Here is a list of questions which parents may have regarding our camp along with Kentucky Youth Soccer Association expectations of parents.

How are the students grouped during training?

The students are grouped according to age in groups no bigger than 12 students and one staff coach. When the students first arrive at camp they will be placed into a group consisting of other students of the same age within the program. From there the staff will evaluate the talent of each individual over the first 2 training sessions and adjust the groups according to ability. For example, if there is a student within a group who demonstrates ability above the rest of the group, then he/she will be moved into a higher ability/older age group ONLY IF the child desires.

What equipment does my child need to wear/bring to camp?

All students will be required to wear the necessary equipment required to play in a real game.

• Soccer Cleats (which are broken in, new cleats can give you blisters)
• Sneakers
• Shin-Guards
• T-Shirt, Shorts & Socks
• A warm-up suit and/or rain gear
• Plenty of water or sports drinks (No Soda)
• Bug Spray and Sun Block
• Snacks

What happens if it rains at camp?

If it rains we will still train, however if the weather becomes dangerous (lightning, high winds, extreme heat, etc.) then each facility has options to take appropriate shelter or some may have alternate training facilities.

Can parents watch during camp?

Parents are welcome to watch their children at camp but must allow the coaching staff to run the sessions and your child to interact with the group. On the final day of the recreational camp parents are welcome to attend to watch the games and presentations.

Do the players receive an evaluation?

Each player who attends a Select/Elite Player Camp will receive an honest written evaluation from their staff coach with a score on each area covered by the curriculum from the week.

Can players leave during camp or leave camp early?

Players can not leave camp until a parent or guardian has signed their child out with the child’s staff coach. If a child is been picked up by another adult, written permission must be provided to the camp director allowing that person to sign the child out of camp. Parents are required to be at the field at least 15 minutes prior to the session is due to end.
