2025 KBL National Overnight Camp at Towson University (July 8-10)

In our continued experience of competing at the highest level, the summer has always been the time to compete and make leaps in development. Growing up attending summer camps both day and overnight, relationship building and teamwork has sparked excitement to lead an event of this size and strength.

The 2025 KBL National Overnight Camp at Towson University will be led by Kirst Brothers, Connor, Colin, Cole, CJ and Caden in a high intensity and energetic event with elite coaching. The setting will maximize players’ stick skills developing strengths and improving weaknesses building camaraderie within the group.

High intensity 3x games throughout the days will also be used to challenge and increase creativity as well as deception when shooting.

Overnight Camper: $500

Day Camper: $350

WHO’S WEAPON OF CHOICE?!

Every player’s stick and pocket have their own identity. Some string their own, others have friends create the pocket tailoring to one’s strength and preference. For this new edition of the KBL Newsletter, each week we will highlight a current lacrosse player’s weapon of choice, and have you, the reader, reply to this newsletter with your best guess as to who it may be.

Thank you Dylan Molloy for sharing your weapon of choice last week!

Take a look at what I’m working with this summer!

“I’m using the Gait Torq with East Coast Dyes Hero 4.0 Semi-Hard mesh with three shooting strings across.”

“I string my sticks and like the pocket to sit low. I also like for the pocket to shift high when I’m shooting and catching. I enjoy stringing my stick because I can feel when it’s been used to its full potential and needs to be restrung as well as the process of making it the most consistent.”

“I like how stiff the Torq is and the shape of the head. I do not have any superstitions but do like to tape my stick before every game. I tape my stick about a third of the way from the bottom of the shaft and a third of the way from the top of the head with electrical tape.”

“I recommend asking people what they use and why they use a particular head and pattern on their sidewall. You never know if you would like their stick or if it fits your style of play!”

Energy and Effort! Attitude and Acknowledgement! Together and Toughness!
