Note – all camps listed below will operate with both the SUSC Return To Play Plan and BC Soccer’s ‘Committed to Safe Sport’ guidelines and recommendations.

OVERVIEW

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic EMSP / SUSC has revised summer programming to correspond with the guidelines & restrictions from ViaSport, BC Soccer and Canada Soccer. The revised 2020 Summer Camps schedule is below; most camps will be 5-day, 1 hour 45 min per/day individual / small group skill development opportunity offered to players Under 9 (2012 born) to Under 18 (2003 born). The program will follow the SUSC Safe Return to Play Plan.

The camps will focus on speed & agility, ball mastery, passing & controlling, and shooting during each week. Under the current Return To Play guidelines (published June 5, 2020), there will be no games or activities where players will be in physical contact with other players. The restrictions are subject to change; our summer camp curriculums will be flexible and will change immediately once restrictions are lifted. This could happen before the start of the posted camp dates and would take effect in the next camp.
