Frequently Asked Questions |
Campers will be divided based off several factors:
- Primary: playing ability, gender
- Secondary: size, age, numbers of campers available
Roll Tide Soccer Academy is open to all levels and abilities including those who have not played before. We recommend the Day Camp and Overnight Camp for rookie or novice players, but all camps are open to any and all entrants and are limited only by number, age, grade level, and/or gender.
Yes and Yes. We will break campers up using the aforementioned criteria, and make sure that all campers are receiving a valuable experience while being challenged by playing with and against campers of a similar level.
-
Day Camp - $25 should cover snacks and a simple Crimson Tide souvenir from the Camp Store, UA Bookstore or another Bama gift shop.
-
Overnight Camp - $50 should cover daytime snacks, night-time pizza, and a simple Crimson Tide souvenir from the Camp Store, UA Bookstore or other Bama gift shop.

ID Camp – Enough for 1 Night Hotel Lodging + Transportation + Souvenirs + Additional Food – Day 1 lunch, Day 2 breakfast, snacks, meals while traveling
Yes – you must book the hotel, pay for the hotel, and handle any transportation before, during, and after the camp separate from RTSA. We will be using multiple sites around campus during the ID Camp, and campers must be able to drive, bike, or walk to each site. RTSA is not responsible for campers before, in between, or after designated camp sessions. Parental accompaniment and supervision is highly recommended.
Yes – the UA Women’s coaching staff have each trained, coached, and mentored male players throughout their careers from youth levels to the professional levels. Coach Hart himself was a 6-year starter in the MLS. There are not too many better places in the Southeast to send your son for him to learn what it takes to push to the next level and/or the highest levels. Additionally, RTSA is still currently forming the Camp Staff, but an effort will be made to have a couple men’s college coaches on staff for the Overnight Camp to work with and advise male campers.
Yes – parents are welcome at all camp sessions and especially for any designated talks or discussions on various topics during the ID or Overnight Camps. Please keep a considerate distance during field sessions to allow for campers to have an independent camp experience.
Yes – but only with direct parental communication to Coach Roh – Director of RTSA.
Overnight campers cannot leave the residence hall or other facilities without permission from Coach Roh. Failure to obtain permission will result in immediate termination from the camp. We prefer that you use time before or after the camp with a parent or guardian to explore UA or Tuscaloosa in greater detail.
Yes – just select the payment option for the camp you desire. Then contact the camp to let us know you are interested in pro-rating and when your camper will not be present. We will then issue a refund to you based on the days missed. If the camper is missing less than a day of activity, there will be no pro-rate option.
We do not pro-rate for ID Camps. Campers can arrive late or depart early with permission/communication, but pro-rating will not take place.
