Jenny W. - Parent This was the first year our daughter has attended a sports camp. What a wonderful introduction to the game of field hockey. Your staff seemed so friendly and knowledgeable and really helped our daughter develop some skills and interest in the sport.
Patricia J. - Coach Stellar job! From now on, if other coaches ask for camp recommendations, Revolution gets my vote hands down, every time!
Gina T. - Camper So much fun. It was hard, but good hard. The coaches asked a lot from us and were really helpful. Playing against the coaches and tournament play was a great test of my skills. There is nowhere I would rather be than on a hockey field!
