Players are to be registered at the camp at 9:30am. Camp hours are then 10:00am to 3:30pm with half an hour for lunch. 

 

Hours may vary on International camps. Please see the International page for specific timings https://www.therootacademy.co.uk/cricket-camps/international/. 

 

Once your booking is processed, you will be emailed with confirmation of your booking. Further information regarding specific camp information will then be emailed to the email address used for the booking approximately 3-5 days before the camp is due to start. 

 

This varies depending upon each camp. The programme for each camp is created by R66T Academy oaches and depending upon the activities the camp involves, this will determine whether the camp can be booked as an individual day or for the full camp duration. 

This ensures that players get the most training and opportunities to play and improve their skills as possible.  

 

At each camp, players are split into groups based upon age and ability levels to ensure each player gets the most out of the camps. Based upon this, we can not guarantee that the coaches will be able to keep together specific groups of existing friends. What we can guarantee is that new friends will be made at the camp! 

 

For safety reasons, In netting situations we work to a ratio of 1 coach to a maximum of 8 players, in outside match play and training purposes we work to a ratio of 1 coach to a maximum of 15 players. 

 

Lunch involves a short break for food, drinks and rest - players are supervised by the coaches at all times 

 

Players will need to bring their own drinks, along with lunch and snacks in a suitable lunch box or bag unless otherwise stated. Lunch and snacks should not consist of any nuts or nut-based products. Players will need to bring their own refillable drink bottle each day. 

 

All coaches who run R66T Academy camps are First Aid qualified and the Lead Coach will be in overall charge of First Aid. As part of our kit, we also carry with us a fully stocked first aid kit which complies to British safety standard BS8599. 

 

Once participants have been registered by R66T Academy staff, parents have no obligation to stay and watch. However , if parents would like to, they can stay and watch for as long as they would like. Parents must then return for collection of participants at least 15 minutes before the scheduled end of the day/camp and we will ask parents to sign their child out at the end of the session. 

Are discounts available for siblings? 

We do not offer discounts for siblings, we plan our sessions to keep overhead costs low and so we feel the camp is already fantastic value for money.
