Our player pathway combines Soccer Canada's Grassroots Standards and Long-Term Player Development model, ensuring a balanced, progressive approach to skill growth and athletic success.
Canada Soccer’s Grassroots Standards set clear guidelines for developing young players, ensuring they have an age-appropriate and enjoyable experience.
These standards cover essential details such as the recommended field size, match duration, player to coach ratio, and equipment like ball and goal sizes, tailored for each stage of player development.
By following these standards, we ensure our programs are aligned with best practices, promoting skill development, teamwork, and a love for the game.
The Long-Term Player Development (LTPD) pathway outlines a structured approach to building skills and confidence in young athletes, guiding them through age-appropriate training at each stage.
Key highlights include smaller field and ball sizes for younger players, optimal match durations, and a balanced player-to-coach ratio, customized for each developmental phase.
By following the LTPD pathway, our programs offer a progression that fosters skill-building, enjoyment, and a foundation for lifelong participation in the sport.
