The newly established teams will compete in the highly regarded Ottawa Carleton Soccer League (OCSL), a premier league known for fostering high-caliber talent and competitive play. This initiative ensures that players who have aged out of youth divisions still have a pathway to showcase and hone their skills at a high level within the local soccer community.

A Commitment to Development Seaway Valley Soccer Club has long been committed to player development, and this expansion aligns with the club’s mission to support athletes at every stage of their growth. The U21 program will serve as a bridge between youth and senior soccer, providing a vital platform for players looking to further their game, whether for collegiate, semi-professional, or professional opportunities.

Ed Irvine, Player Development Lead at SVSC, expressed his enthusiasm for the new program: "This is a fantastic opportunity for our young athletes to continue their development in a competitive environment. The U21 teams will provide a crucial stepping stone for players who aspire to advance their soccer careers, and we are excited to see them thrive."

Opportunities for Local Talent By entering teams in the OCSL, SVSC aims to keep talented players engaged in the sport while representing their community. The league's competitive environment will challenge players to elevate their performance and continue refining their technical and tactical abilities.

SVSC is currently in the process of recruiting dedicated and skilled players for both squads. Registration for open tryouts is now open. Tryout dates, coaching staff announcements, and additional program details will be shared in the coming weeks. Details for tryouts are available on our website at https://www.svsc.ca/adultcompetitive. Interested players and supporters are encouraged to stay connected through the club’s official website and social media channels for updates.

The launch of the U21 men’s and women’s teams is a testament to Seaway Valley Soccer Club’s commitment to growth and excellence. With the support of players, families, and the broader soccer community, SVSC is poised to make a strong impact in the Ottawa Carleton Soccer League.
