Elite Camp FAQ's

What's the refund policy?

14 Day Cooling Off Period
Any order can be cancelled within 14 days for a full refund as per EU regulations. Email info@thenationals.co.uk to begin the refund process

After the 14 Day Cooling Off Period - 60 days before the booked camp
Refunds can be offered at 75% between the above dates. A 25% admin fee is taken off your refund due to costs and deposits paid by The Nationals as part of your booking. 

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)

Do parents have to attend?

Yes - 1 parent must accompany their goalkeeper.

We unfortunately cannot host 2 parents as we have twin rooms booked for this event. Other parents and family members would be welcome to watch training, but not included in the other activities.

What is the accommodation like?

The accommodation is a Twin Room within the hotel

Do we have to share a room?

Goalkeeper and parent must share a room together

How will different abilities be split?

For smaller sessions with the coaches, we will assess ability and age when grouping goalkeepers.

Rest assured our biggest priority is on high quality training for this Elite Camp.

How do I know if I'm at the right level to attend?

If you're playing at a good level in your age group between ages 8-14, please do consider this camp!
