Before signing up, I asked several parents and kids who have attended in the past and there were universally positive responses. I can't vouch for how much Sal will be there, but Vinny, his brother and my son's Achilles head coach, plans on being there the entire time. And it's very affordable. For someone to say it's a "premium price" is outrageous. It is $995 for FOUR weeks 8:30A to 3pm, less than $250/week. It's one of the most affordable camps around. The technical training at Achilles practices is focused, high energy and fun. The coaches are hands on participants. After a year, my son has improved a lot and loves the coaching.
Please stop with this incessant and dishonest criticism of Achilles. Someone is clearly searching for reasons in these threads to criticize them. On every thread where someone complains about coaching or a club, one of these folks pops up and says something like, was it Achilles? Achilles is terrible. Now they're pleading with people to NOT go to an Achilles summer camp and checking the Achilles website for details on a camp they're not attending just to criticize it.
And sorry for the re-post. I somehow buried my response amongst other messages last time.
These forums are meant for differing opinions. Never signed up DS for this camp, so no opinion to offer. I do find it weird that someone is pleading for pp to NOT to post criticism (and, I suppose NOT to sign up or whatever). I took a look at the criticism of Achilles on this site and it is quite broad and detailed. Not so sure I'd be signing my DS up either. I thank pp for offering opinions on any camp, school etc. They are doing the leg work for me, so I can make the best decision and asking around.
