U8-U13 Fall/Winter League – DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (INVITE ONLY)

The U8-U13  program is part of the Fall/Winter League  – Development Program.  This program is by INVITE only.   You can not register for this program unless you have been your child has been selected to play in the Development Program.

Our under 8 to under 13 development groups falls under our foundation phase in our player development model. Our Development programs have two training sessions per week led by their volunteer coach, one Technical/SAQ session which is staff led and a game on the weekend. Goalkeeper Academy is also included in this program for those aspiring goalkeepers. This equates to up to 4.5 hours per week. The focus within the club program is to ensure our players have fun in a safe environment. We focus on the holistic development of our players through the 4 corners of development which are Technical, Tactical, Psychological/Psychosocial and Physical. On the technical front we are looking at dribbling skills, 1v1 attacking and defending, passing and receiving, striking the ball, and 1v1 skills/moves, defending 1v1 and defending in small groups. In terms of tactics we want our players to play out from the back (using positional play) and all of our teams should strive to play with the same philosophy. 

Players are required to have shin pads and cleats for all training sessions and games.

Players must not use equipment or wear anything that is dangerous on game days.  All items of jewellery (necklace, rings, bracelets, earrings, leather bands, rubber bands, etc) are forbidden and must be removed.  Using tape to cover jewellery is not permitted.  Jewellery Policy can be found HERE.

Our teams are coached by volunteers, mainly parents, and each team requires at least two parent coaches to ensure a great experience for our players.  Volunteer coaches will receive a 20% discount on their child’s registration fee (max 2 coaches per team).   

To support our volunteer coaches, our Technical Director provides a weekly coaching curriculum complemented by technical oversight from our staff coaches on the field during training sessions.  The level of oversight is tailored to each coach’s experience – those with more experience may require less on-field guidance, while newer coaches may receive additional support to help them succeed.
