This program is focused on giving the maximum playing time in a fun and friendly environment. Teams can change every week to ensure a great experience for all. Note: to maximize touches, active game play and engagement for all players, the format may shift to 3v3 for a given session depending on the attendance.

Schedule: Saturday mornings at 8 am or 9 am

Format: 4v4 or 3v3 game play - festival and/or mini-tournament style. The format may change from 2v2 to 6v6 from week to week depending on the attendance to ensure a positive experience for all.

Mini-games are overseen by our most talented senior youth players, who are beginning their coaching journey at the club. Game leaders are not actively coaching, but rather make sure rules are followed, game is flowing and teams are balanced and that players are receiving positive encouragement.

The game leaders are trained through Canada Soccer, and guided/supervised by our academy staff coaches. If you are interested in helping as a coach, click here to visit our Careers and Coaching page.
