Q. How do you run the camp with a wider range of age groups & abilities?

A. Players are put into groups according to their age, and our instructors make the necessary adjustments so that all players get the most out of the camp. Our goal is that all players will be challenged according to their own abilities.

Q. How many players come to your camps?

A. It really depends on the location and the facility for that camp. Two day camps and clinics are generally 50 players or less. With these camps, we aim to keep the numbers low so we can provide small group and one-on-one instruction.

Our weeklong camps are generally between 100-150 campers. These camps feature scrimmage games as a key part of the camp experience, so there needs to be enough campers to build rosters for each camp team.
