Q: Who will we play? A: We use several factors in building the camp schedule. First, we attempt to match your team against opponents of equal ability. Next, we schedule you against teams who you normally do not see during the regular season. And finally, we allow teams traveling the greatest distance to play later on Friday, while teams who are commuting to and from camp on Friday; we have finish earlier in the day. Q: Can we bring more than one team? A: Yes and we encourage schools to do so by scheduling your teams to play at the same locations and during similar times. Q: Do you have a separate division for junior varsity and junior high teams. A: No. We have found it to be more convenient for you if we do not. Because it is easier to keep all of your teams together. Many of the smaller schools are very competitive with some of the larger schools sub varsity teams. Saturday’s tournament is bracketed by ability and your younger teams will be put in divisions where they are competitive. Q: Is one camp better for a small school to attend. A. All camps are of about the same level of talent. We are confident that we can arrange a competitive schedule for your team regardless of which week you attend. Q: How much will this camp cost my athletes? A: Most Coaches tell us that they can bring a player to camp for under $65. This would cover the cost of the entry fee of approximately $25 per player (dependent upon how many players you bring), $15 for lodging (four in a room) and $25 for food (not steak, but food like teenagers like, i.e., pizza and hamburgers!) This total could be less if you commute to camp, bring a picnic lunch with you and other such money saving techniques. Some coaches will charge the athletes an extra fee to help pay for gas and the coach’s expenses. Q: What about multi-team discounts? A. If you enter more than one team in a camp, or if you attend multiple camps during the summer, we will provide you with $30 worth of free coupons to purchase camp attire, for each additional team you enter. Q: Can this camp serve as a team bonding experience. A: Absolutely, and we encourage you to treat it as such. This is an inexpensive way for your team to bond in a competitive fun filled way. Q: What types of activities are available? A: At our Rolla camps, we host a Friday Night swim party for all the players and coaches. This is a good way for your players to meet kids from other schools and for coaches to socialize. Also, many teams in the past have taken advantage of this area’s many fine floating streams by staying over on Saturday night and participating in a team float trip on Sunday. We can secure for you a special rate with one of the areas many outfitters, if you so desire. Q: How do I know this camp will be as good of an experience as you say? A: Talk to any of the coaches who have attended in the past. If any of them tell you this is not a good camp, then don’t come. We are confident that the feedback you receive will be positive. There is a reason why 576 of your fellow coaches decided attend last summer. Q: How will we get our schedules? A: All our our schedules and coaches packets are posted online approximately 5-7 days before camp. With camps as large as ours, there will obviously be constant changes to the schedules. Coaches have the convenience of the World Wide Web in checking scheduling updates. Your coach’s online packet will contain all of the information you need; schedules direction, rules and other pertinent camp information. www.lickingcamps.com will provide you with all of the camp communication needed. Q: At What time would we play on Friday? A: It depends on how far you have to travel. Teams traveling a great distance have the option of arriving Thursday evening and playing early on Friday, the advantage being that they will also be finished early on Friday; or you can travel on Friday morning and not play until late afternoon. Q: What if I have other questions? A: Call or e-mail anytime. |
