Anyone attended? Is it good? Worth the time? Money?
Are there other options? Anything maybe closer to Norther Virginia?
I'm assuming you are talking about the ones with Jerry Ragonese. Yes they are good and it builds a strong community of faceoff guys in the area which the DMV has been very successful at doing.
The PVI clinics are also great and bring in some very good talent to help coach it. Bobby Feisee is a very good coach and the pace and price may be better for newer/younger players.
Yes, that is the one with Jerry Ragonese. Glad to hear it's good, but the location and time is a challenge at this point.
I'll reach out to Coach Feisee perhaps. The head coach didn't indicate their face off work was for anyone outside of the team, perhaps Feisee does private coaching?

Thanks for the reply, appreciated.
I had contacted PVI's coach about winter clinics, and he replied that they didn't do any, and didn't mention their FO work (which I've seen mentioned on their Twitter account several times). I will see if he'd ever be willing to let my son and I even just attend to watch.
My son, only 8, is obsessed with FO's and goalie. I haven't told him that those are mutually exclusive. Though maybe he can create a new Face Off Goalie On role, ha.
It's Tuesdays in Gaithersburg (I'm not advertising for them, FWIW).

But in addition to the coaching he'll receive in his rec league play you can look at group or private lessons (e.g., madlax, perfect performance, st. james, performance sports systems, and coachup). Local DIII or HS athletes may also be willing to give some lessons before season starts in earnest or certainly over the summmer. Many will advertise on your local rec league team websites. Tons of good video instruction for dpoles and game film also on YouTube.
How is Perfect Performance? I was considering the 10 session package with them. Thanks.

Have you done this? If so, what was it like?
They're also doing a session in Richmond on February 8th (Saturday), with Matt Dunn, if that works better for anyone - https://1stclasslax.com/courses/richdef/
I actually wrote Deemer Class two days ago to see if they'd ever do a NoVA-based class. He said definitely yes, but they'd need to make sure they had it set up to get close to the 15 player limit. So it'd take some interest, a location (!!) etc.

Tons of drills and they will typically have a celeb type player attend to give instruction and sign kids gear etc as well. It was Paul Rabil for quite a few years and I think it's been Miles Jones the last year or so.
If your kid has been around the sport for awhile and plays at a high level they will be miserable at this camp.
Thanks! Very helpful (seems like that might be allowed too often around here, ha).
My son is 8 now, will be 9 at the time of the camp and will be in the middle of his 3rd season. I'll lovingly call him an "enthusiastic learner with a lot of room for growth." If I can convince my wife then maybe it'd be a great opportunity. Don't want it to conflict with the flag football camp he did and enjoyed, though.
