Is it okay if my player comes without a friend or sibling?Yes! One of the most common statements parents make to me after the camp is how happy they are that their normally shy/introverted child enjoyed the camp so much and made new friends. We hire coaches that are not only technically proficient, but they also are encouraging and the environment is welcoming for average players all the way up to elite players. One of our players traveled from Michigan to Indiana twice and the players parents posted on Google and Facebook that everyone made her child feel welcome. He made new friends and thoroughly enjoyed the goal scoring camp experience. We believe an encouraging environment brings the best out of players.
