Frequently Asked Questions
What happened to the International/British Soccer Camp?
Nothing has changed, we have just relabeled our main camp offering! The Core Camp is the International Soccer Camp....or if you used to enjoy our camps pre-pandemic, the British Soccer Camp.
How does the Core Camp 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 Core Camps is our most popular program, aimed at the younger player looking for a day camp experience in the summer months. We also offer Core+ Camps and Elite Camps. These are aimed at players looking for an alternative Challenger experience, or those who are ready to start an Elite Player Pathway.
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 camp 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 week for your child.
Should I sign up early?
Wherever financially viable, we would advise you to sign up as early as possible. Obviously most people would say this, but for us, given our international aspect of planning and logistics, it really helps us to have a clearer idea of how many registrations we will have at each site. Therefore we offer the following early sign up incentives:
- Early Bird Pricing
- Early Registration Replica Jersey (free minus s/h if you sign up early enough!)
- Guaranteed place on camp
Kristina- I can produce many more of these, perhaps less salesly but rather 'boring' as focus on logistics, registration, terms and conditions etc.
