Residential Academy Guidelines

---

RESIDENTIAL ACADEMY GUIDELINES:

Philosophy: The Soccer Academies residential academy is a competitive soccer environment. You should be prepared physically and mentally for some strenuous play. The camp will be similar to the Dartmouth College men's and women's soccer programs pre-season training programs. It is designed for serious players looking to improve and prepare themselves to play beyond the high school level. We emphasize that players should come to camp physically prepared by participating in some comparable exercise prior to arriving on campus. Stretching, aerobic (distance runs) and anaerobic (short sprints) exercises plus playing in games will be most helpful.

Sports Medicine: The Elite Residential Academies are staffed by two (2) professional, certified athletic trainers.

Proof of family health insurance is required by all those who attend the Soccer Academies. Please return the Soccer Academies Health Form to us as soon as possible to complete your application.

Tobacco, drugs and alcohol are strictly forbidden! Any player found in possession, or in any way involved in tobacco, drugs or alcohol will dismissed from camp immediately. All medications that are prescribed by a doctor must be registered with the trainer during check-in.

Player Responsibilities: All campers are expected to participate in and be punctual to all sessions unless certified injured or sick by the camp trainer. Injured players must continue to attend all sessions unless otherwise advised by the trainer. This will enable players to get as much out of their soccer experience as possible.

You are expected to dress in appropriate soccer attire as instructed by the Camp Directors and coaching staff.

Shinguards are mandatory, players not wearing them will not be allowed to participate in any training sessions.

No hats will be worn unless deemed necessary by the athletic trainer or head coach.

Remember you are guests of Dartmouth College and are expected to behave accordingly both on and off the field. Residence Halls and training areas should be kept clean at all times!

Players should remember the rules of Good Sportsmanship when training and playing in daily games.

Overnight campers are STRICTLY FORBIDDEN to be in any fraternities, sororities, or residence halls other than those they are assigned. Please keep out of any residence hall which is not yours, and respect the property and privacy of others attending the camp.

ANY CAMPERS FOUND IN VIOLATION OF ANY OF THE ABOVE REGULATIONS AND/OR ANY OTHER RULES SET FORTH BY SOCCER ACADEMIES WILL BE SENT HOME BY CAMP OFFICIALS IMMEDIATELY.
