Nick Schmidt, a former MLL player and Assistant Coach at Rutgers University, will be directing this GameBreaker Lacrosse Camp.
Schmidt, who played for Rutgers from 2000-03, was a part of the incredible turnaround of Rutgers lacrosse. In his first three years, the team won a combined 10 games. During his senior campaign the Scarlet Knights went 10-5 and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 12 years. As a senior, Schmidt tallied 16 goals and added eight assists.
Additionally, Schmidt played for 6 years in the Major League Lacrosse (MLL). In 2007, he tallied 18 points and scooped 23 ground balls. He finished his career with the Chicago Machine after playing for both the New Jersey Pride and the Los Angeles Riptide.
The former Scarlet Knight has also had the chance to coach at the youth and high school levels for the last five years. Schmidt has received his teaching certification and has founded the South Brunswick Youth Lacrosse program to help the growth of the sport in the state of New Jersey.
From 2004-08, Schmidt was the assistant coach at South Brunswick High School. His team compiled a 75-21 overall record during his tenure and in 2007 they captured the Greater Middlesex Conference Division Championship.
Schmidt graduated from Rutgers in 2003 with a degree in Management and Labor Relations. He also received his teaching certification from Kean University.
