David Tamberrino and I have played at the highest levels a face off man can play. From the MIAA “A” to Top Division One programs, and in the MLL as well. We know better than anyone what it takes to succeed and be on top at each of these three levels. Facing off has become such an important aspect to the game of lacrosse, we felt it was our duty to put a camp environment together with two of the Best D-1 face off men of all time. It is my goal to personally instruct in detail the proper technique and mentality that it takes to be the best of all time. ~ Alex Smith
