2014 DENMAN ISLAND RESIDENTIAL SOCCER CAMPS & ONLINE REGISTRATION

We are pleased to provide you the opportunity to live and train in a very special and unique environment on Denman Island. The community has an excellent soccer field, which, in addition to the lakes, ocean and natural environment provides an excellent setting for you to excel. These residential programs have been running since 2000 with tremendous success, for many, the highlight of each and every summer! Each residential camp on Denman Island provides you with the opportunity to work hard on and off the fi eld. There are two training sessions daily, excluding Wednesday (day-trip to Tribune Bay) and Friday (morning session only). The sessions are designed to work on technical training (ie passing) with speed or agility training in the mornings, and the afternoons are reserved for functional training and small sided games. Days are topped off with a refreshing swim at one of the local lakes and Paola’s cooking has become legendary! Be prepared for a residential experience that includes great food and “good times!” 

All participants will be asked to submit a waiver/release form as well as a questionnaire regarding allergies/food and/or acknowledge any special or unique diets prior to the start of camp. All participants will also receive a camp manual to make them familiar with the island,our location and the expectations for the camp. We ask that camp participants be prepared to find their own way to and from the ferry terminal at Buckley Bay at the beginning and end of the camp (please con rm these details prior to the start of the camp).

Please note, the applicants for the Advanced Camps for Player and/or Goalkeepers must contact sheldano@telus.net to confirm eligibility. The Advanced Camps are designed for VIPL, HPL, Provincial and Youth National Team Players. Importantly, all special requests for player movement between programs will be handled on an individual basis.
