Frequently Asked Questions
Cancellation Policy and No-Shows
Because we rent the facilities, we pre-purchase our rentals based on enrollment. If you have to cancel, for any reason, you can receive a camp voucher worth all camp fees paid. You can use this voucher for any other available camps and programs. Cancellations must be made 7 days prior to the beginning of camp to be eligible for a voucher. Be aware, if you cancel, we cannot refund your credit card and can only offer you the opportunity to use all your monies for any other available camps. Refunds or credits will not be given for “no-shows” or for those who leave camp early for any reason.
How are players grouped?
The players are grouped according to age first then ability (if enough participants in the age group to create multiple different group level). When the students first arrive at camp, they are placed into a group consisting of other students of the same age within the program. From there the staff evaluates the ability level of each individual over the first 2 training sessions and adjusts the groups according to ability.
What if we can't attend all the sessions?
This skills program teaches players specific techniques for ball control, footwork, and creative play. If your child misses a session, our trainers will work to make sure the player is caught up and learns the technique/topic for that particular week. Credit can be given for more than 3 misses sessions to make the sessions at a later date.
Can students show up late for camp?
The beginning of each camp is very important. Campers go through registration, meet the staff, and conduct the general camp orientation; all that before they even step on the field for the first session. **The first two training sessions also serve as ability evaluations and determine grouping for the rest of the program.** However, if a student will not be able to make the beginning of camp, please email us ahead of time to let us know that he will be late. There are no refunds or partial refunds for late arrival to any camp
Refund Policy
Because we rent the facilities (and our camps often sell out) we pre-purchase our rentals based on enrollment. Refunds are not given (except in very unique circumstances and by approval of the director). If you have to cancel, for any reason, you can receive a camp voucher worth all camp fees paid. You can use this voucher for any other available camps and programs. Vouchers never expire.
What if my child is not happy with their group?
Our camps are unique in that we follow a specific training plan that helps each player get the most out of their experience. Our trainers and director may identify an opportunity for your child to be challenged and move them into another group where they may not be comfortable.
Your child may be uncomfortable with their group, but we believe they can power through and find the lesson for growth as a player and a person! We want your player to have fun and boost their confidence through our camps!
Are there prorated fees?
Our camps are designed to help players improve their soccer skills and have a great social experience. For that reason we discourage drop-ins or pro-rated fees for our camps. Due to the facility costs, there are no pro-rate options, however, if you miss more than 3 days, and notify us ahead of time, you will receive a credit voucher at the end of the camp of $50 to apply to any other camp or private training.
