Testimonials

Now that the Spring season is complete I want to thank you again for all you have done for Peter as well as the Algonquin varsity team.

Gonk Lax had the best season in its history finishing at 19-3 but losing out to St. Johns (Shrewsbury) by 8-6 in the Central Massachusetts championship game.

Home Grown had a major impact on the team this year. I want to thank you and your staff at Home Grown for improving these young men with excellent coaching throughout the past year. All four Gonk members on your 2009 summer team will play in college.

Brendan Sullivan has an excellent year at midfield , took some face-offs in critical situation, and scored 22 goals. Brian Murphy was hurt for the first half of the season but came back to score 20 goals and provide offense at critical times. Jeff Serapiglia led Central MA in goal tending, had an incredible year with a save percentage of .690, and was a league all-star.

Peter was co-captain of the team and led the defense playing close D. He shut out the Longmeadow All American and battled three times with Colin O’Rourke the All American from St. Johns to an overall draw. Peter often brought the ball up to initiate the offense but despite his best efforts he did not score a goal (hit the post in one game). Peter was selected a league all-star as well as Academic All-American.

Peter is a good athlete with a drive not found in many players but without your coaching I am not certain he would have achieved as much this season.  I appreciate you providing him the skills to play at the next level with Tufts!!! – David A. Ellis

My son Casey has had the privilege of playing and learning lacrosse under the teaching and development of coach Bryan Brazill.  During his freshman sophomore and junior years, Casey took advantage of the many wonderful programs offered by Home Grown lacrosse to take his game to a level.  His junior year he participated in the Home Grown Academy that culminated in several college offers to play lacrosse.  Bryan and his staff spent untold hours refining the skills and mental toughness necessary for a serious lacrosse player to take his or her game to another level. I would encourage any parent or player to take advantage of the experienced staff at Home Grown Lacrosse.

“Home Grown Lacrosse clinics are superb! Our daughter has received excellent coaching and training which has dramatically improved her level of play. The group clinics address lacrosse techniques on individual as well as team related dynamics, drawing out the best skill in each player. The private clinics are perfect for one-on-one diagnosis and skill building. Further, the coaches lead by example. The commitment they demonstrate to their players and programs inspire athletes on and off the lax field. Home Grown Lacrosse has created an excellent environment for all ages and skill levels.” - Pam and Brendan Burke, Academy Player Parents
