Brit-Am Soccer Summer Camps - Registration Open!

Every player/group that attends our camps will have a qualified professional head coach, who works with Brit-Am Soccer Academy throughout the year. Counsellors will also be available to aid the coaches during all practice sessions.

AGE 4-6 TOT CAMP 
Each morning will concentrate on teaching each player, the rules of the game, and basic techniques. This will be done by the use of small games such as some of the kid’s favorites, sharks and minnows, stuck in the mud, red light-green light, Cowboys and Indians and the Blob. All these games will help develop motor skills and cognitive abilities. For the slightly older children, we will also conduct game like scrimmages, where the players will get to learn the rules of the "REAL GAME", and compete in team activities.

Not to forget scrimmage time, we will put the players into teams and let them play each other. 
Prizes can also be won during the week through player participation in the best dressed soccer player competition and best soccer hat competition

AGE 7 & 8 PRE ACADEMY CAMP 

Each morning coaches will focus on teaching the FUNdamental techniques of soccer such as running with the ball, turning, passing and receiving and shooting. This will be done using individual and small group activities. These games also help players improve their coordination, balance, speed, and basic motor skills.

AGE 9 to 13 DAY CAMP 
Each morning coaches will focus on teaching the techniques of soccer such as running with the ball, turning, passing and receiving, ball control, dribbling, shielding and shooting. This will be done using individual and small group activities, such as 1v1 attacking and defending. Some tactical components will also be addressed through small group activities to include 2v1, 3v1 and 3v2 thru to 4v4 scrimmages. These games will also help players develop the key physical aspects needed for soccer such as agility, balance, coordination and speed.
