Thank
you so much for making the NY trip an incredible experience for Gary. He
said it was the best team and coaches he has had the pleasure to play with.
By far it was his most fun trip and the most competitive lacrosse he has
experienced.
You guys did a great job.

I want to express my thanks and gratitude to you for the
experience Alex has had and is having with Atlanta Elite. The Team is
coached, managed and organized in a manner of which you all should be
proud.
I know that Alex really enjoys playing for Atlanta Elite and
it is due to two things. The first is that he knows the level of skill and
competition will be quite high. The second is because of you guys and the
way in which you run the Team; straight forward, no BS, and with a lot of fun
and enjoyment.
Alex, gets asked to play on a fair number of teams, many of
which he declines. But he always wants to play for you guys. That
says and means a lot to me. As a parent of a
teenage boy I am grateful that Alex has had the opportunity to play with Atlanta
Elite and to be around Coaches who go about things the right way. I hope
you guys appreciate the positive impact that you have on these young
men.
Regards,

As a parent I wanted to write you all and say thanks for
everything you did for the guys. Nine games in three days is a lot but no one
complained. The history of West Genesee lacrosse coupled with great weather in
the Finger Lakes and some of the finest players in the country as opponents made
for an unbelievable lacrosse environment. It has to be cool seeing the Syracuse,
Cornell, Hobart and Lemoyne coaches (to name just a few) on the
sidelines.
Cory and many of the guys I talked to said it was the best
experience they had ever had. For Cory it was not only the best team he's ever
played for but the most fun he has ever had traveling with a team. Keeping the
guys together the whole time and assigning roommates they did not already know
was cool and a nice touch!
What you all did to get the guys "gelled" in a day was
amazing. I especially liked the Friday scrimmage and the morning jogs to clear
the cobwebs. Also several of the parents commented on not seeing any poor
sportsmanship. Great call making character an important selection
criteria.
Lastly,
the color picture and bound recruiting packet you made for the team was
excellent. The information listed caused several guys to be approached by
schools that might have over looked them had they not seen GPA's and interests.
Awesome stuff!
Take
care and thanks again!
