Directors Note to Campers

"We are so excited to be back on the fields coaching and connecting with our athletes this Summer. We are eager to bring back a fantastic coaching staff motivated to teach and share their passion for the sport of field hockey. We are equally excited to say that our residential part of camp is back and was a huge success last year. We enjoy bringing teams together for pre-season bonding!

I have been teaching and coaching for over 26 years and the best part of camp is watching our coaches teach and share their love of the game with our campers. We believe when our athletes gain confidence and see improvements, they will be inspired to continue to work hard and improve their skills and knowledge of the game." - Laura Galopim

TEAM DISCOUNT

If you have a group of eight or more campers registering for the same camp, each camper is eligible for a discount. Please have someone contact the US Sports Camps office at 1-800-645-3226 with the names of each camper in the group and we will create a unique discount code for your group. Campers may then register individually through the website at their convenience and apply the offer code during check out. *Discount amount varies by program. Please call for details.

SCHOLARSHIPS

We cannot offer scholarships due to NCAA regulations. Our affiliation with NCAA coaches and schools puts us in a position where any scholarship money can be seen as an inducement to a future collegiate athlete. This puts our coaches and our host universities in jeopardy of damaging their status with the NCAA and incurring penalties at the hands of their organizing body.

Camps are open to any and all entrants, limited only by number, age, grade level and/or gender.

Parents have the right to review camp procedures on background checks, health care, discipline policies, and grievance procedures upon request.

430.190 (c)

This camp must comply with the regulations of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and be licensed by the local board of health.
