Summer vacation – those magical 8 weeks when kids have endless energy and parents are desperately trying to figure out how to channel it into something productive. You know the drill: “Mom, I’m bored!” starts around 10 AM on the first day of break, and by week two, you’re questioning every life choice that led to this moment.
Good news! Can Sports Center’s 2025 Summer Camp is opening registration, and this isn’t your typical “arts and crafts while we watch movies” situation. We’re talking professional level sports training that’ll have your kids actually excited to get up in the morning.
8 Weeks of Pure Athletic Awesome (July 7 – August 29)
The Setup: Monday through Friday, ages 6-18 welcome
The Schedule:
- Morning crew: 9 AM – 12 PM (perfect for early birds)
- Afternoon squad: 1 PM – 4 PM (great for night owls)
- Full-day champions: Combine both for maximum training
And here’s the kicker – you can mix and match days based on your family’s summer plans. Beach vacation for a week? No problem. Grandparents visiting? We’ve got you covered.

Let’s Talk About Badminton
“Badminton? Isn’t that just backyard barbecue entertainment?”
Wait until you see what happens when kids train under former national team players and Olympic-level coaches. We’re talking:
The Athletic Reality Check:
- Shuttlecocks flying at 200+ mph (faster than tennis balls!)
- Lightning-quick court coverage and explosive movements
- Strategic thinking that would impress a chess master
- Hand-eye coordination that transfers to every other sport
Your child learns from people who’ve actually competed at the highest levels. They spot technique issues before they become permanent problems and teach proper form that prevents injuries.
The Multi-Sport Magic (Markham Exclusive)
The Basketball + Badminton combo isn’t just “let’s do two sports.” It’s strategic athletic development:
How badminton makes basketball better:
- Precise footwork = better defense and positioning
- Quick reactions = improved steal attempts
- Hand-eye coordination = sharper passing
How basketball makes badminton better:
- Strength building = more powerful smashes
- Court awareness = better shot placement
- Competitive mindset = tournament readiness
Training on a professional basketball court indoor facility year-round means kids never lose momentum, regardless of weather.
The result: Kids who understand movement, strategy, and sportsmanship across different sports while never getting bored.
What Actually Happens During Camp
Morning Sessions: Skill development through drills that feel like games. Coaches work with small groups, giving individual attention while keeping energy high.
Afternoon Sessions: Strategy implementation, friendly competitions, and structured gameplay. Advanced kids work on tournament concepts while beginners master basics in real game situations.
The atmosphere: Professional facilities push kids to step up their effort naturally. They train like real athletes because they train in real athletic facilities.
