THE SKILL CENTRE
Westcastle International Academy Skill Centre is for players U9 to U13.
The primary focus of this Skill Centre program is to develop and support players wishing to play at the highest levels of youth soccer in Canada, the PDP and Competitive Pathway (U14-U18). The training environment resembles the game environment, with each training session focusing on relevant, game-realistic skill development, for motivated athletes.
Westcastle ID Camps
Westcastle ID Camps are a great chance for young players to come out, have fun, and show what they can do in a positive and supportive environment.
These free camps are open to all players, regardless of experience level, who love the game, want to challenge themselves, learn from experienced coaches, and see if Westcastle’s programs might be the right fit for them.
There’s no obligation to join—just a great opportunity to play, learn, and explore what Westcastle has to offer.
Advance the Game. Develop the Player. Define the Pathway.
