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)
I'm worried about my child staying overnight
Since starting The Nationals in 2022, we've seen many young children have concerns & worries on day 1, with parents deciding to stay locally overnight just incase they get the call! We're proud that so far, every child has stayed the night, and by night 2 are absolutely loving the experience away from parents! For some, it's a huge milestone and achievement, and we make sure we recognise that. Many of the younger kids come away with a sense of pride and added confidence which is incredible to see.
If you're still worried, contact us and we'll be happy to answer any other questions to ease your concerns
What is the booking process?
After booking a place on The Nationals, you will be sent a quick information form with your order confirmation.
Here, you'll be asked any key information about your child, like allergies, disabilities, emergency contact number etc.
We'll also ensure we have their name, age and gender so we can begin planning their group & room to ensure we can provide the best and most seamless check in experience.
What is the accommodation like?
Find everything you need to know about the venue here
Do we have to share a room?
Accommodation available to us are all 2, 3 and 4 bed rooms. We ensure that keepers are roomed together in the most appropriate way. Of course, there are no mixed gender rooms, and keepers are roomed together based on age and the groups they are likely to be put in during training, so a rapport between roommates will already be built.
If you have a strong desire to be roomed on your own, please contact us. Whilst we cannot guarantee we can accommodate this request, we will do our best, to make sure you feel comfortable.
How will different abilities be split?
We're passionate about providing an incredible coaching experience, so we'll always ensure groups sizes are kept small, with a coach:player ratio between 1:8-15.
Initially, we'll split these by age groups. However we're vigilant during the first few sessions to move players around to ensure they get the maximum benefit over the camp by matching their ability to the correct group.
