About Us

At Premier Elite Youth Soccer Camps, operated by East Kootenay Society for Active Living, we are committed to delivering world-class training and development experiences for young aspiring soccer players across the region. Our camps are built on the foundation of Canada Soccer’s Long-Term Player Development (LTPD) model and the UEFA Grassroots philosophy, ensuring each player receives developmentally appropriate, player-centered, and holistic training.

What sets us apart is our team of Canada Soccer-licensed and UEFA-certified coaches—highly experienced professionals who have succeeded both on the field as players and on the sidelines as coaches. Their accomplishments include:

• Representing clubs and academies internationally, gaining valuable experience at the elite level.

• Leading Team BC to a Gold Medal at the 2023 North American Indigenous Games in Halifax.

• Coaching Kootenay Zone 1 to a historic Bronze Medal at the BC Summer Games—the first-ever soccer medal for the Kootenays since the competition began.

These achievements reflect not only technical expertise but also a deep commitment to advancing soccer in British Columbia’s emerging regions.

By aligning with both the LTPD framework and UEFA Grassroots standards, our camps emphasize:

• Technical skill development

• Tactical understanding and decision-making

• Physical literacy and athleticism

• Mental preparation and focus

• Teamwork, respect, and discipline

Our mission is to provide young players with access to elite coaching, age-appropriate training, and meaningful development opportunities that fuel long-term growth in the sport.

Our primary goal is to provide young players with more opportunities to engage in the sport, develop their skills, and nurture their passion for soccer. By employing the UEFA Grassroots model, widely recognized as the gold standard in player development, we ensure that our participants receive age-appropriate and holistic training. Through a comprehensive program that encompasses technical skills, tactical awareness, physical conditioning, and psychological preparation, we empower our participants to become well-rounded and complete athletes.

We believe that every young player deserves a chance to excel in the game they love. By offering our camps based on the UEFA Grassroots model, we strive to create an environment where young players can grow, learn, and thrive. Our goal is to provide them with the tools and opportunities needed to elevate their skills and reach new heights in their soccer journey.
