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 2–3 field players (ages 13–15) 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.
