Let the kids play, have fun, and learn!
Our Pre-Academy (co-ed) development program is based on the Canadian Soccer Association Long-Term Player Development Pathway. Our focus is on fun games, physical literacy, and soccer skill development by playing a variety of games with and without the ball. Our philosophy is to develop a passion for the game of soccer and a love for the ball. Players have the opportunity to experience a team environment and build social skills by interacting with new players.
Each session of the pre-academy is based on four pillars of player development :
Psychological, Technical/tactical, Physical and Social/Emotional
The sessions will take place every Saturday morning at the Campus Saint Jean gymnasium (8406 Rue Marie-Anne Gaboury) from January 7 to April 8, 2023 (except February 4).
