Summer Camp

Half-days (mornings) only

For the 4-5 year-olds, camp will start at 9am and end at 12pm and will consist of a combination of free time, indoor time (if allowed), park time and of course, soccer time. We will provide a fun and inclusive environment giving all children the chance to laugh, play, learn, discover and make new friends!

This program focuses on teaching the fundamental aspects of sporting participation, encouraging each of our young campers to development physical literacy (agility, balance and coordination) as well as social skills (playing with others and listening to a coach). In introducing children to the basic technical dimensions of the game, our program is designed to allow participants to explore with the ball and to engage with the core skills of dribbling in a competition free environment.

The soccer portions of the morning are also balanced with some indoor games time and park time. The indoor games portion allows players to cool off and socialize with each other in a relaxed indoor space. Park time is a great chance to enjoy the best parts of being a kid – the freedom to run, jump, climb and play!

Options: Full Day (9am to 4pm) or Half Day (9am to 12pm)

For ages 6+, we offer a morning only (9-12) or full day (9-4) options. The morning will consist of instructed soccer activities and games followed by the opportunity for alternative sports and games in the late morning. For the full-day campers, part of the afternoon (except on Monday), we will be at the outdoor community pool for a supervised free swim in the shallow end (no instruction given). A great way to cool off and refresh! If swimming is not an option, the campers will play alternative sports or scrimmages instead.

This program strives to guide the technical development of young players as they continue to be introduced to the game. At this stage of development there is a strong focus on dribbling skills with the ball, so we try to keep a high ball to player ratio allowing for lots of contact time with the ball and opportunities to develop. The inclusion of structured small-sided games (1v1 to 5v5) allows young players to begin the process of transferring skills into game scenarios.

Options: Full Day (9am to 4pm) or Half Day (9am to 12pm)
This program looks to allow players to acquire a greater level of understanding of soccer and familiarity with the ball. In nurturing the child’s initial engagement with the game, our coaches deliver a program which emphasizes consistent child attachment to the ball, incorporating a high level of technique refinement as opposed to tactical or team play. The inclusion of structured small-sided games (3v3 up to 7v7) allows young players to begin the process of transferring skills into game scenarios.

As per North Toronto Soccer’s Lightning & Inclement Weather Policy, if lightning is seen or thunder is heard, all games, practices and soccer activities will be postponed or cancelled at the discretion of the match officials or relevant staff. In the case of Lightning and/or Thunder all players and staff must get off the field to a safe area or shelter and cannot return until 30 minutes after the last incident of thunder or lightning.

At Summer Camp and Academy, we may use our clubhouse for shelter if needed. The Camp & Academy Director will be watching the weather forecast closely and updating parents if any inclement weather is expected. The different scenarios to be prepared for will be:

i) In the case of Inclement Weather in the morning, before camp/academy is set to start, the camp director will update all parents if drop off will need to be delayed to let the storm pass by and have players on the field in a safe environment. Should any campers need to be dropped off due for supervision, the clubhouse will be used to play quiet games or watch a movie.

ii) In the case of Inclement Weather during the camp/academy morning before lunch, the camp director will update all parents if pickup will be necessary to avoid having players on the field during a storm. As the storm passes and it is deemed safe to return to the field parents will be updated about camp resuming if they are able to drop off players for the remainder of camp. Any campers that cannot be picked up can stay in the clubhouse to be supervised and play quiet games or watch a movie.

iii) In the case of Inclement Weather in the afternoon, after lunch has passed, the camp director will update all parents if the end of day pickup will need to be moved earlier to avoid having players on the field during a storm. Any campers that cannot be picked up can stay in the clubhouse to be supervised and play quiet games or watch a movie.
