Whitecaps FC Skills Challenge

The Whitecaps have introduced a new Skills Challenge into this year’s camps!

Skills Challenge Drills:

• 4 challenges: Dribbling, Turning, Receiving, and Passing
• Players tested daily
• Players receive an accumulation of points for each challenge
• At the end of camp players get a challenge scorecard with a total score

Philosophy

• There is more to a player than their score in a Challenge!
• Our philosophy is to motivate self-improvement. Each player is encouraged to do the best they can and use the scores to track their own development over time.

Skills Challenge Finale

• 100 players with the best scores and attitude will be selected from camps across the country and invited to a Skills Challenge Finale with the date to be determined
• Tentative Schedule:
  • Noon. Challenge Finale at the Whitecaps training centre at UBC
    • Includes final challenges and a tour of the training centre.
  • Whitecaps FC match for all players

*Note – 2 tickets included. Any travel expenses are the responsibility of the family.
