New Programs for 2025/26 - Developmental and Competitive Indoor Program Information

Canada Soccer has introduced new grassroots standards for 2026! In turn NLSA is rebranding U7 to U11 Jamborees to Festivals and updating league rules. U12/U13 2026 Provincial Leagues will also see a rebranding and rules updates are being updated to align. NLSA U12/U13 Megas are to be rebranded as Rising Stars Tournaments. U15 and U17 Leagues (Premier and Championship) will remain largely the same as will our programming for these groups. We encourage you to click the links above to learn about the new approaches NLSA is implementing in 2026, under the direction of Canada Soccer!

PSC is excited to be rolling out our 2025/26 Indoor Programs which will align with the new standards and at the same time reflect the needs and resources of our growing club. While this has slightly shifted our registration timeline, these changes are designed to create the best possible pathway for our young players to learn, grow, and enjoy the game!
