    General Info

    Considered an integral part of the Canada Soccer Player Pathway, the High Performance Program is the highest level of competition amongst youth clubs in our province. It provides players the opportunity to work in a year-long program. This program trains 2-3 times per week and is supplemented with a sport science program, and in season it has weekly competition. Curriculum in this program focuses on the bigger picture, helping players understand the game in three moments - with the ball, without the ball, and the moments in between. Player evaluations are supervised by club technical staff and teams are chosen for a year-long season.  This program is open to the following age groups:

    U15AAA: players born in 2009/2010

    U17AAA: players born in 2007/2008
