Residential Camp F.A.Qs
No specific level of ability is required. We just ask that all players bring the desire to learn and have fun. BGSA will help them reach the next level! All players should be prepared to play a lot of soccer and be in good physical condition for multiple trainings per day.
Registration for overnight players begins at 12:00pm on the 1st day of the program. All players are asked to check in at this time and the program begins immediately with the first of two training sessions. Parents are free to leave after our first meeting at 2:30pm or after you arrange your departure with the director on site.
The camp closes on the final day at 11:30 am and we dismiss from the fields. We ask the players to pack all of their belongings in the morning and leave them outside the dorms.

Our camps are heavily focused into improving each individual player, however, in the evenings (after 8:30pm) we understand the importance of allowing the players time to enjoy the camp by offering other social activities. We offer different activities each night of the week which include karaoke, ‘rock band’ competitions and time to explore downtown on the final night of camp. The high school programs are also offered an evening of lectures on playing soccer at the collegiate level.
U9-U13 PLAYERS: Karaoke Night, Talent Show, FIFA Tournament, Team Bonding (Night Downtown, Ice Cream Social), Movie Night, or Mini Golf
U14-U18 PLAYERS: College Preparation, FIFA Tournament, Movie Night/Quiz Night, Team Bonding (Night Downtown, Ice Cream Social), Team Tactical Night, or Mini Golf
Campers will be staying in dorm-style accommodations. We have rooms that can accommodate 2, 3 and/or 4 campers. You may request whom you would like to room with, and mutual requests are honored but there is NO GUARANTEE. If no request has been made, a roommate will be assigned to you based on your age. Rooming assignments are made one week prior to each camp session, changes made after that time cannot be guaranteed. We do our best to honor all requests. Be sure to bring single bed sheets, pillow, blanket, fan, and lamp. Campers are welcome to bring a cell phone (to use during free time only).

Campers eat in an on-campus cafeteria offering a variety of selections and unlimited portions. Lunchtime always offers a hot meal/salad bar/sandwich bar. Dinner always offers a hot meal/salad bar/pasta bar. A snack bar is available each night to provide snacks and drinks after the evening games. Participants in the summer program may also order pizza for the evening activities.
Before the residential program begins, each camper will be required to set up a "Canteen bank". (Suggested $60) The staff will keep track of the money spent by each camper which can be used to purchase snacks, drinks and order pizza. This money will also be used as a security deposit for the rooms in case of damage. Any money left over will be credited back to your credit card within two weeks following the end of your camp week. NO money is allowed on campus. If money is not placed in the CANTEEN your child will NOT participate in any of the evening events. (i.e. Ice Cream runs, mini golf, pizza etc)
A medical form/waiver is essential for your child to attend camp. This must be sent in no later than June 1st. If your child’s doctor’s appointment is scheduled for a date later than this, please email a copy prior to program date. Please be aware that the form must be filled out completely in order for your child to participate in camps.
