Frequently Asked Questions

Who can attend this program?
This program is open to any and all applicants (limited only by number and age).  The camp does not select participants on an invitation-only basis nor reserve spots for prospective players.  Boys and girls are eligible to attend the program.  8th grade to 12th grade are eligible along with players who have already begun their collegiate career.  College coaches from all divisions/levels of the game are eligible to attend after filling out their attendance RSVP.

How do the college coaches identify my player during the program?
Each player is given an individually numbered camp tshirt at check in.  Each scouting college coach will receive a booklet with each player’s bio/information that was provided during player registration.  Grad year, GPA, School, Club team, etc. will be included. Their jersey number will be linked to their player profile in this booklet, allowing the college coaches keep track of each player of interest throughout the program.  

Are there any discounts available for this program?
To remain in compliance with NCAA policies this camp is unable to offer discounts outside of the early registration discount.  If interested in a 'full team' package, or a one day attendance package  Email us at SHOWCASE@LOUFUSZATHLETIC.COM for details. 

I want to work with a specific college coach who is attending, how can I make this happen?
 Every player will have the opportunity to be viewed by all the coaches in attendance.  If there is a specific coach or school you would like to be grouped with, email us at SHOWCASE@LOUFUSZATHLETIC.COM to make this happen. 

My player is a goalkeeper, will there be GK specific training?​
Yes, there will be goalkeeper specific training conducted during the weekend. The schedule outline includes multiple GK specific training sessions built into the camp sessions prior to the GKs joining their teams/groups for drills that require going to goal, as well as small and full sided games. All GK sessions are conducted by current college coaches and collegiate goalkeepers. GKs receive individually numbered program T-shirts of a different color than those provided to participating field players for easy GK identification. More than 80% of the college coaches in attendance have indicated that finding a goalkeeper is one of, if not their highest priority this year.

We’re flying into the event; do you have any transportation to/from local airports?
We recommend flying into Lambert International Airport.  Located only 5 miles from our facility. We do offer airport shuttle service to/from our facility for a nominal fee.  Attendees are also welcome to utilize a taxi type service at their own discretion. Please email us directly with more information regarding your arrival/departure flights.

Is housing included or required?
Housing of players is not included in this event.  We do not require out of town attendees to reserve a hotel stay at any specific hotel, however we do encourage the use of our hotel partners listed on the HOUSING page of our website.  Discounted hotel rate is provided along with other perks. 

What is the cancellation and refund policy?
Payment is required as part of the terms of being accepted into the program.  Payment must be received by the payment deadline listed for each camp in order to be eligible to attend.  Due to the limited space in our events, registration/payment deadlines may come about earlier than originally scheduled.  We will do our best to provide as much advance notice as possible.  It is our goal to provide a safe, and positive experience for all of our attendees.  We certainly understand that each applicant for our programs is committing to a significant investment of time, energy, and financial resources in order to join us.  We too have invested significantly in the program through upfront costs such as field/facility rental, staff stipends/travel, equipment, and many other areas.   Should a significant situation arise (e.g. contagions, regional disasters, other uncontrollable events) we will do everything in our power to host the scheduled program with as little deviation as possible.  Should we have to make the decision to cancel an event due to force majeure, participants will have their choice of a 100% credit (to be used within 12 months) toward a future Midwest Elite College ID Camp (we host them twice annually) or up to 60%, cash refund returned to you via the means by which your payment was submitted.  Exact amount to be refunded is dependent on many factors such as date of the cancellation in relation to the start date of the camp.  Camp cancellation refunds will be processed as quickly as possible, however a timeline of 2-3 weeks to receive your refund is to be expected.  Individual participant cancellations for any reason, will result in a camp credit transfer toward a future program, provided you have given the camp notice of your inability to participate prior to the camp start date.  No camp credit will be provided to no-shows of the camp.

My player has a medical condition requiring specific attention.  Will there be medical staff on hand?​
Yes, we will have full-time medical professionals & athletic trainers on-site for the entirety of the event provided by Washington University / Children’s Hospital Young Athlete Center. ​

Can parents attend?
Parents are welcome to watch and cheer on their players during the 8v8 and full field matches which take place on day 1, 3pm-6pm and on day 2 from 9am-noon.  (program schedule may change with as much advance notice as possible).  Parents are not allowed to participate in any other part of the program.  Specifics for each camp will be included in each player's 'Official Welcome' email.

My player is driving to the event, what are the parking instructions?
Any player that will be driving themselves can park onsite, free of charge, in our gated facility parking lot. Any parents coming to watch the full sided games, can also park in this lot.  When we transition from the LFA Training Center, to the LF Soccer Complex (4 miles along the same road) on Saturday, players may drive themselves, ride with their parents, or take the free shuttle.

Is there a camp store/ concessions?
Players should not have the need to bring any money with them to the program.  Lunch is provided on Day 1 of the program.  Water coolers are provided for players to fill up their jugs/bottles which should be brought from home.
