Finding the right training shouldn’t feel like a roll of the dice

As a parent, investing in your child's athletic growth comes with big expectations. But it's easy to end up in a program where the 'coach' is unexperienced or unqualified, and the group is too big for anyone to get real attention. You deserve complete confidence that your child is building genuine skills, staying safe, and growing their love for the game.

So you never have to wonder

The three things that actually keep parents up at night, and exactly how we handle each one.

Not wasted money

You won't pay for a camp of babysitting

Every session is built by professionals around real coaching and high reps.

Not a kid who quits

You won't watch them lose interest

Camps are built to challenge athletes without burning them out, so the fun stays the reason they keep playing.

Not left in the dark

You won't be left wondering if they were safe

Small groups mean your child is never out of sight, and you'll always know exactly how camp went.

What parents tell us

“I watched him walk up and join a group of kids he'd never met without hesitating for a second. That's not something I'd ever seen him do before camp.”

— Mike D., Toronto

“It's been three months and she still texts two girls from her cabin group almost every week. I expected her footwork to get better. I didn't expect her to make friends like that.”

— Sarah L., Vancouver

“I'll admit I was nervous about who'd actually be watching him day to day. Turned out I didn't have a single thing to worry about. The coaches knew his name by day two and I got a text the one time he scraped his knee. That's all I wanted.”

— James T., Halifax

You trusted your gut on this one and it paid off. That's what showing up for your kid looks like.

Amazing place to train

Motive Athletics is an amazing place to train. The coaches are knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely care about helping each athlete improve-not just physically, but mentally too. The environment is positive, motivating, and welcoming for all skill levels. Workouts are challenging, well-structured, and actually fun. Highly recommend Motive Athletics to anyone looking to get stronger and better!

So much more confident

Amazing camp. My daughter came home so much more confident and the coaches were incredible with her. Highly recommend.

Awesome

My daughter had a blast with Motive - Joseph went out of his way to accommodate her. The photography was a nice touch and Coaches Luke and Dez were awesome.

Worth it

Honestly great value. Way less than what club charges and my son got so much out of the few days. Came home happy and noticeably better with the ball.

Great session

The lacrosse coaches are not only knowledgable, caring and truly care about training these kids to meet their next level. Great session, but wish it was at least twice a year! Feedback would be to make this 5 star would be to ensure just a little more organization happens at the beginning of the session.

Real role models

Coach Priya and the university players she brought in jumped right into drills with the girls. Great role models, my daughter loved it.

Professional coaches

My son had an amazing experience at the goalkeeper camp in Calgary! Coaches were all professionals and great role models for my son. Loved the energy and will definitely be back again.

So many touches

I was worried he'd be standing around but the groups were small and he was on the ball the whole time. Proper coaching, stopping the drills to make sure he gets the right habits down.

She actually improved

Her passing and first touch got noticeably better in just three days. Really impressed.

Not enough time to show what they could do

Coaching was solid but a few days just isn't enough time to really see what these coaches can do with a kid. Felt like he was finally getting into a rhythm right as it ended. Would come back for a longer format.

Felt really safe

My daughter rolled her ankle and staff had her iced and checked within minutes. Felt really safe with them watching her.

Refund was easy

My son missed a day and they gave me a fair prorated price, one email and done. After hearing about camps ignoring parents I was relieved how simple it was.

Perfect for a beginner

She'd never played before and I was worried she'd be lost, but they grouped everyone by level so she wasn't overwhelmed. Hoping to come to the next one.

Bring lots of water

Really good camp, coaching was excellent. Only tip is it was a warm one so pack extra water, my son drained his by halfway. Small thing otherwise no complaints.

Challenged my club player

My daughter plays high level and I thought she'd coast through this. Nope haha, they pushed her hard. She came home exhausted and happy.

No fake promises

Appreciated they were honest about the college and pro thing instead of promising scholarships. Made me trust them more.

Super organized

Super organized. Clear emails before camp and drop off and pick up ran on time all three days.

Loved the photos

Didn't expect it but they sent a photo album after with some great action shots of my son. Small touch but he loved seeing himself play.

The Q and A meant a lot

She got to ask the college players questions and get autographs after. Made a real impression on her.

So much more confident

My daughter came back passing like a completely different player. The coaches broke her form down instead of just running her through drills. She's already asking when the next one is.

