What is the refund/cancellation policy?
Refund Policy:  A $100.00 NONREFUNDABLE Deposit is required to secure a spot at summer camp.  There will be NO REFUNDS on or after the first day of camp.  All balances must be paid in FULL ONE WEEK prior to the start of the camp date.  Those registering within two weeks of the start of camp must pay in FULL.  

Refund Procedures- There are NO refunds ONE week prior to the start of the camp.  All non-deposit refund requests must be submitted in writing via email.  Refunds may be available for an extended illness of five of more consecutive program days.  A doctor's note and explanation of the situation must be received within two working days from the first absence. Upon review, participants may receive a $25/day refund for the unused days.

Refunds are not available for vacations, special events, short-term illnesses of four days or fewer, or other personal commitments that prevent attendance.

We reserve the right to revoke the registration of any child who consistently disrupts normal activities.  While this is a rare occurrence, it is important to note that consistent disruptions diminish the experience of the other participants.  No refund will be made if a child is dismissed from the program.
 
Transfers:  Due to administrative costs, a $15 fee is charged for transferring between sessions per child, per session.  The transfer fee must be paid at the time the request is made.  Transfers are based on space availability and are made at the discretion of the Syracuse Soccer Camp Staff.  Children may give their spots only to siblings or stepsiblings.  Programs are not transferable to anyone outside the immediate family.

Is there transportation to and from the airport?
Unfortunately we do not offer transportation to and from the airport.

What happens if there is bad weather?
If it rains, is overcast, humid, hot... we expect to continue having our training sessions. We always train. As soccer is played in all weather, we train in all weather.

However, if the weather becomes dangerous (lightning, high winds, floods, extreme heat, etc.) we will move the campers to Manley Field House.  Manley Field House is located next to the SU Soccer Stadium and is a sports turf facility.

If we have to cancel a day due to weather, just like in previous years, we will offer make up dates for the days missed.  The safety of our campers and their families is our top priority.

We also advise you visit the Syracuse Soccer Camp website where there will be daily postings, updates, and information addressing any weather issues especially if the extreme weather hits close to pick up or drop off time. 

What do I bring to camp?
All campers will be required to wear the necessary equipment required to play in a real game, that means wearing shinguards, socks, and cleats at all times when training. Also strongly encouraged is for each camper to bring their own squeeze bottle, an extra t-shirt, money for snacks, and running shoes.

Also, please make sure that each camper is dressed weather appropriately which means being prepared for the sun and rain! Please be sure to include sunblock and a rain jacket.
