Karen Healy-Silcott is joined by Coach Gabrielle Torain, a former University of Massachusetts Lowell defender, and Alexis Joseph, a former Duke University defender who joined the Bisons as volunteer assistant coach in 2022.
“US Sports Camps is delighted to expand our HBCU partnership with the Nike Girls Lacrosse Camp at Howard University, a historic college setting that inspires young talent to reach for the stars” explains Senior Vice President Paul Merrion. ”We’re thrilled to work with Karen Healy-Silcott—an international player and respected mentor—and her experienced staff who will deliver focused training to every player with a low student-to-coach ratio. Outlets like this in the DC area can be life-changing, as young girls leave with new life skills and friendships that foster success—in lacrosse, in academics, and in life.”
Players will report to the 10,000 seat William H. Greene Stadium in northwest Washington, D.C., situated on Howard University’s 256-acre campus, often referred to as “The Mecca.”
Enrollment for the Nike Girls Lacrosse Camp at Howard University is now open, with players divided into a "complete skills camp" for ages 10-13 and "advanced skills camp" for ages 14-18. Prospective players and parents can visit the website for more information or to sign up.
