4 Am I required to bring my own equipment to camp?

All campers must provide their own lacrosse stick and necessary protective equipment. A detailed registration packet with all additional items will be sent out to all registered campers prior to camp.

5 In order to attend one of the elite camps, must I be a member of my Varsity team?

Our elite lacrosse camps are recommended and geared for players that have Varsity experience and meet the stated age requirements. These camps will focus more on advanced skills, position play, team concepts and an overall intense level of competition.

6 I have never played lacrosse before, is camp a good place for me to be introduced to the sport?

Our complete skills camps are geared for campers of all ability levels. At camp, campers will be evaluated and will then be grouped according to age and ability. If you are a first time lacrosse player, camp could be a good way to start to learn the game of lacrosse and gain some experience before trying out for your local lacrosse team. As a reminder, all campers must provide their own equipment.

7 I am a goalie; will I get specific goalie instruction?

Yes, in addition to participating in all drills and scrimmages, specific goalie instruction will be provided by our defensive staff.

8 What are the differences between overnight, extended day, and day camps?

Overnight Camps: Experience everything Nike Soccer Camps has to offer! Our overnight camps include soccer instruction, fun evening activities, all meals, and on-campus housing.

Extended Day Camps: Ideal for commuter campers looking for the full camp experience. Includes 7+ hours of daily soccer instruction, lunch, dinner, and evening activities. Extended Day camps typically run from 9am-8pm or 9pm daily.

Day Camps: Day Camps offer the same great instruction and games as our Overnight Camps, but allows campers to return home after a hard day’s work. Day camps typically run from 9am-3pm or 4pm daily.

9 Do you offer discounts if our entire team wants to come to camp?

Yes! If five or more campers register together, each camper is eligible for a $25 discount. Please have a team contact reach out directly to the USSC office at 1-800-645-3226 to receive a discount code to identify your group. Campers may then register through the website at their convenience and apply the coupon code during check-out.

10 Do you offer scholarships?

Unfortunately, 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.
