“My 8 year old son participated with Coach Brett & Garber Gorilla. Coach did an excellent job providing skill instructions which allowed the kids to work on their fundamentals. My son learned continuously throughout.. and was excited to go home and practice what he learned. Coach Brett made it fun all while the kids were working hard. It was impressive how he was able to move the group around so effectively from drill to drill and keep their attention. Drills were fast moving and efficient so there wasn’t a lot of downtime and the kids got a number of reps in. Each week the kids were challenged with new drills. Coach Brett was committed to teaching the basics of lacrosse, focusing on stick work and building confidence. I highly recommend and I am looking forward to having my son participate in more programs with Gorilla Lacrosse.”
