Randolph Academy Seasonal Camps:
The academy runs camps in various venues all year round during school breaks & holidays. Prices for camps will vary based on how many days a camp will be in a specific location. All payments & bookings for camps must be done online and places are subject to a first come first serve basis. Bookings can be made at www.darrenrandolph.com/camps
Please note there is NO registration fee applicable to take part in the Randolph Academy camps.
Cancellations will be accepted for camps up to 14 days before the start date and time and a full refund will be given.
If a player decides not to continue with the camp once the camp has started, no refunds will be issued.
In the unlikely event that the weather forces the cancellation of the full week’s activities a full refund will be issued. If the weather causes only partial cancellation of the week, no refund will be issued.
There is no option for part payment for camps where a player can only attend a preferred number of days or times.
Where there is a free gift or merchandise included with the camps, they will be distributed to the players at any stage throughout the week. If in the event, that the gift is not available or there is a shortage, the player will receive this at the earliest possible time following the camp. The parents will be advised and communicated with in this event.
Randolph Academy cannot take responsibility for the weather affecting a camp going ahead or the playing conditions. In the event that the weather deems a pitch or facility unplayable, the coaches will supervise the players appropriately until either coaching can commence again or a decision is made to cancel the camp for the rest of the day. In this case all parents will be called and players supervised until each child can be collected.
We understand that sometimes parents can be delayed in picking up a child from camp. If this happens we ask that parents make immediate contact with the academy info@darrenrandolph.com when they know they will be late, so that we can make arrangements with the coach to supervise the child until an adult is available to collect the child. After 20 mins, a fee of €10 per 15 mins of waiting becomes applicable to cover the cost of the hourly rate of the coach whom will wait with the child. Please note that our insurance does not cover children on site after the finish time of the camp.
The Role of Darren Randolph in the Randolph Academy:
Darren Randolph is the owner of Randolph Academy. As a current Goalkeeper in the Premier League and also an Irish International Goalkeeper, his schedule is controlled 100% by his club and is subject to change at the last minute at the discretion of the manager. On signing with his professional club, he undertakes a commitment to obey and honor all club & management rules and instructions and during the season this is his contractual obligation. When on international duty, given the short amount of training time the team has together, there is no option for Darren while at home for matches to leave the confines of the team environment at any stage, 24/7 without prior permission from the manager. As much as Darren would love to be able to make decisions to attend the sessions while back in Dublin for , this is not an option
