Frequently Asked Questions

Are parents allowed to join during the camp?

Parents may stay in the same accommodation where the team will stay but the players will stay with the other participants. You are also encouraged to take this opportunity for your child to learn independence and responsibility while you take this time also to roam around Japan without kids. :)

Can we take the Narita airport instead of Haneda?

Yes you may but Narita is 1.5 hours to 2 hours away from Haneda airport by train.

How do we get an update from the players?

A Viber Community will be formed and all communication will be coursed through that platform.

What do the players need to bring?

A checklist of things to bring will be given a month before departure.

What age group are allowed to join?

U9 to U13 participants for the year 2026 are welcome to join.

Can we go ahead or extend our stay in japan?

Of course! Only May 20 to 24 are the required days of stay for the camp. You may go ahead of the team and just meet the group at Haneda airport on May 20 or after drop off of players on May 24, you may have a trip as a family. Airfare may be omitted in the payment.

Can we pay in terms?

Yes. We understand that this entails a lot of financial preparation. You may settle the airfare and accommodation first. (Japan Visa is required before booking a flight.) Meals, transfers, and training fee shall be paid 60 days before the camp.

When can we confirm?

We need at least 16 participants to proceed. We hope to finalize the number of players at least 60 days before the camp. However, the cost of airfare will be taken out from the cost already.

How will we process the Japan visa?

We’ll give you a list of the requirements, and we will provide the invitation letter from Shonan Bellmare.

Can we cancel after 60 days of confirmation?

For cancellations, if payment has been given to the agency and Shonan Bellmare, we cannot guarantee to refund everything.

How will the kids go to a convenience store for breakfast?

The team will schedule a visit in a convenience store on our way back to the hotel after training.

When will we know if they will be able to watch a J-league or do sightseeing?

When 2026 match schedule has been released, we will inform through Viber.

Can the parents watch the camp or join in sightseeing?

Yes you may visit them during camp. You may also join the sightseeing on May 24 but an additional cost per head will be charged for the transportation.
