Camps Terms and Conditions

See individual camps for additional terms, included items and options, including the start and finish times of your course.

Registration is considered as acceptance of the following conditions:

Staffing

The Camp will be led by FA accredited coaches and the highest safety measures will be taken at all times, with lead coaches holding DBS background checks.

Please note that during this camp our lead coaches will be mentoring assistant coaches looking to progress through their coaching badges as part of their professional development.

The lead coach will at all times be in charge of the session but a key tenet of the FC Isle of Man philosophy is to assist those in our community that wish to develop a career in and around sport. Enabling aspiring coaches to develop in this way gives them valuable experience to assist with their examinations.

Disclaimer & Liability

By booking this course, you agree to these terms and conditions and acknowledge and agree that FC Isle of Man is not responsible for any:

• loss or damages of whatsoever nature and howsoever arising;
• injuries of any nature that your child may suffer;
• loss of or damage to property

Nothing in these terms and conditions shall limit our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees.

Camp Behaviour

All camps are designed to be enjoyed by every participant. We expect the highest standards of behaviour and conduct on all of our courses. We want everyone to have fun and we appreciate that children get excited. Where this excitement spills over into poor behaviour our coaches will of course speak to the child in an effort to help them understand how they are affecting other camp participants and ways that they can modify their behaviour.

However, should any players bully other participants or repeatedly misbehave, they will no longer be welcome to participate in the camp. In such circumstances we will call the detailed parent/guardian and request that they are immediately picked up. Please note no refund will be issued.

We are sure that Parents / Guardians will appreciate our zero-tolerance approach on bullying and we will reinforce these points to your children before the camp commences.

Cancellations

Cancellations made 4 weeks prior to the camp start date will have the option to:

• A 50% refund of course fee; or
• The option to transfer to an alternative camp where available

Any cancellation made within 4 weeks of the camp commencement will not be refunded.

Kit List

Some of the items on this list are essential and are marked as such. If your child does not bring the specified essential items with them to the session, they may not be permitted to participate and we will have no choice but to call the parent/guardian to bring the items to camp or collect the child.

Anything not marked as essential is a suggestion, should participants not have anything that is on the list parent should use discretion as to whether the item needs to be purchased.
