The European Football School hit the pitch at Blackburn Park inviting Shuswap soccer hopefuls out for a week of skills training with expert coaches.
EFS visits Salmon Arm multiple times each year to train with Shuswap Youth Soccer players, with a special spring camp for the development and select teams. EFS is one of the few youth soccer camps in Canada that offers soccer skills training from coaches with international professional experience.
