Development Program (U5–U7)

Our Development Program is designed for players aged U5 to U9, with age groups determined by birth year.

Program Structure

• U5 (2021): One 45-minute session per week

• U6 (2020): One 60-minute session per week

• U7 (2019): Two 60-minute sessions per week

We aim to maintain a 5:1 player-to-coach ratio to ensure individual attention and a positive learning environment.

Program Focus

The primary goal of this program is FUN. Sessions are built around age-appropriate activities that develop physical literacy—such as balance, coordination, and agility—alongside fundamental soccer skills. At younger ages, it is essential that players feel confident and comfortable with the ball while enjoying the soccer environment. Soccer serves as the vehicle through which these core movement skills are introduced and developed.

At times, and for short periods, players will take part in mini-game activities. These games are designed simply to enjoy the sport, not to introduce positions, competition, or match outcomes.

By U7, players begin to build familiarity with the game and learn basic ball control and passing skills. There is no formal league play, set game schedule, or standings at this stage. The emphasis remains on enjoyment, confidence, and physical development.

Registration

Space is limited in all spring programs and registration is offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
