Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between all the Camps?
We get lots of questions about the difference between all the various camps that we offer. This should help break it down a little: The Full-Field Lacrosse Camps are designed to offer the best balance of full-field play and individual play. They're designed for the player who is looking for both individual training and team concepts. The Full-Field Camp offers the best balance between skills stations and full-field games. The Elite, Pro and Extreme Camps are designed to concentrate exclusively on individual, one-on-one, and situational play. There are very few full-field games at the Elite, Pro or Extreme camps. The IronMan Camps are situational specialty camps designed to cover dodging, shooting-on-the-run, goaltending, and defensive one-on-one and transitional play. All of our camps end the day with our trademark IronMan games, which are short-field, fast-paced 6-V-6 games designed to improve quickness and decision-making. So, though there might not be full-field games at some of our camps, all of our camps end the day with some sort of game-like activity. Our camps all work well on their own, but are also conveniently scheduled to run back-to-back so that a player can easily attend more than one camp and stay for up to two weeks. Transition between camps is seamless and players do not need to leave campus between sessions.  And yes, players attending different camps during the same session may room together.

2. Which Player's Choice camps have goalie programs?
All Player's Choice sessions` have goalie programs uniquely catered to the session they belong to. (Go to the Boy's Camps and Girl's Camps pages for descriptions.)

A Note About Goalies:

No position is more poorly coached overall than lacrosse goalie. There just aren’t enough quality coaches to go around. Often a team’s approach to managing a goalie is to give him, or her, a goalie stick and chest protector and then throw him, or her, in the goal. Often the goalie stands in the crease and watches while every other position on the field gets coached. Lacrosse goalie is a demanding position that demands comprehensive, position specific coaching, and that’s where we come in. Goalies are important to us at Player's Choice and we take a lot of pride in being able to offer some of the finest goalie programs in the country.

3. What is the refund policy?
All deposits are non-refundable ($175 for the first camp and $75 for each additional camp.) Any remaining payments are refundable up until June 30, 2011 if cancellation is due to a health related emergency and a note from a medical doctor is provided. This DOES NOT include the deposit amounts, which as already stated, are never refundable. There are no refunds after June 30, 2011. We will allow the transfer of the tuition to another player, so that if for some reason a player who is already registered cannot attend camp, we will allow another player (family member, friend, or teammate) to take his or her place. Our cancellation policy reflects the nature of running a camp like Player's Choice and the very real costs associated with it. Many of our costs deal with estimates and guarantees (insurance, beds, meals, etc.) and at a certain point we are locked into those costs. Also, our staff is organized well in advance of the camp and if we have four or five cancellations, we don't then fire a staff member. Furthermore, the Player's Choice Lacrosse Camps all happen later in the summer so we are somewhat at the mercy of what happens to all of our players earlier in the summer. We understand that things happen and that people get hurt and we try and work with people and their situations whenever we can but at a certain point we are locked into the financial realties of running a seasonal business and our options become very limited. We hope this makes sense to everyone concerned and we are grateful for your understanding and patience.

4. Are there any group discounts?
There are group discounts ($50 each off the overall price) for any group of three or more who register at the same time (sent in the same envelope, called in at the same time, registered online at the same time.) Groups of ten or more receive a $75 discount each off the total price.  Only one discount allowed per camp.

5. What is the camper to counselor ratio?
It varies between 6:1 and 8:1 depending on the camp (3:1 or 4:1 for goalies usually.)

6. Who are your coaches?
Most of our coaches are pro players, college coaches, national team players, and college stars. The overall director is Greg Munro (former coach at Bentley College, Assumption College, and Holy Cross). The field director for the boy's camps is Chad Smith (former coach, Manhattan College and coach at the Naval Prep Academy). The field directors for the girl's camps are Meredith Buzzi (coach at Kenyon College), Katie Sheridan (coach at Pacific), and Julie Duffy (coach at Ohio Wesleyan).

7. Can I get poster/brochures for my whole team?
Yes, just call us or email us with a mailing address, how many brochures you need, and whether you're interested in boys or girls lacrosse, and we'll get them out to you ASAP.

8. If I'm on your mailing list will I receive brochures and discount offers in the future?
Yes, you will. To get on our mailing list click on the "Get A Brochure" link and fill out the form. We do not share our mailing list with anyone so your information is safe with us.

9. What do the sweatshirts look like?
The sweatshirts are grey, hooded sweatshirts with one of our logos on the front. Sizes are small, medium, large, extra-large, and double extra-large. The sweatshirts are available for $35.

10. How long has Player's Choice been running lacrosse camps?
This is our 16th great season.

11. Do I need a medical form?
You will need to complete our medical/insurance form and provide us with a copy of your immunization record, available from your family doctor. We do not require a specific physical unless you've recently suffered a severe illness or injury. Download the form here.

12. Can I download the Camp Info Packet or medical/insurance form?
You can download the 2011 Camp Info Packet here. The medical / insurance form can be downloaded here.

