All U8-U9 Competitive trialists are expected to register for and attend all of the 4v4 champions league fall league sessions, along with the U8-U9 base fee.  By the end of the program, players will be placed either into a U8-U9 competitive team, or into the U8-U9 4v4 winter league and the U8-U9 skills center sessions.  

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