The 2nd Annual Special Need's Soccer Camps were an immense success! With the expansion of the program, we were able to host two camps on consecutive weeks at a north and a south location, so the opportunity to attend camp was more accessible for all children with Special Needs across York Region.
With one camp running in Aurora at the Sheppard's Bush Turf Field and the other in Vaughan at the Ontario Soccer Association, approximately 40 children enjoyed the opportunity to learn and play soccer while developing their fine and gross motor skills with the assistance of various Club/District Technical Staff and volunteer Youth Mentor Players from the community!
Offered once again to participants free of charge, our program could not have been a success without the generous donations from our 2010 Sponsors (see below).

Basic Camp Information
Disabilites can include but are not limited to: blind/visually impaired, amputees or a condition that impairs mobility, mentally challenged, emotionally challenged, Autistic/Asperger’s, Down Syndrome, Prader-Willi Syndrome,Cerebral Palsy.
There is a ratio of 2:1 of volunteer mentors to child. Most volunteers are youth aged soccer players from our sixteen YRSA Youth Soccer Clubs.
A parent/guardian is required to attend with your child each day to camp to assist the volunteer youth mentors should any problems arise.
Children are split into age specific groups and assessed as to their playing level on the first day of camp.
The playing field is fenced for safety reasons, and there is an accessible washroom facility nearby
