The SIGMA International ID Camp Difference

2011 marks the 7^th year the SIGMA International ID Camp returns to Canada, as one of the top events of its kind in North America. Over the years this special event has not only afforded participants the opportunity to further their development under the guidance of the Academy Coaches representing many of Europe's finest clubs, but also select camp participants have since been invited to join development groups (ETC Program) and full time SIGMA FC squads to continue training in the same fashion. These development groups and squads often become the basis for travel and showcase teams who spend time in the US and overseas conducting training camps, playing friendlies and tournaments for and with top US schools and leading youth academies like AFC AJAX.

Camp Objectives
