“We want to take advantage of the Black Friday sales at the mall. Just drop your kids off with us, as we elevate their game, while you shop at Marketplace just down the street,” said Walters.

White currently plays defense for the Rochester Rattlers (MLL). He was a standout at Syracuse University, where he was a three-time All-American. Walters played his college lacrosse at the University of Maryland after a successful career at Irondequoit High School. He had a breakout NLL season in 2012, finishing second on the team with 13 points in the playoffs. Walters plays in the MLL for the Hamilton Nationals and has two MLL titles to his credit.

Walters will run one final camp to close out 2012, returning with his annual SHARP SHOOTER ACADEMY. The two-day camp runs from Thursday, December 27th to Friday, December 28th from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The shooting specialty camp, set for All Star Sports Arena (557 E Ridge Rd.), is limited to 30 students.
