How competitive is the Speed of Play Program?

AKASPORT is designed to keep the fun in sports and activities. While we enjoy teaching kids about competition (including the sportsmanship of how to win and lose) we recognize that youth sports in general are overly competitive and can discourage kids from trying new sports. We have the flexibility to group kids with similar abilities from beginner to more elite players so each participant can learn and grow at their own pace.

I am on the waitlist for the All Sports Camp. When will I know if I get in?

AKASPORT staff meet weekly to review any waitlist registrations and contact families as soon as possible to let them know if they can be moved into the program. We do our best to accomodate all registrations.

If you are moved off of the waitlist, you will need to log in to your account to make a payment or set up the payment plan. You will not be charge for the program until you are officially registered (no charge if you are on the waitlist).

What is the cancellation policy for summer programs?
