Developmental
Our Developmental Programs are for players aged Under 7 up to Under 11 that wish to train and play in a fun development focused environment. Players are assigned to a "Paradise Explosion" Representative Team and will train weekly and play in the Metro League during the summer against other associations. There are two entry points for this program, the first in the fall and a second in the Spring. Only those players that intend to participate in the indoor program should attend fall assessments. Please note that, where possible, all interested players will be accepted in the Fall for full program November to August. There will be open registration for a Spring Assessment for players interested in joining at that point in time for the outdoor season. At that time PSC will assess the number of coaches after the Spring coaching application window; as well as considering availability of suitable facilities; and the maximum roster sizes in order to determine how many spring assessment players can be integrated in with the existing pool of players already registered since Fall.

Additional Program Details
EVERYONE IS WELCOME to participate in our Explosion Development Programs. Places are filled on a first come first served basis. Registrants will have the opportunity to play/train year round and participate in outdoor festivals. At Under 10 where league tiering begins players will be assessed in the fall and continually throughout the program and in the spring those that are ready may be assigned to "Select" Groups that will prepare to play in the higher tiers. Subject to facility and coaching capacity our goal is to accommodate everyone interested in our Development Programs. Places are limited in the indoor season and returning players will be prioritized over newcomers. We welcome seasonal players to come out to our Spring Assessments and at that point wherever possible we will expand the number of teams to meet the number of players interested!
