Camp faq

The Dutch Connections FC Academy coaches, include former professional and Canadian International players. The knowledge and expertise on the pitch is unique by Canadian standards. This will help to provide the ultimate camp experience for all the players.

1 coach for every 12-14 players. We always prefer to organize smaller groups so that players receive more individual attention.

All participants are separated by age. Within the first two days, the participants are all evaluated by Feyenoord Academy Coaches and placed in groups based on their skill level.

Players will generally train on natural grass.  However, the Winter Development Camp and PA Day Camps are held at Indoor turf facilities. 

Injuries are unfortunately a part of contact and collision sports such as soccer. On each field we will have more than one First Aid Certified Staff member. A fully qualified professional will always be on site to access the injury and treat them accordingly.

Each participant in the DCFC Development Camps will receive a DCFC Camp and Feyenoord Camps Canada Players will receive a Feyenoord camp training kit.  Camp training kits will be provided on the first day of camp once players check in and should be worn for the duration of the camp.

Parents can visit during training sessions as long as they do not interfere in the process of the program. 

Lunch is not included in the camp cost. Players must bring their own snacks and lunch. A shaded seating area will be provided for players to rest and recover between trainings while they enjoy their snacks and lunch.

Lunch break is daily from 11:15am – 12:15pm. There will be snack and designated water breaks as well.

Players must bring Soccer cleats, healthy snacks, lunch and a water bottle.  It is also highly recommended that players bring shin guards and isotonic drinks such as Powerade or Gatorade.  During the outdoor season players should bring sunscreen. 

Registrations are on a first come first serve basis. The registration form must be completed online and payment received to complete registration.
