Summary: This Camp is designed for Defenseman only. The Defensive Academy Overnight Camp will be run by world class defenders Tucker Durkin and Kyle Hartzell, along with other top collegiate coaches and players.  Players will enjoy comfortable accommodations on a college campus, full access to meals and nutrition, and off-field experiences that keep the schedule fresh and enjoyable between lacrosse sessions. What's different? Training sessions, drills, film, yoga, strength and conditioning, strategy, and all other lacrosse components will be geared towards getting the most out of defensive players. If you're a defender looking to improve, there isn't a better camp available. Period.

Defensive Academy's Overnight Camp will be led by current professional standouts Kyle Hartzell (New York Lizards) and Tucker Durkin (Florida Launch). Kyle and Tucker are two of the most decorated defensive players in the professional game today. Each player currently represents Team USA and has been selected to multiple MLL All-Star Appearances. Additional accolades include MLL Defensive Player of the Year, MLL Championships, MLL 1st Team All-Pro Nominations, NCAA All-American, and NCAA National Championships. Kyle has coached for private organizations as well as at the high-school level in Dallas, TX, and Tucker is currently the head coach of Bryn Athyn College in PA (host site of Defensive Academy Overnight).
