Summer 2024 Crimson Prospect Experience:
“This was my second Crimson Prospect Experience and it never fails to impress. First of all, it brings out outstanding competition, making for a very competitive atmosphere. Second, the coaches were extremely hands on, giving the players an idea of what it would be like to play for them. (The feedback was spot on, as well!). Most important, the player panel gave an insight that simply would not be available anyplace else. For those of us who are considering Harvard, the whole event was a "can't miss".”
“Very well run event. Best communication of any lax event ever attended. Harvard player and coach engagement was very high. Thank you for the opportunity!”
“Great event best prospect day we have been. The whole day was great much better than other prospects days we attended. The other thing that really separates this event from the other is the communication. It was great. So happy we attended.”
“The event was the 2nd experience for our family across 2 sons. My husband attended the 1st time. Both our son and my husband were quite impressed w/the day’s schedule from position coaching to more intimate Q&A for players and parents to game play w/excellent instruction from a variety of couches. I brought our 2nd son last week. After a long, hot, stressful summer season of lacrosse, your prospect camp was refreshing. Again, what could have been stressful was a very positive learning experience in a variety of ways. The segments were well thought out and reflected Harvard’s program well. The instructions beforehand were also detailed and clear, creating understood expectations for the players, parent and coaches.”
“Very impressed by the organization and content of this event and the attitude of Coach Byrne — Thank you for making the weight room training, injury prevention and recovery a part of the program and making this time to talk with parents as a group, and answer questions — We all learned a lot from you and your candor. The positional training is tremendous. We are also big believers in effectiveness of film for training so this is very meaningful to us that you make this is a component of the experience, and the timing that you schedule it. The current Players presence, attitude and approachability says a lot about the team culture. My son wasn't sure if he liked the school yet now sees that he is impressed and would be happy to attend Harvard. Thank you for a great event and sharing with us.”
"I wanted to thank you for allowing me to visit Harvard and be part of the Crimson Prospect Experience. It was an excellent experience to play with a great group of talented players in our age group. After the camp, I am even more excited about Harvard’s Lacrosse program. I have been to several other camps and this one had the best overall experience with its mix of play and non-play activities.”
“I’m reaching out to say thank you to you, the coaching staff and players for putting together such a great prospect camp yesterday. I truly appreciate all of the time and effort you guys put in to making the day enjoyable and informative. I took away a lot not only about lacrosse but also the school it self. I hope we can meet again soon.”
“Thank you for a great day today. The Q&A was incredibly informative and I could tell the boys were having a blast out there. I haven’t taken notes since my college days but this was worth it. Thanks again and best of luck in the future.”
“Thank you for having me for Prospect Day! I especially enjoyed learning from your coach staff. You helped me realize what I should be looking for in a coach and a team!”
Summer 2024 Crimson Youth Academy:
“My son had the BEST time at the lacrosse camp! He came home and played MORE lacrosse detailing everything he learned that day. Thank you to your staff for inspiring future lacrosse players!”
“My son has gone to a ton of lacrosse camps. I'm trying to think of them all but there's been Myles Jones, Mark Millon, 3D Be The Best, Prime Time, various ISL camps, etc. and your camp is far and away the best overall. The only camp comparable to it in terms of logistics, organization, clarity of communications, and diversionary fun activities like water fights is Camp Primetime. I think Christian Thomas might be the point man here and he excels at programming and communication. And of course you have what no other program can offer -- the intangibles of being at Harvard, having Coach Byrne and coaches and staff there. It would be a dream come true if someday my son could play HLX. But just having the opportunity to be in Harvard Stadium and on Jordan Field is plenty inspirational for the kids and hopefully encourages them to dream big.”
“We enjoyed the camp a lot. It was very educational, my son learned a lot from each drill. All the coaching staff showed great energy throughout the camp. We loved it. We will be on the lookout for the information for next summer.”
2023 Crimson Prospect Experience
“This event was exceptional from start to finish (including communication leading up to and after the event). Thank you very much for the opportunity.” -September 23 Crimson Prospect Experience
“So far my son has been to Duke, Tufts and NXT @ Yale camps and this was far away a very well thought out prospect camp. The communication was excellent with emails keeping us informed up to prospect camp. Q & A was very helpful. All of the coaches were great. Will definitely return.” -September 23 Crimson Prospect Experience
“Honestly, I think this was the best run event we've seen. We were especially impressed with the pre-event communication. Incredibly thorough and organized. Have not experienced anything like it, but expect nothing less. Thank you.” -September 23 Crimson Prospect Experience
“My son and I have been doing the rounds for lacrosse. I have to say..the Crimson Prospect Experience is amazing. It was, by far, the most organized camp that we have attended. We will see you again next year. Thank you for a great experience.” -September 23 Crimson Prospect Experience
Summer 2022 Crimson Prospect Experience
“I thought this prospect day was perfect from all aspects, I got a great feel for the school, awesome instructional work and great competition!”
