This year there were 56 players registered compared to 90 in 2021. However, the camps in 2020 had to be cancelled due to the pandemic.
During the summer of 2020 they did hold camps and had 166 participants, low participation compared to the next year when they had 308 participants.
Graham Thompson, assistant technical director with the Ridge Meadows Soccer Club, is expecting a large turn out this summer.
“The focus for our camps is skill development in a fun and inclusive environment,” said Thompson.
