Our family has a “Gem” designation for the people, places and things we have come across over the years that we feel are truly special and far surpassed our expectations. Mike Acee and 212 Lacrosse fall easily into this designation. As an 8th grader, our daughter was fortunate enough to participate in several 212 Lacrosse camps and clinics and have her “Rec” team coached by Mike for both fall and spring ball. Mike has experience, knowledge and enthusiasm for the game and, better yet, he has the ability to communicate all of this to his players. With Mike and 212 Lacrosse our daughter was able to build a strong skills foundation and a love for the game on which she is still relying at the High School, Club and National level.

As parents of two teenage lacrosse players who were both new to the sport a couple years ago … Mike Acee (and his 212 Lacrosse Program) has been instrumental in developing our children’s lacrosse skills and knowledge of the game. We were fortunate to meet Mike just as our kids starting playing the sport (in fact, the first time my son picked up a lacrosse stick was at Mike’s summer camp – and he came home with a smile on his face and could not wait for the next camp session). The time and effort Mike gives all the kids in his program is impressive. Mike has worked with our children both privately and in group settings via his camps – and the improvement in both of their games was quick – and he always makes time for our questions. He gets to know each kid and teaches not only the correct lacrosse skills but how to play the game the right way – keeping the integrity of the game at the heart of his lessons. What we really enjoy about Mike is his positive attitude and constant encouragement with the kids. Mike relates well with kids of all ages and the parents too (many of us who are novices to the game) – we’ve enjoyed getting to know Mike over the years and look forward to our continued relationship. Mike’s lacrosse experience and knowledge are immense and the respect among his peers is deep … he is well connected in the lacrosse community, yet he is one of the most humble guys we have ever met. We would highly recommend any child interested in improving their lacrosse skills to work with Mike and his 212 Lacrosse Program.
