​​​​​​U8-U10 Fall/Winter Mini Program

Our U8-U10 program includes two streams of play. Community level training and league play for beginners and those seeking recreational soccer and the Development stream level for those wishing to continue building on previous soccer training and train more frequently with other like minded, driven and competitive players.

 

The mini program is primarily outside with indoor training sessions scheduled throughout the season to provide both the indoor and outdoor experience for all players. Team placements may fluctuate each season.

Community Division

The U8-U10 community stream program Includes one practice and one game each week. Each team is supported by parent volunteer coaches and club coaches oversee the teams in a collaborative approach for the consistent development of both players and coaches.

 

• Team training: 1 weekday practice - a mix of both indoor and outdoor practices throughout the season

• Game Day: 1 weekend (outdoor) game​​

​​

Players will be monitored of their progress throughout the season and may have the opportunity to be invited out to development program sessions.

​

The SUSC Player Academy Program (SUDA) is not included in the community stream program and is an optional academy program for community players - led by SUSC’s Technical Coaches. Registration for optional player academies is online in early August.

​

Development Program

The U8-U10 Development Division Program is a “pod” structure to align with the requirements of Canada Soccer. All development players within a given age group will train together in a group. Players at times will be mixed allowing them to play with different players and be coached by different coaches. This allows for more fluidity between teams within the club. There is an additional registration cost for this program.

​

The Development Division Program is led by professionally certified SUSC Coaches with the support of volunteer parent coaches and includes:

​

• 1 Weekly ‘pod’ practice - a mix of indoor and outdoor practices throughout the season

• 1 SUDA Academy Session (included in the program fee)

• 1 Weekend (outdoor) Game

​​

The placement of players will be determined by the on-going / year-long player assessment process implemented and led by SUSC technical staff. All players who have participated in any SUSC season play, academy or camp in the last 12 months will have been identified and assessed within the club’s player assessment database. SUSC will still endeavor to place all players at the proper level of play for them to maximize their enjoyment, improvement and confidence in the sport and their experience in our mini program.

​

SUSC is very excited about the SUSC mini program and our continued Canada Soccer National License and Skill Center implementation. We continue to solicit feedback from the past year’s participants, and with our own experiences as staff coaches/technical leads we are confident we have managed our expectations and aligned our program with the Canada Soccer Skill Centre Guidelines.
