Halifax Dunbrack Soccer Club

Community Program

General Info

Our U12-U18 Community Program is aimed at players with less experience in the game who still want a quality sport experience. These groups train 1-2 sessions per week and have weekly games.  Curriculum in this program aims at helping players improve with the ball while under pressure. We host a player placement session supervised by club technical staff to ensure every participant is properly assessed and hopefully placed in a program suitable for their ability. We endeavor with our resources to accept all interested players.

This program is open to the following age groups:

U12B/U12C: players born in 2012

U13A/U13B: players born in 2011

U15A/U15B: players born in 2009/2010

U17A: players born in 2007/2008

U18A/U18B: players born in 2006/2007/2008
