FAQ

WHEN AND WHERE CAN I CHECK MY CHILD IN FOR CAMP?

Campers can begin checking in for camp at the check in tent. Check in begins 30 minutes prior to the start of camp. Welcome packets will be handed out at check in.

MY CHILD IS SIGNED UP FOR A SUMMER CAMP, WHAT SHOULD THEY BRING TO CAMP WITH THEM?

Sunscreen, Pumped ball – write name & phone, Full water bottle, Shin guards – required to be worn at all times on the field, and we recommend bringing a few snacks

HOW ARE KIDS PLACED IN GROUPS DURING SUMMER PERFORMANCE CAMPS?

For best camp dynamics, groups will be pre-set Sunday based on past participation and registration comments. All groups will be evaluated and assessed for best cohesion throughout Monday via 1 v 1, Moves, First Touch, and Dribbling Tests, and coaches recommendations.

Our placement system, which we’ve now used for over 25,000 players, groups Campers into teams with others of similar ability and experience. Please keep in mind that this is a skills camp, and a player who is much stronger or weaker than the others on a team will not get the most out of the camp in that setting. Nor will the others in a team with players of widely differing abilities.

When registering, please accurately fill out the number of Coerver camps attended for accuracy of groupings in camps. At camp players will go through three different evaluations on Monday that reassures the group assignment.

All changes will be made Monday, and in special cases players will be moved Tuesday morning. We have a very thorough system for ensuring each player is placed in the correct group, and will therefore get the most out of our skills camp.

CAN I REQUEST MY CHILD BE PLACED IN A GROUP WITH A FRIEND OR TEAMMATE(S)?

We do not accept special requests for grouping assignments. While we are happy that players and their friends or teammates have registered for the same week of camp (if only to help you out to carpool), Coerver Performance Camp is a skills camp and we want to ensure the most growth and development for every player.

Our placement system groups campers into teams with others of similar ability and experience. As mentioned above, this is a skills camp, and a player who is much stronger or weaker than the others on a team will not get the most out of the camp in that setting. Nor will the others in a team with players of widely differing abilities.

Assignment begins by separating the camp by age into groups of about 12. We consider returning players to be “a year older” in this initial grouping. So most Teams start with the younger campers being returnees, the older campers the new ones.

Some factors that go into placing your child into a group include: age, previous Coerver Camp experience, and Camp Challenge results (if child is a repeat camper). Coerver camps include several activities to help kids get to know one another, and create a welcoming environment for them to build friendships. Because of our desire to advance every player, we cannot move players to different groups unless recommended by their coach through evaluations. At camp players will go through three different evaluations on Monday that reassures the group assignment.

WHERE DO I FIND THE REFUND POLICY FOR THE PROGRAM I’M SIGNED UP FOR?

Programs each note their refund policy at the bottom of each of their pages.

I MISSED A FEW DAYS OF MY CAMP/PROGRAM, CAN I GET IT PRORATED?

Unfortunately, we cannot prorate our programs. We understand every now and then a player will miss one day of camp. Although we encourage each player to attend all 4/5 days, we understand things come up. If you cannot attend at least 3 days of camp, it may be best to wait and sign up for a different week of camp that better fits your schedule.

THE CAMP I WANT TO ATTEND IS SOLD OUT, IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO GET IN IT?

Every now and then we will have slots open up due to players switching camps or dropping out last minute. If this happens, we contact people in order on the wait list for that camp to fill the spot(s). If the camp you greatly wish to attend is sold out, please email support@coervernw.com and or call us at 206-243-3984 to add your name to its wait list.

CAN I SWITCH MY CHILD FROM CAMP TO CAMP DURING THE SUMMER?

Each camper is allowed to switch to a different camp one time. If you are switching to another camp, it must be done at least 7 days before the first day of both camps. Changes are dependent on availability. Please call 206-243-3984 to switch camps.

CAN MY CHILD REFILL THEIR WATER AT CAMP?

Yes! We have water available on site, and coaches stop for water breaks frequently throughout the day.

MY CHILD HAS A MEDICAL CONDITION AND I WOULD LIKE TO LEAVE SOMETHING WITH THE TRAINER. HOW CAN I DO THAT?

When you check in on the first day of camp, let the staff member know. They will link you up with the trainer. Please bring your items in a zip-lock bag (or container) with your campers name and number on it.

WILL THERE BE SHADE?

We have multiple canopies and most of the camp locations also have some shaded area, however, we cannot always know how much shade will be available. We encourage campers to visit available shade during snack break.
