COVID-19 UPDATES & PRECAUTIONS

Despite a challenging 2020 Summer season, we managed to deliver camps safely and effectively to
over fourteen-hundred children across the midwest.

We learnt many lessons but none more important than fresh air, physical activity, and social interaction are paramount to keeping children healthy: physically and mentally.

We don't know what Summer 2021 will hold but we do know that we'll be planned and prepared to bring a safe and structured camp experience to your child. In the run-up to Summer we will keep ourselves abreast of all guidance from the CDC, the State Dept. of Public Health and the State Youth Soccer Association to ensure we are compliant with all published guidelines.

We do know that many families will still be nervous about sending their child to a group setting, so we'll plan to offer a distanced camp experience for anyone that would like that option.

At this stage, we can guarantee a couple things to ease your mind:

1. Similar to 2020, we will offer a no-questions-asked refund policy on all of our camps. This guarantees a full refund of your camp fee up to seven days prior to the beginning of camp.

2. We will continue to use separate entry and check-in points for each group.

3. We will not allow any interaction between groups within the camp outside of their competition groups.

4. We will ask all parents to comply with a health screener and code of conduct pertaining to their child's health.

5. All camps will have sanitation measures in-place: abundant hand sanitizer, regularly cleaned equipment, coach health checks.

6. P2 Soccer training will abide by the local health authorities regulations pertaining to youth sports at the time of any given camp/program.
