Yes! Discounts will vary depending on your local area but discounts which are available include... 10% Sibling Discount Book your first child on and receive a 10% discount for each additional child you book on.

For Woodley Football Plus only you will need to book into the appropriate age group for your child. For all other camps you just need to book the mixed age group and children will be split into age appropriate groups on the day. Our groups are based on your child's year group for the current school year. There may be children attending who are not in the suggested age range for that group for example if they are a sibling attending a group with their brother or sister or a child who it has been discussed with the uSports team that they would be better suited to a younger or older age group.

As of June 2021, siblings no longer need to attend the same group at a uSports camp. If you would like your children to join the same group but they are different ages then you are still welcome to do so but the choice is now yours.

If you think your child would be able to access the activities in the day with the help of 1:1 support then we will try to arrange volunteers who will be able to provide your child with the relevant support. Please note we have a limited number of volunteers available so if you would like to request a 1:1 volunteer please let us know with as much notice as possible and we will do our best to accommodate your request!

If you would like your child to be in the same group as a friend, please make sure to let the site manager know on the day of the camp and they will be able to arrange this for you.

If your child is attending through a government funded HAF space, lunch will be provided free of charge but we still recommend your provide water and snacks.

We have enough gazebos for all children to take shelter under within their assigned groups. Please be aware that we will have minimal or no indoor facilities due to venue and government restrictions. There is also a significantly lower risk of spreading COVID while outside so would always prioritise outdoor activities at this time.

In the case of a day needing to be cancelled due to extreme weather, you will either be able to transfer your booking to another day or can hold your booking fee as a credit towards futue bookings.
