Competitive
Our Competitive Teams Programs are a continuation of our developmental programs. The focus for our competitive programs is still on development of the player within the team whilst competing in a competitive environment. At U12 players are introduced to leagues/competitions with scores and standings. In youth Competitive soccer there are NLSA Provincial Leagues that provide the highest tiers of play with teams competing provincially in either the Premier League or the Championship League. Premier League (starting at U13) is the highest tier with teams competing for the right to represent the province at Club Atlantic & National Tournaments. In addition, the Metro League which is a regional league (a continuation of the Metro League that runs from U7 to U11). Players must tryout for competitive teams and must be selected prior to registering.
