"Training at The Vault with Coach Dakota has been extremely helpful for building my lacrosse skills. On the field, we are working on our skills as a team, so this gives me the opportunity to become a stronger athlete, work on my individual skills and technique and become a better shooter on the goal. Coach Dakota is so helpful for shooting practice, as a former college goal keeper, he knows the angles and strategies to help me increase my offensive skills. I’m very grateful for being able to train in The Vault and look forward to continuing throughout college when I’m home for breaks!"
Emmy Clay
"I've connected with everyone and its a very fun environment. When I first started I didn't know anything about field hockey. Vault taught me what it was and how to be a true athlete not just a field hockey player."
Gigi Graham
"The Vault has made me into the player that I am today. Ever since I started training here, I have had the opportunity to work with fantastic coaches. Every coach wants to see you succeed, and they put 110% into the job that they are doing. Training at the Vault has also given me the opportunity to practice the sport that I love in such a supportive community."
Jolie Day
"Over my many years of coming to The Vault, I have never had a bad experience. The coaches I have had while training here have really become my family. The community that surrounds The Vault is like no other. The Vault helped mold me into the player I am today and I am forever grateful for everything they have done for me! There is truly no other place in Virginia Beach like The Vault and I am so excited to keep coming to classes and watching them grow as a gym."
Emme schwartz
"I started training at the Vault when I had just finished up my sixth grade middle school field hockey season. I realized I wanted to play year round, and I heard from a friend that the Vault is the perfect place to build up the basics and perfect your skills. I have had great experiences with all the coaches at the Vault, as each of them will help correct my skills to make me a better athlete. They are all so friendly and approachable, each of them giving great insight on things I am doing well and things I can improve upon. I have grown so much as a field hockey player and in my overall fitness because of the Vault"

"Training at BTN has added a lot of variety into my workouts with different stretching techniques, weight-lifting exercises, footwork, and different cardio options. It’s a great combination of fitness and field hockey and I love going in the off-season and working on different skills, receptions and shots especially getting to do that on astro-turf. It’s a great way to help prepare for both fall and spring, as it keeps my skills sharp and fitness high!”
