"My team has visited Hilton Head 3 times now, and each has been a positive experience. The staff is super friendly and organized. They work hard to accommodate our requested game and practice schedule, and have trainers and staff available on site to help with any situations that arise. The villas were very nice and extremely comfortable. Our trips to Hilton Head have provided the exact opportunity for team bonding and a high level of competition we were looking for, and I would recommend this option to other teams considering taking a spring trip."
~ Amanda Counts, James Madison High School
"We love it! We like having the kids housed so close to us and the housing and food are awesome."
~ Wendy Kridel, Bryn Mawr HS, Head Coach US Under 19 Team
"Our Hilton Head trip was a great jump start for our season. It was a unique combination of vacation and lacrosse training. The accommodations were the best of any camp we have attended and it was nice to be able to come back to such comfortable, pleasant surroundings after practice or games. We went on to have one of our most successful seasons ever."
~ Susan Merritt, National Cathedral School
"For over 10 years, we have reaped the benefits of Island Sport Tours Lacrosse Training. They welcome you with open arms and make your stay easy for you to travel with a large or small team!
My girls love Hilton Head for the Team bonding chances it gives us! Living together, beaching it, practicing, scrimmaging and bike riding around the Island make this a special trip year in and year out!
The best thing about this trip is the time and space I am given to work with my team. The work we can get done without distractions is amazing. We have the flexibility to take advantage of the day and nights and the temperatures are perfect. The success my team has had over the past ten years is largely in part to our time in Hilton Head! We love Hilton Head and Island Sports Tours! I recommend this to everyone!"
~ Carol Pouliot Riverdale Country Day School
"I asked the girls to say whether they want to return to Hilton head next spring's trip. Of the 21 girls on the team that received the ballot, 20 said 'YES' in capital letters and the 1 that said 'no' explained that next year she will not be able to attend the spring break trip and she doesn't want her team to go to Hilton Head without her!"
~ Choate (CT)
Some of the actual comments from the girls were as follows:
"The Hilton Head trip was the best pre-season trip that I have had in my 4 years at Choate, in any sport.""I loved Hilton Head, the Lacrosse was fun, but I really loved riding our bikes all over Sea Pines and on the Beach"
"The bike ride to dinner at Truffles was so much fun - I want to do it again and again and again"
"After playing Lacrosse and walking down to the beach on our first day, I thought that we were in heaven"
"Alligators, Lacrosse, Shopping at Coligny Plaza, Lax practice overlooking the water, swimming in the ocean, running sprints up the Harbortown Lighthouse - are you kidding? I'm going back!"
"The fields are close to Sea Pines, there wasn't a lot of driving and hectic planning to get to practice and games, and then we got to lay on the beach after a long day of playing lax - it was soooo fun"
"I've been to Disney and to West Palm Beach, this trip was better than those two combined - there is so much more to do as a team- bike rides, shopping, and just hanging at Harbor Town"
"Hilton Head is awesome - my family has booked a summer vacation for this year because they have never been there and I want them all to see it"
~ Choate Girls Lacrosse team members