13. What should I bring to camp? How do I get to camp? Is there a hotel list?
The What To Bring List, directions to camp, and hotel info is available in the Camp Info Packet, which you can download off the Welcome page and the Downloads page very soon.

14. What airport should I fly into, and if I fly where will I get picked up?
Player's Choice offers roundtrip transfer from TF Green Airport in Providence, RI and from Logan Airport in Boston, MA for a fee. You will be met at baggage claim of whatever airport you fly into and will be taken to check-in on the last day. One-way transfer is also available. T.F. Green Airport in Providence is the airport that we prefer you use. It's easy to get in and out of and is only 25 minutes from camp. Southwest, American Airlines, Delta, Northwest, and US Air all fly in and out of T.F. Green Airport. If Providence is not an option we can also provide transfer from Logan Airport in Boston.

Unaccompanied Minors: We can provide safe transfer for unaccompanied minors, but there will be an additional fee assessed.

Special note for those booking travel through Priceline, Travelocity or Orbitz, or similar on-line travel agencies: Southwest Airlines uses Providence as a hub and has many flights in and out of Providence during the day, but Southwest does not generally list their flights with on-line travel sites, so make sure you go to the Southwest site and check their options before you book a flight. They generally offer some great deals in and out of Providence. www.southwest.com

15. If I register for more than one camp, do I need to check out after one camp, then check back in?  Do I need to leave campus?  Can I keep my same room?
Transition between camps is seamless.  You do not need to check out then check back in, and more often than not you will keep your same room.  About half of the players that attend Player’s Choice come for more than one camp, and a few for 3 and 4 camps; the other half come for just one.  Our camps are all designed to work on their own but are also designed to compliment each other.

16. What are my other travel options?
To Make traveling easier, Player's Choice will run round-trip shuttles from T.F. Green Airport in Providence, RI, the New Bedford Airport, the New Bedford Ferry, the New Bedford bus station, the bus and train stations in Providence, RI, and if necessary, Logan Airport in Boston. (See registration form for prices). Call and let us help you with your travel arrangements.

17. What time should I schedule my flights to and from camp?
If flying into Providence, we recommend arriving between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on the first day of camp; if flying into Boston, we recommend arriving between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. On the last day, if flying out of Providence, we recommend a departing flight at 2 p.m. or later; out of Boston, a flight at 3 p.m. or later. You always have the option of arriving the day before your camp starts. Please note that these are only guidelines, and that we will work with whatever flights you end up arranging. Please provide us with travel details ASAP!

18. When can we buy Player's Choice stuff online?
Very, very soon. We promise!!! The first items that will be available for sale online will include both our 9-ounce Classic Sweatshirt and 12-ounce Super-Heavyweight Sweatshirt; the unbelievably comfortable and ultra-famous PCLAX Performance Tee (in a variety of colors); and our custom wood, canvas-back Sideline Chair. Check back soon!

19. I'm interested in applying for a position at Player's Choice. What do I need to do?
Email us at pclax77@earthlink.net with your full name, mailing address, any phone numbers, your primary lacrosse position, where you play(ed) and year of graduation, where you coach (if applicable), date of birth, and the name and number of a reference. Tell us anything else you think that we should know and which camps you're interested in.

20. Are rooms singles, doubles or triples, and can I request a roommate?
For 2011 rooms are mostly doubles.  Our normal dorm is being rehabbed over the summer and we’ll be using the dorm next door (also air-conditioned!).  We might have a few triples but we will not know for sure until early June.  We do our best to honor roommate requests and to put teammates or groups of friends together. Rooms are located in air-conditioned dorms. There are no singles.  We also group our campers by ages and we room campers attending on their own with others attending on their own.

21. Can I arrive late or depart early?
Yes, you just need to let us know your plans ahead of time. There are no discounts for missed sessions.

22. Can I arrive a day early for camp if I'm traveling from far away?
Yes, you can come the night before for an additional charge of $75. You will be in the dorm with our staff.

23. What is IronMan or IronWoman lacrosse?
The IronMan and IronWoman games are short field, very fast paced 6-V-6 games.

24. How long do you accept registrations?
We accept registrations until the camps are full.

25. Can I play in the white division even if I'm under 16?
Yes you can. We use the ages only as a guideline. If you can play in the older age group, then we encourage you to do so.

26. What is the daily schedule like?
We are a lacrosse intensive camp that offers three sessions a day. The nature of the daily sessions depends upon the camp. Each camp is unique in its own way. Below is a sample schedule of what a full day looks like at Player's Choice.

27. Do many players coming to Player's Choice stay for more than one session?
About 55% of those attending Payer's Choice stay for more than one camp. We also have a group of players that stay for 3 or 4 camps. Each camp is designed to work entirely on its own but every camp is also designed to compliment the other camps around it. We're confident that whether you come for one camp, or for more than one camp, that you'll find it worth the time and effort.

28. What's the difference between Player's Choice Lacrosse Camps and other camps?
We're better; much, much better.