Actual reps on the ball

Small groups meant she was getting touches the whole time instead of standing in line waiting her turn. That alone made it worth it.

She can finally serve

Her serve was the one thing holding her back and by day three she had it down. The coach worked with her one on one until it clicked.

Felt safe diving

With all the diving for digs I worried about scrapes, but the coaches taught proper technique first and watched them closely the whole time.

Had to dial back the intensity

Training was seriously intense, which we liked, but by the last day we had to ask the coaches to ease up on her reps so she wasn't too sore for club practice that weekend. Worth flagging for anyone with a game right after.

My setter loved it

She plays setter and usually gets ignored at camps that only focus on hitting. This one actually worked her position specifically, she came home thrilled.

Great for a beginner

She just picked up volleyball this year and I worried she'd be behind the club girls. They grouped by level so she wasn't overwhelmed at all.

Pushed my club player

My daughter plays club and I figured she'd dominate. The coaches ran her through drills harder than her own practices. She came home sore and happy.

Really organized

Clear emails before camp with times and what to bring. Drop off and pick up were smooth all three days, no standing around waiting.

Refund was easy

She missed the last day for a tournament conflict and they refunded it with one email, no hassle at all.

Her draw controls improved so much

She struggled at the draw and by day two she was winning most of them. The coach broke down her technique instead of letting her develop bad habits.

Constant stick work, not just drills

Small groups were great! I think this program is new so it was a small but it meant she was getting cradling and dodging reps constantly instead of standing around waiting her turn.

She can finish now

Her shot was always weak and the coaches worked with her one on one until it had way more power behind it. Noticeable at her next game.

Felt safe

She took a stick check to the arm and staff had it checked right away. Clearly paying close attention to the girls the whole time.

Had to dial back the intensity

Really intense camp, which we liked, but we asked them to ease up on her reps the last day since she had a club game that weekend and we didn't want her too sore. They were fine with it when we asked.

Great for a beginner

She just started this year and I worried she'd be totally lost next to the club girls. They grouped by level so she fit right in.

Pushed my club player

She plays club and I figured she'd coast through this. They pushed her harder in ground balls than her own team does. Came home sore and happy.

Really organized

Clear emails ahead of time about gear and timing. Drop off and pick up ran smoothly every single day.

Refund handled fast

She could only make two of the three days and they refunded the difference with one email, no back and forth.

The Q and A meant a lot to her

She got to ask a college player about recruiting and hasn't stopped talking about it since. Best part of camp for her.

Easy group discount

Signed up with a bunch of his teammates and got the group discount, just emailed them. Easy and it saved us all a bit.

My shy girl opened up

She's shy and was nervous going in but came out with new friends and a lot more confidence. The coaches were so encouraging with her.

Real attention

Because the groups were small he got actual coaching, not just standing in a big line. The coach knew his name and what to fix by day one.

Staff I trusted

I asked a lot of questions about supervision before signing up and they answered everything. Go Motive!

Honest advice

I asked if he should just focus on soccer and drop his other sports and the coach told me to keep him in a few for now. Didn't expect that honesty.

A bit of a drive

Coaching was fantastic. Only reason for four stars is the field is a bit of a drive for us.

Affordable and great

Way more affordable than private sessions and honestly just as good. Great value.

Coaches actually care

You can tell the staff genuinely want the kids to get better and enjoy it. My son felt seen and came home buzzing. Rare to find that.

Confidence and her first goal

She came back so much more confident and scored a great goal in the final scrimmage. Hasn't stopped smiling since.

Had to re enter his info

Camp was excellent, no issues there. Only minor thing was I had to type his info in twice during signup. Tiny annoyance, everything else was smooth.

Perfect weekend format

Loved that it was just a weekend instead of a whole week to plan around. Great camp, we'll be back next year.

He didn't want it to end

My son begged to go back each day and was gutted when it ended. That's how I know it was worth it. Already looking for the next one.

Worth every penny

Best keeper training we've found for the price. My son faced more shots in three days than in a whole season and loved every minute. Way cheaper than the private sessions we looked at.

Actual keeper coaches

These are pro goalkeepers who've played at a high level, not club soccer coaches. My daughter finally learned proper positioning and set position.

He came home filthy

My son came home covered in mud with grass stained gloves. They didn't adjust the training to make sure he wouldn't get dirty.

