FALL & WINTER season requirements of Inter-club and Selects players to be included:
(2015-2014) U8-U9 Inter-club: Academy Program Mondays , 1 practice and 1 game.
(2013-2011) U10-12 Div.1: Academy Program Mondays, 2 practices and 1 game.

(2010-2005) U13-18 DIV.1 & 2 Program: 2 practices and 1 game.Players should bring their own water bottle with their name or recognizable markings on it
Warm clothing in case of rain
Players DO NOT need to bring a ball
No parents are allowed on the field but can observe and encourage players from behind the fence
On the 3rd week of September, the players will begin their age specific practice program and be placed by age groupings U8/U9 and U10/U11 and then U12/U13
Practice content will be prepared in advance for all coaches to follow and is consistent with all practice content throughout the club. Some differences maybe as follows:
Grassroots coaches on field to observe
Different activities used
Less coaching interventions, no yelling/screaming at players
More challenging and competitive actions from the players as they will improve overtime.
In the event a player is proving to be more advanced than the players they are practicing with, there will be a discussion amongst the staff to move the player within the time slot first to another challenging group, and then, if need be, a discussion with the parent/guardian to move the player to another time slot. Given the double age-band, this should not be an issue as must take care of the player first and foremost.
