What is the investment?

Registration starts at $230 per session. 

Our camps are designed so that every camper gets individualized training from the clinicians. The clinicians design the training sessions and work with every camper in attendance. 

Our 2024 lineup includes Alex Storako, Megan Faraimo, Kinzie Hansen and Michaela Edenfield, Division 2 and Division 3 coaches and collegiate athletes. Alex, Megan, Kinzie and Michaela design the training circuit with their favorite drills and campers interact with them throughout the training session.

When will the college coaches be announced? 

We are finalizing the college coaches who are working the camp. Muhlenberg College is confirmed. We will update the event flyer and website. 

  The session I want to sign up for is no longer displayed on the registration page. Can I still sign up?

No. When a session is at capacity it will no longer display as an option to register. When the VIP sessions sell out we will add the Wait List sign up. 

What is the difference between a VIP Session and a Camp Session?

Our VIP sessions are exclusive small group training sessions where campers get more 1:1 time with the clinicians. The VIP sessions also allow for more Q&A and for the athletes to share their softball journey. 

Both the VIP Session and the Camp session are unique experiences. We have had campers attend multiple sessions in one weekend. 

If I purchase a VIP Session does that include a Camp session?

No, if you want to attend a camp session you must also purchase a camp session.

What is the format of each session?

Campers will participate in a group warm up followed by a training circuit and camp customized by the athletes. 

How do the Athletes interact with campers? We want to make sure my daughter gets quality coaching.

Athletes will be personally working with each camper, while instructing their favorite drill. This format allows for much more personal time, connection, and individual instruction. In addition to the clinicians this camp is staffed by college coaches and college athletes. 

The VIP session is sold out. Is there a wait list?

Yes, we have a wait list for VIP. It is very uncommon that a VIP spot becomes available. In the event a session becomes available you will be contacted based on the timestamp of your wait list form submission. 

What is the player to coach ratio?

VIP Camper to coach ratio is 4:1, the Camp Camper to coach Ratio is 8:1. 

In the VIP sessions, campers work with the athletes the entire duration of the session. In the Camp session, campers will also work with college coaches and college players. 

To ensure that every camper has a great experience, coaches and college athletes are at every station instructing athletes and providing feedback. 

 Is there a specific sign up for age groups?

No, campers of all ages can sign up for each session. Campers will be grouped by age and the clinicians will differentiate drills based on camper age and skill level. 

What is the minimum age?

We welcome campers ages 7 and older. 

What is the maximum age?

Typically, event attendees are through high school age. However, collegiate campers have attended in the past.

What is the format of each session?

Campers will participate in a group warm up followed by a training circuit and camp customized by the athletes. 

 If my daughter does not do a catching session will she still be able to meet Kinzie and Michaela?

Yes! Michaela and Kinzie will instruct a station during the hitting clinics so your camper will get to meet and work with them.

We want to sign up for multiple sessions. Is this possible?

Yes. Campers can attend multiple sessions. Sign up for each training session individually.

 I want to switch my session. Is this possible?

Please review your session before checkout. We will do our best to honor requests but cannot make any guarantees. Requests are reviewed weekly on Friday.

We are unable to attend. How do I request a refund?

All sales are final. We do not issue any refunds under any circumstance.

If life happens and you are not able to attend your scheduled event you have the option to receive a full credit towards another clinic hosted by 7DS OR transfer your clinic credit to another camper to attend in your place.

Will athletes be taking photos and signing autographs?

A designated time will be set aside for photos and autographs. We have a professional photographer scheduled. Please do not ask athletes to sign autographs or take photos outside of the designated time as their primary focus during the sessions is training campers.

When does my camper get their photo and autograph?

If you purchase a photo and autograph, please refer to your welcome email with specific directions on when your photo and autograph session will take place. 

Can my camper take pictures during the session?

To avoid distraction from training athletes are not permitted to take photos during the session. Please keep all phones and devices stored in equipment bags during training. We will reserve time for a group photo at the end of the session.

Will pictures be taken during the session?

Yes. We have photographers on staff taking pictures of campers interacting with the athletes. 

Is personal photography permitted?

The Photo and Autograph area is reserved for event attendees only. Parents and guardians will be required to stay back. This is to ensure the event attendees get personal time with the clinicians for an intimate moment.

What can parents/guardians do during the session?

Please note that space allotted for observation at our host venues is on a first-come-first serve basis and some venues may not allow spectators during sessions due to space, facility protocol or safety reasons.

All event attendees and parents will participate in the group welcome and parent/guardians are permitted for a group Q+A and group photo at the end of each session.

What does my camper need to bring to the session?

Campers should bring their softball equipment including but not limited to gloves, batting gloves, bat, helmet, sneakers/turf shoes, catchers should bring catching equipment. In general, bring ALL the equipment you would take to practice, game, lesson, etc.

What should my camper wear?

Attendees should wear athletic apparel that they can move in. Some campers wear their club uniforms to make it easier for college coaches in attendance to identify them for recruiting purposes. Please make sure your camper wears sneakers or turf shoes as cleats are not permitted indoors. 

My camper is attending the pitching session. Does she need to bring her own catcher?

Specific information will be provided in your welcome email.

 My daughter is new to pitching/catching. Is this event appropriate for her?

We welcome all campers from beginner to advanced. Our camps are unique in that campers get to work with some of the best athletes in the game. We have had beginners attend as well as athletes who are committed to play collegiate softball. 

Do you offer a discount if I register 2 campers?

We do not offer sibling or multi-session discounts. We do offer a team discount. 

When will I receive a camp welcome email?

Camp welcome emails are sent before the event. Welcome emails detail important information on parking, arrival times, venue specific information on spectators, food, and refreshments, and more!

When should I arrive at the event?

Please refer to your welcome email for this information. 

Will you be selling apparel and merchandise?

Yes. We have tee shirts, long sleeve shirts, hoodies, signed photos and more! 

We are traveling from out of state by plane. What happens if our flight is delayed or canceled?

We recommend you plan your travel the day before your scheduled session in winter months.

What is the weather policy?

Some events may experience inclement weather that effects the event start time, end time, length, or outcome. In the case of inclement weather, event times may be changed, the length of the event may be shortened, or the event may be postponed to another date. In the case of postponement, a credit will be issued to registered campers to attend the rescheduled event, or another future event.

What is a coach pass?

Coaches passes are available for coaches who want to be on the training floor and learn from the athletes and clinicians. A limited number of passes are available for Camp sessions. Coach passes are not available for VIP sessions. 

Are team discounts available?

Yes, we offer a discount of $50 off each camper’s registration with a minimum of 8 team members attending camp. VIP sessions are excluded from this offer. 

If you are interested in signing up a group or team please email frontdesk@7dsfp.com with the number of campers that would like to sign up. We will invoice you and when payment is received we will email you a code for each camper to complete their registration.
