Information
Whitecaps camps operate in the Lower Mainland as Spring and Summer camps and through BC, as BC camps. BC camps include any areas outside the Lower Mainland including Vancouver Island and the North. The Whitecaps also have a full summer of camps in the Okanagan.
Whitecaps camps are designed as age specific training programs with the objective to ensure players of all levels are challenged, focused and have fun in a professional development environment.
An additional objective is for Whitecaps staff to scout and evaluate players in the various regions, and give those players the chance to play in the club's Prospects youth system. This connection is what makes the Whitecaps camp program so successful and unique.
Camp Management – Sam Lenarduzzi
Sam Lenarduzzi is at all camps as the Camp Manager and regional scout. Sam leads top-class professional instruction from Whitecaps FC youth coaches and players. He is the original captain of the Whitecaps where he played for nine years. Sam has also played for Canada over 47 times and is a member of the Canadian Soccer Hall of Fame. |
