Program Overview


Delivered as a PoCo FC program in partnership with MCR Soccer Coaching, the camp focuses on movement, confidence and learning through play in a safe and supportive environment.

The goal is to help every child feel comfortable, included and excited to come back each day.

Each day is designed to keep players moving, smiling and engaged with lots of opportunities to explore the game through play.


Players will take part in:

  • Simple ball work to help players become comfortable dribbling, stopping and controlling the ball

  • Fun, imaginative games that keep players active while introducing basic soccer ideas

  • Playful 1v1 moments that encourage confidence and creativity on the ball

  • Small-sided games (2v2, 3v3) that allow players to experience real soccer in a simple, enjoyable way with lots of touches
