The Canadian Deaf Sports Association (CDSA) is pleased to have created a great partnership with the Canadian Soccer Association. The Canadian Soccer Association organized an Eastern Soccer Assessment Camp in Toronto (26-27 March) and it was a huge success. CDSA’s National Deaf Soccer Head Coach, Matthew Greenwood, was in charge of the Soccer training Camp.
\u200bMatthew Greenwood and the CDSA would like to invite all Deaf Canadian soccer players to come to the Western Assessment camp at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC from 7-8 May 2011. The Head Coach will evaluate the level of the Soccer program and players. Those who missed the Eastern Assessment Camp are welcome to come tryout at the Western Camp.
