At the beginning of June, Longstreth held another Longstreth Ambassador Skills Clinic at Stevenson University in Owings Mill, Maryland. We loved spending the evening with athletes eager to learn and grow their skills alongside some incredible coaches. Events like this remind us of how powerful our ambassador program is in helping to grow the game and inspire the next generation of players!

Special thank you to our 6 ambassadors who helped run the clinic: Aimee Largoza (Ritual), Carly Hynd (TK), Lexi Patterson (TK), Jena Vanskiver (Gryphon), Izzy Vickery (Ritual), and Katelyn Kearns (Voodoo).

Read about some of the feedback from the clinic from coaches, players, and parents:

“I loved being able to be a part of the Stevenson clinic! One of the reasons I enjoy coaching so much is seeing players connect with a new skill is such a rewarding experience to watch their confidence grow. My favorite part of working with the players at Stevenson was focusing on stick skills and helping them develop and continue to grow their fundamentals. We turned many of the drills into friendly competitions, which made learning even more fun and kept everyone engaged. The players brought great energy and enthusiasm, and it was exciting to see them challenge themselves, support one another, and improve throughout the clinic. Being able to share my passion for the game while helping young athletes grow made the experience incredibly meaningful.” – Aimee Largoza, Coach

"I had so much fun at the Longstreth camp! My favorite part was that the coaches made everything fun, especially warming up with a game instead of just running. I also loved earning raffle tickets by working hard because it made me want to keep trying my best. It was awesome getting to play with my teammates and see girls I've played against before. The coaches were really nice and helped everyone learn new skills. I can't wait to come back!" – Olivia, 8 years old, clinic participant

“I wasn't sure how my daughter would do with a three-hour camp (I signed her up for the longer option), but the coaches did an incredible job keeping the players engaged from start to finish. Olivia didn't complain once—in fact, she came off the field smiling, energized, and excited to get back out there.

Everything was so thoughtfully organized, from the name tags and snacks to the prizes, skill stations, and ending the day with a scrimmage. The coaches created a positive, encouraging environment where players of every skill level felt supported while still being challenged to improve. It was clear how much planning and care went into every detail. We'd absolutely attend another Longstreth camp in the future.” – Olivia’s mother
