HEALTH & RELEASE FORMS
All registered campers are required to have a parent or legal guardian fill out US Sports Camps’ mandatory Health & Release Forms online before arrival at camp. This camp does NOT require a doctor's signature on the forms.
INFORMATION PACKET
A detailed Information Packet containing check-in location and address, on-site staff contact information, a checklist of things to bring, site-specific forms, and more will be emailed to all registered campers prior to camp. To check if your Information Packet is ready, click here.
PEACE OF MIND POLICY
At US Sports Camps, we hope you will not have to cancel your enrollment in camp. If you do though, there are options. For details on our Cancellation Policy, including cancellations of camp by US Sports Camps, please visit: www.ussportscamps.com/peace-of-mind-policy
TRANSPORTATION
Transportation is not provided by the camp to or from any airports. If you are flying to or from camp, we recommend using an airport shuttle service. Please schedule flights as close as you can to the check-in times on the first day and check-out times on the last day.
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.

The overall experience helped her realize how important it is to put in the hard work to be successful
June 13, 2021: The overall experience helped her realize how important it is to put in the hard work to be successful. She loves to be around the other children and most of all I think she enjoyed seeing other campers like her doing the same.

Constructive feedback was given

I have to believe in myself
June 30, 2019: Damien told me that he enjoyed the camp and he learned new skills. One thing that he shared with me was "I have to believe in myself". This is what Damien was told by the coach. This statement is very true because, in order to succeed in anything, you have to first believe in yourself and have a positive mindset. At the end of camp, he received a form that contained information on things that he had done for that week. He can look back at this form so that he can stay on the right track.

He enjoyed the classroom sessions a lot
June 29, 2019: According to Joshua, he enjoyed the classroom sessions a lot because he liked hearing from the coaching staff about their experience playing basketball and their love for the game. He liked the motivational speeches given during class time and instruction about the fundamentals of the game. To him, this time was very valuable. As a parent, I thought the short research assignments that they received was a thoughtful component to camp. To become a better player, you have to become a student of the game on and off the court. One evening, my son spent 2 to 3 hours watching a documentary about the 1992 Olympic Dream Team. Good stuff!!! I shared with him that the 1992 Olympic squad made everyone love the game of basketball even more.
