As part of the Burnaby Girls SC summer program, the Whitecaps will run one specially-designed week-long summer camp July 6 to 10. Each clinic day will run from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at Riverway Park in Burnaby. This camp provides players aged five to 12 (U-6 to U-13) from Burnaby Girls SC - as well as other players from the region - a focused, challenging, and fun Whitecaps professional training environment.
In addition to working with players of all levels, another objective of summer camp week will be to identify talented players by providing them the chance to be evaluated, and be potentially selected to play in the Whitecaps youth system. Former Whitecaps and Canadian national team member Sam Lenarduzzi will lead top-class professional instruction from Whitecaps youth coaches and players during the week.
