Soccer in French: 7 sessions of fun
Soccer in French: 7 sessions of fun 2018 is a great year for soccer. The FIFA World Cup in Russia, Canada’s nomination for co-organizing it in 2026, and the first “Soccer en français” camp in Edmonton. For seven sessions, May 5 to June 23, about 60 children played soccer either for the first time or to improve their skills. With the skills they learned through mini-games, drills and matches, our future stars can now impress their friends during the summer. If the final whistle had not sounded, the sessions would have lasted much longer than the time allowed. Even the rain on June 9 did not slow down the players. Parents and other members of their families came out to encourage participants every Saturday morning.

With their families, players quickly scored their first goals under the supervision of the four coaches Giscard, Modeste, Théodore and Lamine “Fox”. Some parents chose to partake in the fun as assistant coaches and were involved in a few drills. For a number of children, this was their first experience with soccer. The main purpose of this session was to familiarize children with warm-up exercises and to run with the ball. Children in the 3 yeas and 4-5 years categories were the first to arrive, followed by 6-8 years and 9-10 years. Each child received a “Soccer en Français” jersey and a ball with which to practice during the camp. For the families who opted in, photographer Daniel Thériault took photos of the children as mementos of the exploits of their little Ronaldos at the very first French soccer camp in Edmonton! For players with […]