“This was the most well run prospect day that my son has attended. The communication prior to the event was amazing. I love how you included a map, restaurant suggestions and parking information all VERY helpful for a first time visitor! The format was perfect. Some of my favorite parts were the locker room tour for the boys and a recruiting Q&A with parents - very informative! You and your staff made everyone feel very welcome (including the parents). Your organization and attention to every detail was very impressive and much appreciated! Thank you!”
“This camp was outstanding. We also attended a camp at Yale two days later, and there was simply no comparison. Harvard's prospect day was well organized and exposed all of us to exactly what we wanted/needed to see.”
“Harvard lax could not have made a better first impression - from the clear and regular emails in the lead-up to the event itself, with the focus on playing not positional drills - and the coaches talk to parents was frank and surprisingly helpful. Regardless of how it plays out, it was a great day for my son - after a long challenging summer, lacrosse was fun again.”
“One of the best run events we have attended. Certainly represented how well a program is in place at Harvard. The question and answer portion with Harvard and other programs was awesome.”
Summer 2022 Crimson Youth Academy
“Our son said it was the best camp he’s ever been to! Thank you for giving him a great 3 days!”
“Thank you to the entire staff. Everyone was engaging, knowledgeable and kept everything competitive and fast pace while doing so in very hot conditions. Every aspect was well structured.”
“My son had a great time and he felt like he really learned some new skills. A lot of camps don’t put as much emphasis on the true skills and he was really psyched about that!”
“Overall, fantastic. We really enjoyed the whole experience. Thank you to lax the coaching staff and to Harvard for making this happen. Can't wait to come back.”
Fall 2021 Crimson Prospect Experience
“With three sons playing lacrosse, we have attended prospect camps at a dozen different schools. The Byrne Method camp is by far the best organized, best communicated, best learning experience we have seen. We wish all college prospect days were run this well.”
“I applaud you for the level of communication and detail that was included in all emails. It was fantastic to see current Harvard players coaching the prospects and communicating with them throughout the day. It was by far the best prospect day my son has attended, and he looks forward to returning.”
“The Crimson Prospect Experience was hands down the best day of lacrosse I have ever been a part of.”
“This was the best run prospect camp our family has ever attended. It sets the standard.”
“This has been the best run Prospect day to date. The level of participation from the players was excellent. I enjoyed how the Harvard players interacted with the prospects on the sideline.”
“The Prospect Camp I attended on October 31st was an amazing event, it was very well organized and the schedule was different from the other prospect camps I attended this fall. I loved how there was an actual time frame for player Q&A. In addition to the film session, I have never experienced a film session during a prospect camp and it was incredible to learn what’s going on during the plays, what they did wrong, what they did right. The camp definitely increased my lacrosse IQ.”
July 2021 Crimson Prospect Experience
"I have been fortunate enough to have 2 sons go through the recruiting process. Collectively we have experienced several prospect days and I can honestly say this was one of the best put together from process to content that we have been a part of.”
“Loved the format and the gameplay. Best prospect day I have ever attended hands down.”
“I think the camp ran perfectly and the talent was amazing. Watching it from a spectator point rather than being able to play (due to an injury), I could tell everyone learned a lot and was happy to perform.”
“I loved every second of it, especially getting to work with the Harvard Coaches”
“I thought it was a fantastic event and really enjoyed the recruiting talk with Coach Byrne, and the player panel helped me gain a unique insight into Harvard Lacrosse!

“This was a FANTASTIC experience for my son. He thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed it. Every coach knew his name and that made a HUGE difference. The players were so personable as well. They got to see the weight room and training facilities, which has never happened at previous prospect events. I felt that it was very well organized with great communication, great enthusiasm, great energy.”
“Everything was great, the level of interaction between coaches, players prospects was great. I wouldn’t change anything about any of the camp segments.”
“Thank you for a great day !”
“I can't think of a thing that would improve the experience. It was excellent.”
October 2019 Crimson Prospect Experience
“This is a mom filling out the survey. I was incredibly impressed with the whole event - from the communication prior, the helpful information regarding where to park, map, etc. The player panel that included Coach Byrne was excellent. The boys were impressive and the strong work ethic they demonstrated is clearly the result of the Harvard experience, including the lacrosse program. I've been to a number of these events now and yours was in a league of it's own in terms of how the whole event was run from pre, to during, and now post (e.g. sending this survey). Really well done. Thank you.”

“Thank you, my son Taylor enjoyed this event and looks forward to similar events in the future”
“My son, Greyson, said that was the most fun he's ever had in a clinic. The coaches had a great rapport with them right from the start! We would definitely make the 6hr round trip again! Thank you Coaches!!!”
“Great job coaches!”
“Just wanted to give you some feedback on the Shooters & Stoppers clinic Henry attended on Saturday - Henry loved it - he was going on and on about Coach Corrigan and how much he enjoyed talking lacrosse with him, how fun everything was and how much individualized coaching he got. We'd recommend it to anyone!”
