1. What does a typical camp day schedule look like?

* Camp starts out with morning skill sessions in their age groups.  In these sessions they focus on skill work and possibly use games to reinforce the skill instruction.  The camp breaks for water periodically throughout the morning.  Coach’s testimonies are presented during those times as well.  Lunch and bible time are in the middle of the camp day.  During this time we try to have the kids in the shade and resting.  The afternoon session consists of tournament games.  The campers are mixed from their original morning groups and put onto teams that will compete throughout the week.  -  Back to Top  

* We would prefer them not to because we have found that a full day is too much for kids of this age.  If you believe you have a special scenario please call us and we’ll work it out over the phone.  If we feel that they are too young to handle it after the first day, we will recommend changing it for the rest of the week.                    -  Back to Top

* Campers are placed in groups by age.  If they are the same age, they will already be put into the same group.  If they are different ages, please find the camp director on Monday morning during registration to make special requests.  The groupings cannot be changed here from the office.  -  Back to Top  

* The campers are grouped by age to begin.  They will remain in that group for the first day.  The coaches are good at challenging kids at their own level and players at any skill level need to practice fundamentals.  If the coach feels they should be in a different group for an additional challenge, that can be arranged come Tuesday.    -  Back to Top

* Ages range from 5-14.  Each camp varies with regard to how many older campers (12-14 years old) register.  If your child is on the older end and plays at a competitive level our elite camp is probably a better option.  -  Back to Top   

* Soccer camp is held outside and we do the best we can to hold camp there regardless of the weather.  There is a hotline number (704) 841-8644 x 43 you can call to check for camp cancellation if the rain is severe.  At some facilities we are able to go indoors but some we cannot so it is a game-time decision.  We typically try to wait out the rain.  If we HAVE to cancel, there will be a rain make-up day at the end of the summer to give the campers the missed day of camp.  There is a link to our full rain day policy online.  -  Back to Top  

* We know some summer days are very hot and at time there are even heat advisories.  We do our best to give the kids shade as often as possible and water breaks are constant on those hot days.  We do not cancel camp for heat but we do try our best to make it as comfortable as we can.  -  Back to Top  

* YES!  Our elite camp is held at Beatty Park.  It is for players ages 10-17 that play at the classic or challenge levels.  Campers have the option of choosing a focus in goalkeeping, finishing, or 101 moves at camp.  -  Back to Top       

* For the older campers we keep it at a 12:1 ratio.  For the younger campers we keep it at a 8:1 ratio.  -  Back to Top                                             

* Our staff takes care of your children in a God-honoring manner.  We share stories and lessons from the Bible daily.  Our coaches each share their personal testimonies of how God changed their lives.  We seek excellence in all that we do as a way of honoring God.  -  Back to Top                                                                          

* We put on a quality camp with current professional players as coaches.  Additionally, we are a non-profit missions organization.  Some camp funds go to help support the overall mission locally and internationally.   -  Back to Top                   

* We do not offer various discounts because we have decided to use the grant money to help children that can’t afford camp at all through our scholarship program.                  -  Back to Top

* Once you are registered, your deposit is non-refundable.  If you have paid in full we can refund the remaining money after the deposit is withheld.  -  Back to Top
