Great Boot Camp!
This past Friday night was the first of the four session G7 Boot Camp run by Nicole Capurso. The girl's attending learned a lot and had a great time working with Nicole, Candice Bellocchio and Marie Malone, three Hofstra starters. Nothing like working with players who have achieved the kind of success these three have. They know what it takes to get to the next level.
