Power Soccer School of Excellence, Canada’s leading soccer school for kids, hosts their popular Summer Camps in parks across Toronto again this year. These action-packed day camps for players aged 4-15 help kids develop their soccer skills all summer long while also staying active and making new friends! Children in all skill levels are welcome, plus there are both half-day and full-day options available.
Power Soccer Summer Camps provide kids with proven soccer instruction, fresh air and exercise, and plenty of fun. This program provides specific coaching to develop the players’ skills through games and skill-building activities. Campers learn numerous soccer skills, such as ball control, passing for possession, support play, positional sense, movement with and without the ball, dribbling and shooting skills. Furthermore, safety is the top priority so Power Soccer ensures a low player-to-coach ratio, so their licensed and enthusiastic coaches can instruct a fun and dynamic program.
While most of the groups are co-ed, there are also select weeks available at Glendon College for girl-only groups. All skill levels are welcome as the summer camps cater to a variety of skill levels. These range from beginner to intermediate ability, as well as advanced groups. Before and after-care packages can also be added.
