Players at this age are starting their soccer journey and need to develop their basic skills appropriately (including technical, physical and social skills). The weekly 1-hour session consist of various skills exercises as well as small games on a rotational basis. Players are grouped by age and gender and will get exposure to multiple coaches and facets of the game.

Sessions will start with small sided games, followed by two technical stations and will finish with another game format activity.

Sessions overseen by one of our senior staff and run by our most talented senior youth coaches. The coaches are trained through Canada Soccer, and guided/supervised by our academy staff coaches. Our leaders are the most aspiring coaches at the club, but are also the beginning of their journey. If you are interested in helping as a coach, click here to visit our Careers and Coaching page.
