CAMPER EVALUATION
Upon arrival, all participants are evaluated by the staff so that their own instructional needs can be addressed throughout the week. In addition, campers will be evaluated and then split up into smaller groups according to age and ability. Parents are invited to attend the closing ceremony! Departure immediately following.
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.
Registration Packet
A detailed camper registration packet containing check in location, health/release forms, emergency contact numbers, and a checklist of things to bring will be emailed to all registered campers in the Spring. The US Sports Camps health and release forms do not require a doctor's signature and they will be collected on the first day of camp.
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.
*Please note, this information is subject to change.

Loved all the feedback!
August 5, 2018: My daughter enjoyed meeting new friends, enjoyed the stations, and the most fun was playing 5 on 5 with her teammates. Coach Travis gave some great insight for taking a player to the hoop on Day 1. Loved all the positive feedback to the girls.

We will be back!
August 4, 2018: My daughter has played on a travel team for 5 years now. She is a solid player but she found this camp challenging and looked forward to attending everyday. She’s looking forward to attending camp next year. I also thought coach Travis along with all of his assistants did a wonderful job.

My daughter couldn't wait to go back.

Great for their self esteem!
July 30, 2016: One on one was fun and boosted him up. So nice to recognize teams and players at the end of the week. Great for their self esteem! No complaints and he was tired so he must have gotten some good running and conditioning in too!
