\u200b“While the month of May allowed the players to have priority on game fitness and W-League upstart, the Nanaimo camp kicks off the busiest summer season ever for the Women’s National team,\u0094 said Pellerud. \u0093The camp will be an extremely busy week for the players; with emphasis on fitness as well as mental training and lots of practices and scrimmages.

\u200b\u0093It is our hope that by the end of this camp we have stepped our level on defence and offence, and that we have secured a good physical foundation for the upcoming fall schedule. On a shorter term, we will take advantage of this camp in preparing the team for the exciting showdown against the experienced Italy team later this month in Toronto.
