Parents,

Thank God dead period is over! Here is some important information regarding the camp at Lindsey Wilson.
All players attending should meet at 6:50 am behind Greenwood. We will leave at 7 am sharp! I’m attaching an email I received from the Camp Director. Please let me know if you have any questions.See below:

Coach Llontop

Coaches: I hope all is well!

I just want to touch base to inform you about a few important things for the upcoming camp so you can share this info with your players. We are really looking forward to have you guys on our campus for a great week of intensive training and competition. If you sharing this info with your players is an issue because of the dead period, please, let me know that I’ll be glad to send this to a parent or team administrator who can share this with the players.

Check-in is on Tuesday July 10th between 8:00 and 9:00 am at Richardson Hall (see link for directions below). We want to have the check-in process finalized by 9:00 am, as we intend to have the camp opening ceremony at 9:20 am. The camp ceremony is going to be held at the Biggers Sports Center. At the check-in we will provide you with a practice and scrimmage schedules for your team. Your first training session will follow the opening ceremony. Please note that your first meal in the camp is lunch on Tuesday and your last meal is breakfast on Friday. Check-out will take place on Friday July 13th starting at noon. PLEASE NOTE LWC IS ON CT ZONE.

At the check-in, we will need to get your paperwork if you haven’t sent us that yet (registration forms and camp balances). Paperwork includes release of liability (see attachment), which is additional to the registration form. Coaches: It’d great if you could provide us with a rooming list for your team in the next few days. Also, we ask that you provide us with the t-shirt sizes for your team ASAP. Please, have your players listed in groups of two, even though we will likely have rooms fitting two and four players.

Players and coaches need to bring bed linens, pillows, and towels. There will be washers and dryers available in the dormitory area for those who need to do laundry. Each player is responsible for bringing their soccer gear (for four days including indoor shoes), soccer ball, and water bottle. Also, during the week players will have the opportunity to swim in our indoor pool so they are welcome to bring swimming shorts. It’s up to each camper to bring any type of sound system, alarm clock, video-games, cell phones, snacks, etc. The rooms have wireless access so players and coaches are welcome to bring their laptops. If a player needs to take any medication during the course of the week, please, make sure you make those arrangements with your team administrator. We will have a athletic trainer on campus at all times for camp related injuries.

Players will be served three meals per day but it’s very common for campers to order extra food so feel free to bring some money for that reason. We also have vending machines around campus.This year there are no refrigerators or microwaves allowed in the dorm rooms.

Remind the players to keep up with their key because there is an $85.00 fee for lost dorm room keys. Keys will be collected by the coach at the end of camp and returned to our camp administrator Cindy Wells where check-in was held. Also, remind all soccer players that they are not to be kicking or throwing the soccer balls once inside the dorms. Damage to the ceiling tiles or anything else must be paid for before you leave camp. Please let us know when these things happen so we can get the problem fixed along with a price of what it will cost.

Some of the weekly training sessions will be held at the Lindsey Wilson Athletic Facilities located 5 minutes off campus. We will provide the transportation from the dorms to the fields and back to the dorms. Teams are welcomed to use their own vehicles in case they are keeping their buses on campus. Players are absolutely prohibited from driving their own vehicles off campus during the week.

Last, on Friday 7/13 at 11:00 am we will have our amp closing ceremony at the football stadium. Following that, we will promote our annual All-Star game, which features the top 33 campers (selected by the coaches during the week) playing against a team of coaches. Parents are welcomed and encouraged to arrive a little earlier to watch the game.

I think this is it for now. I’ll touch base again if things come up. Let me know if you have any questions.

Take care!
