YOUTH
Youth - (U-13, U-15, U-19) This program will consist of three sessions and only involves games (no training). The first session will take place in November and December. The second will run in January and February. The third session is the “spring league” which runs through March and April and is open to both community and performance stream players. Which age levels are actually offered and what days they will occur on is determined by registration numbers leading into the program.
General rule of thumb is that there needs to be a minimum of 18 players interested for an age level to occur. From 18-30, the program will be run as a drop in where the players present are divided into two teams and play a game (with coaches and a referee). Over 30 players, a “league” with defined teams will be formed. Age levels may be adjusted to make things work (ie U-14 instead of U-13)
----------------------------------------
Session 2 Info -
Session 2 for youth players will be an 8 week program beginning the weekend of January 2-3 and ending February 20-21.
Plans at this point are to have the following divisions:
- U-14 Girls (2012/13/14) playing Fridays at 5pm
- U-14 Boys (2012/13/14) playing Fridays at 6pm
- U-18 Girls (2008/09/10/11) playing Saturdays at 4pm
- U-18 Boys (2008/09/10/11) playing Saturdays at 5
Please note that actual registration numbers could cause adjustments to the above.
Cost for the 8 week program will be $100. Fees can be e-transferred to smcn1414@gmail.com. Usual security question is Sport? with the answer being soccer. Players who still owe from previous programs will have to clear that up before being allowed to participate in this session.

Session 1 Info - This will be a six week session beginning November 14 and ending December 21. It is for birth years 2007-2014 although numbers registered on November 5 will determine exactly which age levels will be offered.
Days used will be Fridays (5-7) and late afternoon/early evening slots on Saturdays and/or Sundays.
Cost will be approximately $80. Payment will not be requested until the actual age groupings and game days are determined as some age levels may not be a go and designated game days may not work for some.
