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.

I have more questions!

Head to our Parents Portal where we provide answers to even more Frequently Asked Questions.

Great GK camp. My 11yr old came from New York and loved it. Learnt some new things he has just used at his academy training

The pre & camp information was extremely clear setting out the objectives and expectations of the...

The Haileybury College is a fantastic base with impressive facilities. The House Masters settled our nervous child and reassured us that all was well. The coaches were positive, fun and encouraging. It was a privilege to be able to watch my son doing what he loved, in a safe and supportive environment. He had the best time and had come away with an improved holistic view of goalkeeping and wants to do the week next year!

Our son loved every minute!!!

We were a little apprehensive of how he would be, being away from home for a whole week but this didn't phase him one bit.
He would tell us every evening what he did that day, the friends he's made, the food he was eating then before we had chance to ask him another question he would shout bye, I'm going now to be with my mates.
Obviously we sent him for goalkeeper training with top coaches to help him improve and we've already seen those improvements in the short time he's been away from the camp, but above all else the interactions he's had with people from various countries and friendships he has made have made the nationals not just about goalkeeping but a camp that have taught him many more life lessons which he can take forward.
Thank you!

The Nationals was fantastic

I could see my young goalie growing in confidence as the event went on and he’s been talking about it ever since. The coaches were excellent and the venue was perfect. We were really looking forward to it and it exceeded our expectations.
