PACKING LIST Resident campers should pack the following items: All ID camp players will receive 2 FCB training jerseys (training jerseys will be issued at check-in) Clothing/Soccer Gear 3-4 Sets of black shorts (Plain or Adidas) 3-4 sets of black socks (Plain or Adidas) GPS FC Bayern Grey Training Jersey 6 Pairs of Underwear 5 Pairs of Socks 1-2 Pairs of Cleats 1 Pair of Sneakers Shin Guards Warm Jacket Pajamas Casual clothes Other Items 2 Sheets, Pillow, Blanket or Sleeping bag 2 Towels Refillable Water bottle or cooler Sunscreen and Mosquito Repellent Toiletries Please feel free to wear/bring any FC Bayern apparel you might have. Players should NOT bring valuable items with them. GPS will not be held responsible for items of value that are misplaced while at camp and as this can often be upsetting for your child we find it easier if valuables are left at home.
OTHER INFORMATION Birthdays If your child s birthday falls during their week at camp, please inform a GPS staff member at registration so that we may honor the occasion in the traditional way. Homesickness Younger children can understandably be anxious about sleeping away from Mom and Dad. However, because of the caring and friendly atmosphere we create, we experience very few problems. If your child does get homesick, we ask for your support. Our experience shows that a parent, who can be understanding, yet firm, when faced with homesickness, will help their child to blossom and mature from the whole experience. Medical Staff The Residential camp will have a fully qualified athletic trainer on site 24 hours a day. The staff responsible for medical care must hold any medications presently prescribed to your son or daughter. Please send such medication with a doctor s order so that it may be dispensed correctly. The coaching and medical staff monitors every injury however minor. Even so, some players love camp so much they attempt to hide injuries so that they may continue to play. Parents are seldom fooled. If you gain any indication from a visit or a telephone call that your child is more injured or ill than they may appear, please inform the staff. You will meet the medical staff at registration. Medical Form It is a State Health requirement that you submit an immunization record for your child. This record must be official from your child s doctor, include any vaccination dates and be in date. Failure to provide this information will result in your child not being able to participate. If the camper does not have to have a medical examination then please send us a copy of a current (last 6 months) school medical form as long as it includes immunization dates. The medical form at the back of the handbook and your immunization records must be submitted to the Athletic Trainer on check in. Failure to do so will results in your child not being able to participate in the camp.
FAQ Where will my child sleep? Players will be housed in a dorm room with two players per room. Staff members will reside on each floor of the dorms to provide supervision at all times for player safety. What will my child eat? Your child will receive 3 meals a day, with all food supplied on-site. What will my child do each day? There is little down time at the camp, players each day will be on field from the morning to late afternoon and will participate in evening activities. Will my child take part in other activities? Night activities include fun soccer games such as small sided soccer tournaments and soccer tennis. Each night teams will be given several activity options. Each activity will be supervised by a GPS staff member. What will be the extent of the players soccer training? Players will be on the field, two or three times a day for 2 hour periods working on specific technical and tactical elements of play. What should I do with my child s medication? There will be a qualified athletic trainer at registration to collect medical forms and meds. This person will be staying on site for the entire week. What do parents do after they checked in their child at the Residential Camp? Between drop off and the opening ceremony, parents are welcome to stick around and to get their kids comfortable. I m staying in a nearby hotel, can I watch my child s sessions? Absolutely. Parents are welcome to view sessions from the designated viewing areas Can I interact with my child before or after their sessions? Players are on a tight schedule to keep their bodies and minds occupied. We don t mind a quick hallo and goodbye but generally discourage player/parent interaction.
Can I interact with my child after all the daily activities are concluded I.e., see a movie etc.? No. Part of becoming a top level athlete requires players to develop a healthy dose of independence without parental guidance. We are there to keep an eye on them. When do I pick up my child again? Closing Ceremony is on Sunday, July 2nd at 11:30. Parents are welcome to observe the Ceremony. Check-Out is at 12:30pm at which point all parents are required to be on-site to pick up their child.
