City of Yellowknife Summer Soccer Camps
Each summer for approximately six (6) weeks, the NWT Soccer Association hosts six (6) week-long, half-day camps for youth aged 5-8 and 9-12. Registration is through the City of Yellowknife's "Community Services" department and can be contacted at 867-920-5600. Click here for program details.
These camps are run by experienced athletes who have gone through an application process for the Head Instructor and Assistant Instructor positions. This is one way in which our knowledgeable athletes can give back to their community and get the hands-on experience and perspective of being a coach. The positions pay a generous wage to assist our athletes in their educational and athletic endeavours.
Students interested in applying for this exciting summer position or groups interested in running the summer camps should apply by FEBRUARY 28, 2010 to Vivian Hansen at 873-2270. It is expected that the Camp organizer and Head Instructor will use the following guidance document created by the NWT Soccer Association which outlines all of the considerations necessary to run an effective program.

MACA Summer Sports Camps
Summer students selected by Municipal and Community Affairs (MACA) travel around to various communities throughout the Northwest Territories to provide a variety of instructional sports camps to young athletes. Soccer is one of the sports of focus during these instructional and fun sessions as soccer is one of the most popular sports within the Northwest Territories and continues to grow each year.
The NWT Soccer Association supports these camps as they help to promote physical activity, skill development and instill a passion for the game of soccer. During the summer of 2008, the NWT Soccer Association provided soccer balls to each youth athlete who participated in these camps to further promote the love of the game. We sincerely appreciate the time and effort that employees and volunteers focus on our youth and we look forward to partnering with the MACA Summer Sports Camps for years to come.
