The Principles that Guides Us

Our Club Pathway

All of our programs consider the non-linear nature of how human beings grow and develop. We focus on finding the right environment for each player whilst keeping opportunities fluid amongst all programs.

"A" Competitive Community Programs

U12 A - U18 A

(2013-2007)

The "A" programs fall under the Soccer for Life stage of the Long Term Player Development program outlined by Canada Soccer. They will play in a league format and team sizes will not exceed 18-22 players. The boys and Girls program will be separate. Players will generally receive a minimum of 2 team practices a week, plus 12-14 games during the season, with the potential to qualify for Playoffs and Provincials.
