Camp Philosophy
In 2011 the camp has been restructured into a competitive team camp.  Each player will be assigned to a team with a coach who is either playing collegiately or has played in college.  The teams will work at the beginning of the week implementing systems and then there will be a camp playoff on Wednesday with the Semi-Finals and Championship game on Thursday.

The team that wins the team championship at the end of the week will be presented with Rising Stars Team Camp Championship T-Shirts.

The Camp is Open, First 6 teams of Players

Starting in 2011 this camp has evolved into a competitive camp still run under the direction of Coach Horne the winningest coach in Northern Virginia. 
 
Camp Director
Rob Horne has been with NoVa West since it's inception.  Rob is the Head Coach of the Crusaders recruiting team and is the Director for all camp activities.  Coach Horne has been the Head Coach of the Notre Dame Academy Dragons since 2001, prior to that he coached the Loudoun Llamas.  During his coaching career he has amassed over 100 victories and appeared in four state semi-finals. In 2007 Rob guided the Dragons to their first ever Virginia State title and was named the MILL Conference Coach of the Year.
 
Each camper will be assigned to one of the following teams, if you have a specific request ahead of time please let us know and we will try our best to meet your needs.
 
Team Blue Hose
Coach Devin Pinkston
Devin graduated from Notre Dame Academy in 2007 after playing four years under Coach Horne. During his tenure at NDA Devin captured not only school but also Loudoun County all time scoring records for season (126) and career (367). In 2007 Devin helped the Dragons win two conference championships and the Virginia State title. He was voted MILL conference player of the year, All-State first team for the second year and High School All-American. Devin received a scholarship to play collegiately at D1 Presbyterian College in South Carolina, he is a starting attack man for the Blue Hose.
 
Team Irish
Coach Matt Miller
Matt is a great young talent in his second year at Notre Dame University.  Matt was a multi-year MILL All-Conference player as well as a multi-year Washington Post All-Extra player while playing at Notre Dame Academy.  He is as dominating a defender that has ever come out of Northern Virginia.
 
Team Dolphins
Coach Brendan Niklason
Brendan is a tremendous young coach.  During his playing time with the Crusaders he captured the save record for the team.  A very quick and very skilled goalie, Brendan brings a lot to the NoVa West staff. Brendan has signed to play collegiately at D1 Mount St. Mary's. Brendan was named the MVP of the Virginia DIII State Championship game in 2008.
 
Team Retrievers
Coach JD Harkey
JD Harkey is new with NoVa West for 2011 but certainly not a new name for the Northern Virginia area.  JD played his high school ball at Loudoun Valley High School were he went on to become probably the most decorated face off specialist in the area.  Since then JD has gone on to have a very successful collegiate career with the DI UMBC Retrievers.  JD's skills in the face off department will help NoVa West and it's players tremendously in the future.
