Useful hints

Which clothes do I need?

Throughout the week you will be wearing the AC Milan sport kit. Hence, you will only need many changes of underwear (you’ll take showers after every training session – two per day) as well as swimming-pool cap, mules, bathrobe/towel, goggles, bath foam and shampoo where the swimming pool is present (Asiago Plateau, Jesolo Lido, Lignano Sabbiadoro). If you attend the AC Milan Academy Camp in Cortina d’Ampezzo or Asiago Montain Plateau – Gallio, all you need is a k-way and a sweatshirt, because if it rains the temperature becomes very low.
 

For the AC Milan Mountain Camps should I bring with me a K-way (rain-jacket)?

Yes, it is necessary and highly recommended to bring a K-way (rain jacket). AC Milan from 2011 no longer provides K-way (rain Jacket) in the AC Milan Academy sports kit ; therefore, because it is likely that there will be some days of rain, we strongly encourage families to give the boys a k-way so they could train even under the soft rain. This applies to those who choose the mountain locations of Cortina d’Ampezzo and Asiago Mountain Plateau – Gallio.
 

Is laundry service included?

No, but if you want to request it you can ask the hotel reception. This service is not included in the AC Milan Academy Camp fee and its cost depends on the kind of underwear. The AC Milan Academy Camp fee includes only the sport kit washing.
 

Do I need sun cream if I choose a seaside resort like Jesolo Lido or Lignano Sabbiadoro?

Yes, you do. You’ll take two training sessions per day in the sun, and then in the afternoon you’ll relax by the swimming-pool and, when you train in the evening (only in Jesolo), you may spend the afternoon at the seaside.
 

Is there always someone who watches over me?

Yes, of course! Throughout the day and at night Sporteventi’s coaches and female assistant will be always at your disposal.
 

If my parents would like to spend their holidays in same period, may they stay in the same hotel as mine?

Yes, they can. It is possible, the important thing is that they do not interfere with the daily activity of the AC Milan Junior Camp.

Parents cannot access the spaces reserved for participants, including the hotel rooms, and can follow training sessions in silence. If they want to be able to take their child with them, even for a short time, they must first arrange it with the Sporteventi’s Manager of the AC Milan Junior Camp.
 

Do I have to have a medium-high technical soccer / football level to attend the AC Milan Academy Junior Camps?

No, a medium-high technical soccer / football level is not required to attend the AC Milan Academy Junior Camps. However, it is important that those who register at the AC Milan Academy Junior Camp are passionate about soccer / football and have the basic skills of playing soccer / football, as well as, obviously, wanting to be with their peers and have fun!
 

Football shoes?

It is necessary to have a pair of football boots with studs categorically in plastic (the AC Milan kit in fact does not include football boots) already broken in in order to avoid any blisters.
 

What do I have to do if I suffer from allergies, intolerances or if I have to remember to take medication every day?

It is important to bring to the Sporteventi secretarial staff’s attention, before starting the camp, any allergies, relevant intolerances and any probable medication which the camper has to take while attending the camp; this is possible when registering on line under the voice “Notes”, or by sending a mail to the secretarial staff (milancamp@sporteventi.it); it would be useful to remind the person in charge when checking-in.
 

Do I have to provide and Individual Insurance for the costs of hospitalization?

Sporteventi, to protect the participants of the AC Milan Junior Camp, provides a Third Parties Civil Liability with a limit of coverage of 5,000,000 Euros.

The Individual Insurance for accidents and injuries is not effective for the not-Italian participants. Therefore the participants NOT ITALIANS must provide for an insurance covering risks of accidents, illnesses and hospitalization during their staying in Italy for at least 200.000 euro.

The insurance policies are signed with the Insurance company “Allianz Spa”.
 

What happens if I cancel my registration? What happens if I get injured or if I get COVID before the camp? Can I unsubscribe? Will I get back what I paid?

The entire registration fee will be refunded in full following cancellation of registration in the following cases:

1. if the cancellation will be communicated to the secretariat office via e-mail (margherita@sporteventi.it) at least 30 days before the start date of the chosen AC Milan Junior Camp;
2. if the cancellation, in case of COVID positivity proven by a positive swab, is communicated to the secretariat office by email (margherita@sporteventi.it) by the Thursday preceding the start date of the chosen AC Milan Junior Camp;
3. if the cancellation, in the event of an injury proven by a medical certificate, is communicated to the secretariat office via email (margherita@sporteventi.it) by the Thursday preceding the start date of the chosen AC Milan Junior Camp.

In the event of violation of the aforementioned deadlines, an amount equivalent to the deposit (400 Euros) will be retained.

Under no circumstances will anything be refunded once the camp has started.
 

Can we give mobile phones, smartphones and PDAs during the AC Milan Junior Camp?

Telephone calls to the participant from parents are generally accepted (except in real emergencies) from 1.15pm to 2.00pm and from 8.30pm to 9.30pm, i.e. after lunch and dinner.

In order to moderate and limit the use of telephones and PDAs during the night (from 10.30pm to 7.30am), at 10.30pm – during the first room check – overnight participants (JUNIOR-formula) will be asked to deposit their cell phones, smartphones and PDAs in the safe of their the room. The combination of the safe will be set and known only by the ASD Sporteventi staff and the hotel management. The safe will be reopened between 7.30am and 8.00am in the morning by the staff.

This protocol aims to prevent children from spending hours on the phone at night, especially on social networks, or from being disturbed by those who do.

We underline that the staff generally cannot access the participants/registrants’ rooms for reasons of minors’ privacy (legal provisions) except for justified and urgent reasons (including, by way of example yet not comprehensive, state of necessity of the participants, disturbing noises, illness).

It is therefore not possible to monitor the behaviour of the participants regarding the use of smartphones and PDAs nor to proceed with their seizure (unless this is requested directly by the parents/guardians). The only way to regulate smartphone/PDAs use in participants/registrants’ accommodation is for parents/guardians to set PARENTAL CONTROLS.

So we remind you that it is always mandatory to activate the parental control!

In case of proven reasons of necessity (homesickness is not among them), specifically communicated to the secretariat office (margherita@sporteventi.it), exceptions will be allowed.
 

Do only Italian boys/girls attend the AC Milan Junior Camp? If I don’t speak Italian, what other language can I communicate in?

The AC Milan Junior Camps managed by Sporteventi are international camps. Boys and girls from more than 50 countries participate every year. The Italian participants are approximately 65%/70% of the total participants. The camps are run in Italian and English. Some of the staff is therefore fluent in English.
 

What size are the hotel/village rooms? How are the hotel/village rooms arranged?

The size of the hotel/village rooms available to participants at the AC Milan Academy Junior Camp change depending on the location as follows:

Cortina d’Ampezzo: rooms for 4, 5 and 6 participants (the main hotel rooms available in bold)

Jesolo Lido: village rooms for 3 and 4 participants (the main village rooms available in bold)

Asiago Plateau: hotel rooms for 3, 4 and 5 participants (the main hotel rooms available in bold)

Lignano Sabbiadoro: village rooms for 4, 5 and 6 participants (the main village rooms available in bold)

The accommodation in the hotel/village rooms is defined by the secretariat office staff based on the following criteria, in order of importance:

1. Indication of parents on the registration form
2. Same age and nationality
3. Same age and language spoken

Are girls allowed? In which week is it preferable for them to register?

Given the difficulty of having a group of girls at the camp to whom we can assign an entire hotel room, we have assigned 2/3 hotel rooms to the girls staying overnight and authorized the registration of the girls with the JUNIOR Formula (residential) only in the week from 14 to 20 July 2024 at the Asiago Plateau – Gallio.
