DIRECTORS NOTE TO CAMPERS

"My staff members and I are thrilled to be able to welcome a larger group of campers to F&M in 2024! We are excited to be able to offer an overnight option this summer. Going into our fourth year with US Sports Camps, I am confident that we can create a fun and dynamic camp atmosphere that will serve both our beginner and intermediate campers. One of my favorite parts of coaching is getting to teach the game and help players acquire confidence in their skills. We had a wonderful group in the summer of 2023 and can't wait to get started with our 2024 camp in July!" - Mary Kate Salko

TEAM/GROUP DISCOUNTS

If you have a group of eight or more campers registering for the same camp, each camper is eligible for a discount. Please have someone contact the US Sports Camps office at 1-800-645-3226 with the names of each camper in the group and we will create a unique discount code for your group. Campers may then register individually through the website at their convenience and apply the offer code during check out. *Discount amount varies by program. Please call for details.

SCHOLARSHIPS

We cannot offer scholarships due to NCAA regulations. Our affiliation with NCAA coaches and schools puts us in a position where any scholarship money can be seen as an inducement to a future collegiate athlete. This puts our coaches and our host universities in jeopardy of damaging their status with the NCAA and incurring penalties at the hands of their organizing body.

Camps are open to any and all entrants, limited only by number, age, grade level and/or gender.
