Every person involved in soccer in Canada deserves an enjoyable experience with the game, regardless of the role they play, their age, their level of experience or their ability. For young players, an enjoyable experience means that they have access to high-quality programs where they can have fun with their friends, learn new skills and play the game in an appropriate format. Clubs play an important role in this, as they are the primary providers of the soccer programs where young players experience the game in Canada.

Our development programs provide a challenging, enjoyable environment for players to develop and nurture the skills required to succeed in the game of soccer.

1. Keep players involved in the game for longer by providing an enjoyable experience.
2. Guidelines that ensure delivery of the best possible training environment.
3. Develop players by increasing opportunity and access to better training and competition.

To ensure that a holistic development environment exists for players and coaches, our development programs will be guided by the following principles:

• High contact time with a ball
• Game-Based training
• Fun for everyone
• Accessible for all
• Meaningful feedback provided

To change the method of player development!

The traditional Canadian youth soccer model of talent identification via team selection chooses a number of players based on their current performance level at a specific moment in time.

This selection-based approach alienates a significant percentage of players and push kids away from the game, rather than giving the opportunity to all players that might have potential to develop.
