STAFF
Director: Michael Scerbo- Head Women's Lacrosse Coach, Duquesne University
Mike Scerbo enters his second season at the Duquesne helm, the seventh as a collegiate head coach. Scerbo is just the second mentor in the 10-year history of the DU lacrosse program. He took over the Duquesne position in August of 2005 after a four-year stint as an assistant coach at Ohio State from 2002 to 2005.
He led the Dukes to an 11-5 record in his first year with the Dukes and finished tied for fourth in the Atlantic 10 posting a 4-3 league mark. He saw five of his players earn Atlantic 10 All-Conference honors which included two first team picks (Kelly Mulford, Krista Mann), a second team selection (Stacie Pollock), an honorable mention (Courtney Tamasitis) and an All-Rookie pick (Kathleen McNish). Krista Mann was tabbed as the Atlantic 10 Defensive Player of the Year and three players (Caroline Gallagher, Mann, Tamasitis) earned a spot on the Academic All-Conference squad.
At Ohio State, Scerbo helped guide the Buckeyes to a pair of NCAA tournament appearances (2002 & 2003) and one American Lacrosse Conference title (2003). OSU won a school-record 14 matches in 2003 (14-4) and posted an 11-5 record in 2002. The Buckeyes were ranked 11th nationally by the IWLCA in 2003 and 12th at the conclusion of the 2002 slate - Scerbo's initial campaign at OSU. Ohio State was 36-30 overall during his tenure.
Prior to his move to Columbus, Ohio, Scerbo served as the head women's lacrosse coach at Limestone College in Gaffney, S.C. for five seasons. He was head coach of Limestone's first team in 1997 and quickly developed the program into a national contender. His squad was ranked in the Division II Top Ten from 1998-2001, while producing numerous All-Americans and several Deep South District Team and North-South Senior All-Star Team members. Scerbo posted a 33-24 record at Limestone College including a 10-1 mark - good for a No. 2 national ranking - in his final season in 2001.
Professionally, Scerbo has chaired the IWLCA Division II Coaches' Poll Committee and was also a member of the NCAA Division II Women's Lacrosse Committee. He played a vital role in the development of the NCAA Division II Women's Lacrosse National Tournament, which debuted in 2001. Scerbo, who is regarded as one of the bright, up-and-coming women's lacrosse coaches in the country, was nominated by his coaching peers for the prestigious IWLCA National Division II Coach of the Year award in 2001. Aside from coaching, Scerbo was also an Associate Athletic Director and an Admissions Representative at Limestone College.
A 1995 graduate of SUNY Oswego with a bachelor's degree in biology, Scerbo was the assistant women's lacrosse coach at his alma mater in 1996, working with the offense and goalies. He played three years of college lacrosse at Division I State University of New York at Stony Brook as an attackman and concluded his playing career at Oswego in 1995.
STAFF MEMBERS: The coaching staff at the Revolution lacrosse camps is one of the strongest and most well respected in the country. Consisting of top collegiate coaches and players, the staff is handpicked for their ability to teach and relate to youngplayers in a friendly, thorough and responsible manner.

FAQ'S - Frequently Asked Questions:
What type of campers attend camp ?
A. Our residential camps are designed to teach the technical basics and love of the game to the beginning player, to introduce strategical decision making to the intermediate player and build on their current stroke production, and to put the advanced player into pressured, strategical and competitive situations.
What are the main differences between the traditional tennis camp and the "Match Play" week ?
A. The primary four one-week sessions focus more on the technical side of the game. Advanced players will be pushed in the areas of strategy and point progression, however, more emphasis will be placed on stroke production. The "Match Play" camp is designed for more advanced players and will focus more on the strategical side of the game. Point play progressions, competitive match play and situational work will be the focus of this camp.
What type of supervision is provided ?
A. All activities both on and off the courts are supervised by mature and responsible staff members.No one is allowed to leave campus or leave their group during camp. Supervision in the residence halls at night ensures the campers are getting adequate rest. In addition, campus security is present at all times.

Are Teams Welcome ?
A. Teams are encouraged to attend. In some cases, if arrangements are made by the coach we can keep a team together for training purposes.

REASONS TO ATTEND THE REVOLUTION LACROSSE CAMPS:
We know that you have several options when it comes to picking a top tennis camp. However, we at the All-American Tennis Camp feel that we offer several benefits that make our camp one of the top camps available. Included in these are:
1. Outstanding Staff:
The key to any instructional lacrosse camp in the quality of instruction. We have hand picked our staff based on their abilities to instruct and relate to kids ages 8-18. There are many camps out there that have "big name" coaches or "outstanding players", however the real question is, can these people teach the game, and more importantly can they relate and work with young kids. Our camp Directors have more than 20 years experience in the lacrosse camp field, and they carefully hire a good mix of coaches based on their abilities to teach the game. In addition, it is our goal to see to it that not only do the students have a top flight learning environment, but that they are able to have a enjoyable and fun camp experience as a whole. We want kids to continue to enjoy and loven the game, as their skills progress.
2. Small Instructional Environment
Many lacrosse camps are merely "gamecamps" or "recruiting camps", very little instruction goes on and skill development and skill development is a secondary (or lower) concern. At the Revolution Lacrosse Camps, our first priority is instruction. For this, we offer one of the best Coach to camper ratios in the country. Limited to 8-9 campers per coach (8-9:1), we can ensure each student a great deal of individual attention. This means a more personalized experience, thus quicker and more thorough learning.
3. Value
One of the hallmarks of the Premier Sports Camps and the Revolution Lacrosse Camp is value for the dollar. We make every effort to keep our fees as low as possible. In fact, at $480 per week, we are the lowest pricedresidential instructional camp in Ohio. In some cases we are more than $175-$250 less per week than our competitors
4. Experience
With more than 20 years experience in the tennis camp industry, we understand what it takes to offer a good blend between competition, instruction, and fun. We supervise the kids 24 hours a day and it is our goal to see that each student enjoys themselves off the courts, while at the same time learning on the courts.
5. Outstanding facilities
The College of Wooster is considered the finest sports camp environment in the state of Ohio. This beautiful location, in northeast Ohio, offers the safety of a small town setting, coupled with a picturesque campus. In addition, the facilities are top notch. The tennis courts are regarded as some of the most well kept courts in the state. The camp setup is outstanding. A new $5 million overhaul to the food service offers as kids more choices and better quality food than just about anywhere. Campus dorms are well kept and set up ideally for a camp setting. There is an outstanding student union which hosts the campus bookstore, two dining options, post office, computer labs, and a game room. The courts, the food hall, the dorms, the student union, game room, post office and bookstore are all within 500 yards of each other.
6. Safety
A small town setting helps create a safe and camper friendly experience. Our staff are responsible for the kids 24 hours a day and we place a premium on camper safety. In addition to our staff members, there is a full time summer security staff at the College of Wooster that is responsible for the various camps that the school hosts. Finally, there is also a the normal full time College of Wooster security force onduty at all times. A full-time certified trainer is on duty throughout each weekly session. Additionally, the medical facilities of the Wooster Community Hospital are within a mile of the College campus in case of emergency.
