate their game through a comprehensive training regimen.

Throughout, the Oakland Lacrosse Club players engaged in advanced drills, tactical sessions, and competitive play, each activity designed to refine their techniques and elevate their understanding of the game. This camp served as a glimpse into the high standards and strategic depth of top-tier lacrosse. Their camp coaches’ emphasis on teamwork, leadership, and sportsmanship resonated deeply with the young players, leaving them not only more skilled but also more inspired and confident in their abilities. Nolan, an 8th grader from Edna Brewer Middle School, was even awarded Camper of the Week! The U.S. Sports Camp experience will serve as a pivotal chapter in their lacrosse journeys and we can’t wait to see how much they’ve improved once the season starts back up!
