RYS WORLD CUP SUMMER CLINIC
Times
• Campers will be assigned to either Session I (4:30pm-5:45pm for some; 4:45pm-6:00pm for others) or Session II (6:15pm-7:30pm for some; 6:30pm-7:45pm for others).
• We'll do our best to keep rising Kindergartners and 1st graders to the earlier slots and rising 7th and 8th graders to the later slots, but players in the middle age range may be assigned to either slot based on numbers of participants, etc...
Format
• Camp is open to rising Kindergarten through rising 8th grade players
• Campers will be grouped with 1-2 coaches for the entire week
• Campers will be placed into age-appropriate, properly sized groups and remain with those same groups throughout the week.
• Groups will not interact with other groups, so all instruction, small-sided game play, and other activities will take place within the context of the child's group. While this restriction prevents us from many of our favorite camp activities, we've learned from our work at other camps this summer that the fun factor will not go away!
• We will divide campers into two sites (Rye Rec and Nursery), spread them out across multiple time blocks, and keep them for 1.25 hour each afternoon/evening.
Cost and Logistics
• $150 per camper for the week.
• If you've already registered and paid $275 for your first child and $250 for additional children, RYS will issue you credit towards the fall season.
Next Steps
• Register on the RYS website
• We'll reach out to you a few days before the start of camp to provide you with your exact time slot, location, and coaching assignment.
• We'll also provide you with a robust set of safety guidelines to ensure smooth drop-off, on-site experience, and pick-up.
Thank you for supporting our World Cup camp program. We are more excited than ever to get back on the field!
