July 13โ17 โ 1UP returned to Vernon, B.C. for our 2nd annual Okanagan Game Changer Camp. 1UP sent five coaches โ Keegan Biggs, Will Fiore, Anthony Garmory, Alec Wells and Marc Frey โ to run five days of technical training, 1v1 battles, finishing work, and small-sided games for the Okanagan ballers. The energy from every player made it a week to remember, on and off the pitch.
๐๏ธ Hear what Coach Marc had to say:
Marc Frey
1UP Community Outreach
"Vernon camp was a 10/10 โ amazing players, weather, pitch and coaches. I saw a lot of familiar faces and so much improvement since our last camp in March, which is exactly why I love being a coach. Highlight of the week: cooling off in the lake after a long day, and getting 60 headers in a row with the coaches. I do believe 1UP will be back in Vernon."

Thanks to every player, family and coach who made it happen. Okanagan, we'll be back soon ๐
