It aims to deepen players’ and coaches’ understanding of modern floorball and equip them to share knowledge in their home countries. It offers motivated players a chance to challenge themselves in a competitive global setting, gain insights for personal development, and discover new ways to play.

The camp also fosters connections among junior players, building international networks. For coaches, it provides an opportunity to enhance skills in an international environment and apply practical methods with driven players during an intensive week-long program.

The camp is intended for both girls and boys in the age group 12–15 years (born 2012-2014). Players and coaches are selected for the camp through an application process. Participants are required to have basic English skills, as the language of instruction is English.

What is IFF Youth Camp

The camp brings together players and coaches from multiple countries for an intensive week of learning and networking. Each country is represented by 1-8 field players (ages 12–15) and one coach, with mixed-nationality teams and three coaches per team. Additional goalkeepers (6–8) will join the program.

Participants will experience competitive 5 vs. 5 games, technical tests, training sessions, and diverse activities. Teams are formed based on technical skills.

Coaches receive dedicated education integrated into the daily schedule, following IFF and Eerikkilä curriculums.

The camp offers an ideal setting for international collaboration, skill development, and building lasting networks.

Camp model

Throughout the camp, participants come together in mixed teams to train, learn, and compete in an inspiring environment. If needed, teams can be adjusted into smaller groups to ensure balanced and engaging games when skill levels vary. All training sessions are led by top experts from both the International Floorball Federation (IFF) and Eerikkilä, guaranteeing world-class development and unforgettable experiences for every participant.
