DEVELOPMENT | U11/12
Considered the “golden age of learning,” this is an age when players continue to embrace the “team concept” and the rewards it can bring. They are at an age where they are more able to reflect on their actions and learn from mistakes. Players will continue to develop the technical side of the game, but with the addition of more emphasis on competency with and without the ball as a team and as individuals. Players are selected to the Development level via an evaluation process in the spring. Our U11/12 Development teams will train twice weekly through the fall & winter season with weekend games from early September through to early March. Focus continues to be player centered as they progress through these key learning years in a challenging and competitive environment. All coaches at this level of play are BCSA Certified.
SEABIRD ISLAND COMMUNITY SOCCER PROGRAMMING | U5-U16
This past spring our club partnered with Seabird Island Band Community School to launch a soccer program that tied into their elementary school curriculum and also an after school program that provided access to soccer specific training for older indigenous children up to the age of 15. The overall goal was to provide easy access to more structured soccer programming for indigenous children without having to leave their community. Our staff coaches adopt a culturally sensitive approach to the weekly practices in the indigenous communities with the goal of building a long term love for the game within the youth. Their ability to connect with and engage the children throughout the program has established strong ties between our club and the Seabird Island community and we look forward to continuing to nurture our partnership going forward. We are excited to progress with our first fall program within the community starting in September.
