Why did we start a summer lacrosse camp in San Antonio, Texas?
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, San Antonio was the epicenter of Texas lacrosse. During that time, legendary Coach Earl Bill at Saint Mary’s Hall (SMH) built a powerhouse program that captured three consecutive state championships from 1998 to 2000.
At the same time, Coach Bill founded the Alamo Lacrosse Camp. As a result, it quickly became a summer tradition and, at its peak, welcomed over 150 players. My brothers and I grew up playing for Coach Bill at SMH, attending the Alamo Summer Camp, and eventually returning to coach after we graduated. In many ways, it shaped us not only as players, but as leaders.
However, like many great chapters, the Alamo Camp eventually came to a close.
Because of that, the following summer, my brothers and I felt a responsibility to carry the tradition forward. We knew what the camp had meant to us, and we understood what its absence would mean for the next generation of San Antonio lacrosse players. Therefore, determined to honor Coach Bill’s legacy, we stepped forward and founded the Summer Showdown Lacrosse Camp!
Now, The 13 years later, Summer Showdown remains the only locally owned and operated summer lacrosse camp in San Antonio. Looking back, it has been incredibly rewarding to positively impact so many athletes. None of it would have been possible without Coach Bill, and we are proud to continue coaching in his memory!