So many reps

My worry was him standing in a net doing nothing. Instead he was diving and catching non stop in a small group. He was worked all camp, came home super tired.

Real improvement in footwork

In three short days his footwork and handling clearly improved. The coaches broke down his technique instead of just firing balls at him.

Felt safe diving all day

With all the diving I worried about knocks, but staff were well trained and watched them closely. My daughter got a scrape checked right away. Total peace of mind.

Wish it was longer

Excellent coaching, no complaints there. Only knocking a star because the three hour session was short and my son wanted more time on the field.

Finally a camp just for keepers

At regular camps my son gets stuck in net with no gk coaching. Here it was all goalkeeper specific. First camp that actually developed his positional technique.

Great for a new keeper

My daughter just started in goal and I worried she'd be behind. They grouped by age and level so she learned the basics with kids at her stage. She left loving it.

Pushed my rep keeper

My son plays apdl and I feared he'd be bored. The coaches challenged his footwork and angles harder than his club does. He came home buzzing.

Everything was clear

Got detailed emails before camp about times, location, parking, and what to bring. Drop off and pick up were smooth all three days.

Now he only wants to play keeper

My son used to be a striker and now he refuses to play anywhere but goal. They turned him into a keeper for life.

Fair with the refund

My son could only make two of the three days and they sorted a pro rated price with one email, no hassle.

Booked with confidence

I don't trust every sports site online, but the checkout was quick and secure.

Honest about the pathway

I liked that they talked about the college and pro pathway realistically. Just genuine guidance on what it takes. My daughter found it motivating.

The Q and A made his week

My son got to ask pro keepers questions and even got autographs. He talked about it for days. You can tell the staff actually care about inspiring the kids.

Loved the photos

They had a photographer capturing the action and sent us a whole album afterward. Some incredible shots of my daughter mid dive. Great touch.

Group discount was easy

Registered my son with four of his teammates and got the 15% off with a quick email. Simple process, and it made a real difference on the cost for all of us.

My daughter felt right at home

She's often the only girl keeper on her team and can feel out of place. The coaches treated her like any other keeper and she left more confident than ever.

Positioning finally clicked

The thing my son needed most was positioning and distribution, and that's exactly what they drilled. Small details he never got from his club coach.

Bring long sleeves

Really solid camp. One tip since it's on turf, pack long sleeves and pants because there will be diving scrapes. Beyond that, no complaints at all.

Fun without the pressure

It was competitive but quite fun, and my son never felt pressured. He usually dreads drills but here he was smiling through all of them.

Staff I trusted

Before booking I asked about supervision and training. Staff are screened and the kids are watched even at breaks. That sealed it for me.

Affordable for real keeper training

Private keeper coaching costs a fortune. This gave my daughter three days of it for a fair price. Honestly the best value in goalkeeper training we've found.

Confidence through the roof

My son is quiet and hesitant in goal. By day three he was commanding his box and diving without fear. The change in his confidence was worth it alone.

They answered everything

I sent a list of questions before signing up and got fast, clear replies each time. The camp delivered on all of it.

Easy to sign up

Registered my daughter in a few minutes on my phone. Simple payment, instant confirmation, and a reminder before camp.

He's stopping way more

After the camp my son is reading shots better and stopping way more of them. The reflex and shot stopping work clearly paid off.

Real personal attention

Because the keeper group was small, my daughter got personal coaching on every rep. The coach knew exactly what to fix by the first hour.

Sign up early

Spots are limited and it fills fast, for good reason. Top keeper coaching, organized, and fair priced. Already booked my son for the next one.

Perfect weekend for keepers

Love that it's a focused few days, not a whole week to plan around. Great value and my daughter got so much out of it. We'll be back next season.

Worth every penny

Best goalie training we've found for the price. My son faced more shots in three days than in a whole season and loved every minute of it.

Actual goalie coaches

These are people who played goalie at a high level, there were no field players. My daughter finally learned proper footwork in the crease.

He came home filthy

My son came home absolutely covered in dirt and grass stains after three days in the crease.

So many reps

My worry was him standing in the crease doing nothing. Instead he was making saves nonstop in a small group with two coaches watching him the entire time.

Real improvement in her clears

In three short days her outlet passes after a save got so much sharper. The coaches focused on technique rather than just running reps that reinforce bad habits.

Wish it was longer

Excellent coaching, no complaints there. I wish they'd run longer camps, my son wanted more time in net.

