This newsletter is to inform parents of players born in 2015 (U9-2024) will be transitioning to the Open League for the 2024 summer season. They have 'graduated' from the Grassroots programs.

What is the Open League for a U9 player?

The players will play a 7v7 game with referee once a week either in Orleans (Millennium Park). The Open U9 program consists of 12 week league during the months of May to August. No skills training will be given during these sessions. Players can participate in the Open Rec Tech program if they would like to play twice a week.

What is the Open Rec Tech program?

A weekly skills development session fun by club coaches and our top technical assistants. Basic playing concepts are introduced in this program, but the emphasis is on technical soccer skills and physical literacy (overall athleticism). Game play is included in the program, but technical work is the main focus.

Is you player interested in our Competitive and Academy programs?

Players of this age group are also invited, if they choose to, register for an evaluation. This evaluation is part of the 'skilling up' process to our competitive soccer programs. Players will be invited to join two competitive sessions during the month of February/March. A decision will be then be taken by the staff coaches of the club. Players will either receive an invitation to join our competitive or academy programs or get released to the Open League. The evaluation process is on our website.
