Yes! Most of our camps are open to all players in and outside of our club, with the exception of our Academy Camp which is specifically tailored toward our club players.
Tryouts are held for our programs beginning at level U12. There are no tryouts for our Skill Centre or Community programs.
If you are interested in an Academy level, AA, A or B level, please register for the program of your interest. If your player is moved to a different program or level, we will prorate or add any additional fees to your registration if you accept the invite.
Please note that during the registration period, we receive an influx of emails, calls and messages and will do our very best to respond in a timely manner. You can expect to receive a response within 48-72 hours (please refer to our office hours for further information).
Unfortunately due to time constraints, there will be no make-up sessions or pro-rated refunds due to poor weather/field closures. Field closures and extreme weather conditions are beyond our control. We will always strive to ensure that programming is offered when we have access to fields and it does not jeopardize the safety of our players. Any cancellations will be clearly communicated via TeamSnap.
Join us on the field this season—skills, friendships, and great memories await.
