Our training Day Camps and Summer Camps are designed to maximize a 5-7 hour training environment. While we will break the day up with fun events, match play, etc, the point of the camp is to train. Our camps are NOT recommended for players new to the sport as the physical and mental demands are much higher than some of our classes.
OUR AGE POLICY WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED MOVING FORWARD. If you are under the minimum age the dates of the camp, YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO ATTEND. The only exceptions are approved Mentees who have proven they can interact and focus for a long period of higher level training expectations.
IF YOU RESERVE AND PAY FOR A SPOT FOR A PLAYER WHO IS NOT OF AGE AND IT IS NOT CANCELLED WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THE CAMP START TIME, YOU WILL NOT BE REFUNDED AS YOU HAVE TAKEN A SPOT FROM A PLAYER WHO MAY BE WAITING.
If you are unsure if your young player is fit to attend, ask yourself this one very important question:
Can they tie their own cleats? If the answer is no, then do not sign them up.
48 hours prior to Camp beginning, we will be going through enrollments and cancelling players who are signed up in the wrong age group, are not approved, or of age for the camp. Those families will be refunded upon that cancellation.
Our camps are very popular and fill up quickly. We often have waitlists, so be courteous to that fact.
Any bad sportsmanship or disciplinary behavior and your player will be removed from participating for the remainder of a camp day, no refund will be given.
