Girls' Camp & Dates:

• 1996 &1997 Birth Years: July 27-July 30, 2008 (180 campers taken)
• 1994 & 1995 Birth Years: July 30-Aug. 2, 2008 (180 campers taken)
• Camp fee $250 -- balance due June 6

There have been several inquiries on the girl's side about registering for the session that isn't their birth year. The camp is organized by birth year, and although we acknowledge that some players have teammates who would attend the other birth year session, we are not making exceptions to birth year organization, and we expect both camps to fill.

Boys' Camp & Dates:

• 1995, 1996 & 1997 Birth Years: Aug. 3-6, 2008 (180 campers taken)
• Camp fee $250

2008 Camp Program

ISA's Developmental Camp is very intensive and includes technical, tactical and physiological components, as well as information on nutrition and injury prevention. Technical and tactical sessions are done during the day, while intra-camp competitions are held at night. With that,, the coaches also make sure it is fun...ask any camper who has attended!

Eligible age divisions are determined by birth year. In 2008, the eligible birth years for camp for girls are 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1997. Eligible birth years for boys are 1995, 1996 and 1997.

Goalkeeper training sessions are conducted only once a day. Players who sign up will still attend field training sessions. If interested in goalkeeper training, check the box on the registration form.

Campers are housed two to a room in the air conditioned dormitories on the campus of Grinnell College.

• Roommates are either selected by you, or if you don't have a request, assigned by me. In past years, parents have indicated the roommate selection on the registration form. THIS HAS CHANGED; after registration closes, I will contact you to get your roommate request, and if you don't have one, I'll assign one.

Who should attend?

Developmental Camp is open to all Iowa players who fall within the eligible birth years. It is a demanding camp, but that should not deter any player who is unsure how they stack up against their peers, or is unsure where they want their soccer career to go. This is a great opportunity for recreational through select players to be exposed to a higher level of coaching and expectations, to compete against some of the best players in the state and to have fun while being challenged.

Benefits of ISA's Developmental Camp

• Quality instruction from nationally-licensed coaches
• Further one's development as a player, no matter your level or playing goals.
• Meet and compete against players from across the state.

PARENTS, Volunteer to Chaperone!

• One chaperone is assigned to every 16-18 players, plus there's a head chaperone who is not assigned a group.
  • Please note that for risk-management reasons, we only accept female chaperones for the girl's camp; female and male chaperones are accepted for the boy's camp
• Chaperones are assigned a single room on the same floor as their child; children do not room with their chaperone parent.
• Chaperones are not charged any fees!
• You need to be onsite earlier in the day on the first day of camp, and be able to stay throught the end of camp. Days are long and hot, so be forewarned!
• We typically get more volunteers than we can use; if you're selected, you'll need to complete the Volunteer Disclosure Form.
  • If interested in chaperoning, check the box on the registration form. You'll hear from me shortly after camp registration closes.