Finally a camp just for goalies

At regular camps my daughter gets stuck in the net with no goalie coaching. Here it was all goalie, with coaches who knew what they were talking about.

Great for a new goalie

My son just started playing goalie and I worried he'd be behind. They grouped by age and level so he learned the basics with kids at his stage.

Pushed my rep goalie

My daughter plays club and I feared she'd be bored. The coaches challenged her positioning and angles harder than her own team does.

Had to dial back the shots

Getting shot on that much is intense, so we asked them to ease off on volume for him the last session since he had a club game that weekend. They adjusted without any issue.

Fair with the refund

My daughter could only make two of the three days and they sorted a prorated price with one email, no hassle at all.

The Q and A made her week

My daughter got to ask a college goalie questions and even got advice on her stance. She talked about it for days.

Group discount was easy

Registered my daughter with three of her teammates and got the group discount with a quick email. Made a big difference on the cost.

Positioning finally clicked

The thing my son needed most was angles and positioning, and that's exactly what they drilled. Small details he never got from his club coach.

Perfect weekend for goalies

Love that it's a focused few days, not a whole week to plan around. Great value and my daughter got so much out of it.

Her stick skills jumped

Her dribbling and first touch got noticeably cleaner in just three days. The coaches corrected her grip instead of just running drills with bad habits.

Constant reps, not standing around

Small groups allowed her to touch the ball constantly instead of waiting in a long line for her turn. Big difference from camps we've done before.

She learned to hit properly

Her hit was always weaker and by day two the coach had her striking the ball with way more power. Noticeable difference at her next club practice.

Felt safe

She took a stick to the shin during a drill and staff had it checked and iced within minutes. Clearly watching closely the whole time and even gave a refund for the next day that she wasn't able to train in

Had to dial back the intensity

Really intense training, which is what we wanted, but we asked them to lighten her reps on the last day so she wasn't too sore for her club game that weekend. Just something to plan around if you've got a game right after.

Great for a beginner

She'd barely touched a hockey stick before and I worried she'd be totally lost. They grouped by level so she wasn't overwhelmed at all.

Pushed my club player

She plays club and I figured she'd coast through this. They pushed her harder than her own team does, she came home sore and thrilled.

Really organized

Clear emails ahead of time about what to bring and when to arrive. Drop off and pick up ran on schedule every day.

Refund handled fast

She could only make two of the three days and they refunded the difference with one email, no runaround at all.

Bring shin guards

Great coaching overall, just wish the welcome email had reminded us shin guards were required, we had to scramble the morning of.

The Q and A meant a lot

She got to ask a national team player about her path and it really stuck with her. Talked about it the whole car ride home.

Honest about the recruiting stuff

Appreciated that the coach didn't oversell the college pathway. Just honest talk about what it actually takes to get recruited.

My shy girl opened up

She's quiet and I worried she'd stick to herself. She came home with new friends and way more confidence on the field.

Fun without the pressure

Competitive but genuinely relaxed, nobody got yelled at for a missed tackle. She usually gives up on things fast but wanted to go every day.

Personal coaching, not generic drills

Small group meant the coach actually knew her position and what to fix by day one instead of generic drills for everyone.

Staff I trusted

Asked a lot of questions about supervision before booking and got clear answers. Staff were clearly paying attention the whole time.

She finally gets penalty corners

Penalty corners always confused her and by the end of camp she actually understood the setup. Her club coach noticed right away.

Loved the photos

Didn't expect it but they had a photographer there and sent an album after. Some great shots of her mid dodge, made her whole week. Such a great touch.

We'll be back

Great value and attentive coaching. She came home wanting more stick time, not less. Already planning to sign up for the next one.

Trained by actual pros

The coaches currently played pro. My son was starstruck and hung on to every word.

He got better fast

Huge difference in his dribbling and first touch after just a few days. They corrected his technique instead of letting them scrimmage the whole time.

Felt safe

My son took a knock and they had it checked and iced right away. Staff clearly know what they're doing and watch the kids closely. That's the main thing for me as a dad honestly.

Great for a beginner

He's newer to soccer and I worried he'd be behind, but they split them by level so he was with kids at his stage. He came out actually wanting to keep playing.

Pushed my rep kid

My son plays tier 1 and I thought he might coast but they pushed him harder than his own team. Came home exhausted and talking about it nonstop.
