FAQ's

Less than 60 days before your camp
Refunds cannot be offered less than 60 days before the start of your camp. 

You can choose to exchange for Store Credit or defer to another Nationals Camp.

Injuries sustained before the camp:

We believe that The Nationals provides such a valuable experience both on and off the pitch, that attending with an injury can still be an incredible experience for a young goalkeeper. We'd be happy to accommodate injured goalkeepers and provide a top class experience.

If you cannot make it due to an injury obtained after the 60 Day date, a Medical Doctors Note must be provided in order to recieve your refund (minus the 25% admin fee)

Why do we have to apply?

This is a much smaller camp than our Nationals Spring and Summer events, so it's important that our Keepers are already at an advanced and similar level, so they can get the most from the training.

Our application form is easy and just allows us to determine of your child is at the correct ability level required for this camp

When do we hear back from the application?

After applying, Martin will be in touch within 5 working days to confirm whether you are the right fit for this camp.

We will then provide a unique link to the camp to complete the purchase, with a booking form to complete after with dietary requirements, etc.

What is the accommodation like?

The accommodation is a Twin Room at the Hilton Belfry near Thame, Oxfordshire.

It is approximately 10 minutes from the training pitch.

Do we have to share a room?

No, 1 room is allocated per goalkeeper

Is transport from the hotel to training provided?

There will be minibus transfers available from the hotel to training, for anyone who needs it.

Parents are welcome to drive from the hotel to training. This also gives parents the flexibility to go to and from training rather than watching the whole session

Am I too old/young?

This camp is for Keepers playing at a good level, either in Mens/Womens Football already, or aiming to reaching that level as a youngster.

We've had keepers aged 15-45 on this event, and most ages in between.

For the younger Keepers, it's an incredible experience to learn from those playing adult football already. For the older keepers, working with younger keepers can keep you at the top of your game.

Ability levels will be high across the whole group, but there will also be small group sessions based on ability
