FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Will the scheduled times change at all?

It’s possible! Most of our instructional areas are outdoors and subject to weather. As such, the times may be altered at the coach’s discretion to facilitate instruction. Any time changes are made, an e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address you entered when registering.

We have never had to cancel a camp before, however, in the event that we need to cancel a camp, we will refund all tuition minus the online registration fee of ($13.90). If we need to cancel part of a camp (due to excessive weather or any other unforeseen circumstance) we will refund a percentage of the tuition based on the percentage of instruction that was cancelled. We will not issue a refund if 50%, or more, of the instruction has been completed.

Where will the camp be and how do I get there?

All of our summer camps take place at Sherri Parker Lee Softball Stadium. For more information and directions, please CLICK HERE.

What should I bring?

Campers should bring their glove, batting helmet, bat and comfortable, weather appropriate clothes - please make sure everything is clearly marked. Please bring tennis shoes, as cleats are not allowed in any of the indoor areas. If you are signed up for a catching option, you should bring your catching gear. There will be a lunch break each day where parents can take their kids to a large number of local restaurants or campers can bring their own sack lunch. Water and Gatorade will be provided at each station.

Pitchers DO NOT need to bring someone to catch for them at any of our camps or their bats and batting helmets.

What happens if there is an injury?

We will have a certified trainer on site to deal with any injuries. Unlike past years, campers will need to have their own health insurance to participate. Providing the name of your carrier and policy number is part of the registration.

Can parents stay and watch?

Absolutely! However, parents are asked to stay off of all instructional areas.

Will there be a camp store to purchase UT Softball merchandise?

Yes, a camp store will be available before, during and following the camp. Campers will be able to purchase a variety of UT softball clothing and merchandise. The store will accept cash, Visa or MasterCard.

I have a question that was not answered here?
