Halifax Dunbrack Soccer Club

Development Program

General Info

Our Development Program ensures players are organized in age-and-stage appropriate groups, giving them an improved opportunity to grow in their love of the game. Curriculum at this age group continues to help players individually improve with the ball while also developing their understanding of how the game functions with and without the ball. Player assessments take place and players are placed according to their ability and experience levels. Training takes place twice per week with weekly games occurring on the weekend.

This program is open to the following age groups:

U12A: players born in 2012

U13AA: players born in 2011

U15AA: players born in 2009/2010

U17AA: players born in 2007/2008

U18AA: players born in 2006/2007/2008
