What equipment does my child need to pack for soccer summer camp?

Players should bring outdoor soccer cleats, shin guards (mandatory), a hat, and a pair of indoor runners in case sessions move indoors due to weather. Apply sunscreen before arrival — coaches will remind players to reapply throughout the day.

Are the summer camp coaches parent volunteers or professionals?

RDT summer camps are fully staffed by professional RDT coaching staff and experienced instructors. Unlike the grassroots mini soccer programs, camps do not involve parent volunteers — all supervision and coaching is handled by RDT professionals.

How does RDT handle extreme heat or poor air quality during summer camp?

Player safety is the top priority. On high-heat days, sessions move into the shade, water breaks are increased, and physical intensity is reduced. If the Environment Canada Heat Index or Air Quality (AQHI) reaches unsafe levels, RDT utilizes the indoor facilities at the community centre.

Q: Is the soccer summer camp only about soccer?

While the primary focus is soccer skill development, RDT incorporates fitness, agility training, and low-organized games to keep energy levels high and ensure a fun, well-rounded summer camp experience.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if it rains during a Summer Camp day?

At our primary camp locations like Whyte Ridge Community Centre, we have access to indoor space to ensure the camp proceeds regardless of the weather. If it rains, we move the fun inside for indoor soccer drills, tactical games, or multi-sport activities until it’s safe to return to the fields.

What equipment does my child need to pack for camp?

Players should bring outdoor soccer cleats, shin guards (mandatory), and a hat. We also recommend packing a pair of indoor runners in case we move indoors due to weather. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen before arrival. Our coaches will also provide reminders for reapplication throughout the day.

Are the coaches parent volunteers or professionals?

Our summer camps are led by our professional RDT coaching staff and experienced instructors. Unlike our grassroots mini soccer programs where parents assist our coaching staff with logistics e.g. substitutions, our camps are fully staffed by RDT professionals to provide high-level training and constant supervision.

Is the camp only about soccer?

While the primary focus is soccer skill development, we keep the energy high by incorporating fitness, agility training, and low-organized games to prevent burnout and ensure the kids have a fun, well-rounded “summer camp” experience.

How do you handle extreme heat or poor air quality?

Your child’s safety is our priority. On high-heat days, we move sessions into the shade, increase the frequency of water breaks, and decrease physical intensity.
