2026 Summer Camps and Classes
Ballard FC & Salmon Bay FC Youth Soccer Camps are designed to provide a fun, energetic, and development-focused experience for players of all skill levels. Built around a “fun first” philosophy, these camps create an environment where young athletes can grow their love for the game while improving their technical ability, confidence, and understanding of soccer.
Open to boys and girls ages 5–13, camps are led by a mix of professional coaches, current and former Ballard FC and Salmon Bay FC players, and experienced youth coaches from the local soccer community. Each session emphasizes individual skill development while also incorporating small-sided games and scrimmages.
Campers are grouped by age and ability to ensure an appropriate level of challenge and instruction. Whether a player is brand new to soccer or already competing at a high level, the curriculum is designed to meet them where they are and help them take the next step. The goal is to create an inclusive, positive environment where every camper feels supported, engaged, and excited to improve.
A unique aspect of Ballard FC & Salmon Bay FC camps is the direct connection to the clubs’ pre-professional pathway. Campers have the opportunity to interact with players and coaches from both teams, giving them insight into higher levels of the game while building a stronger connection to their local soccer community. This creates an inspiring atmosphere that extends beyond the field and encourages long-term development and passion for soccer.
The 2026 summer camp schedule includes multiple sessions hosted throughout North Seattle, with both half-day and full-day options available all summer long.
All camps are hosted at convenient local fields and are structured to keep players active, learning, and having fun throughout the week. Every camper also receives exclusive camp gear and a free ticket to a Ballard FC or Salmon Bay FC home match, connecting their camp experience to the excitement of game day.
