Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Foundational Skills Camps differ to the other camps you run?
All of Challenger’s camps are staffed by a team of international coaches who are selected and trained specifically to give your child the best possible camp experience. Our Foundational Skills Camps is our most popular program, aimed at players aged 6-12, and looking to improve technical skills whilst providing a unique cultural experience. We channel our energy and passion for the game into a fun yet developmental environment.
What gear will my child need to bring to camp?
If your camp package included a ball, this will be given out at the first session – please bring this each day, along with plenty of water. If your program did not include a ball, please bring one with you. If you are unsure, then please bring a ball on the first day just to be safe.
We also recommend that you apply sunblock before camp if applicable, and if your child is there for a longer period of time, that they have some available to reapply.
Shin guards are required for all children attending camp for at least 3 hours OR 6 years of age or older. If your camp is outdoor and your child has cleats, they can wear them, but they are not mandatory. Athletic clothing and shoes are recommended.
What happens if there is bad weather?
Should we experience bad weather, you may reach out to your local camp contact, whose information can be located in your camp reminder email. Camp will be postponed or cancelled if conditions are dangerous (thunder/lightning). No athlete will be left unattended. Refunds will not be given for time lost due to inclement weather.
We will communicate make up plans both in person to parents at camp and via email. We understand that sometimes it can take parents a while to organize pick up plans if for whatever reason we need to cancel a day of camp completely. We will make every effort to make up time lost to bad weather however should the camp not be completed in its entirety refunds will not be provided.
What is the difference between a Challenger camp and other camps in general?
All of Challenger’s camps are staffed by a team of international coaches who are selected and trained specifically to give your child the best possible experience. Each of our curriculums have been created to maximize your child’s contact with the ball and provide the maximum opportunity to learn. In addition to serious coaching, we weave in just the right amount of fun and cultural education to make this a magical event for your child.
Should I sign up early?
We would advise you to sign up as early as possible.
