Developmental

Our Developmental Programs are for players aged Under 7 up to Under 13 that wish to train and play in a fun development focused environment. Programs and leagues at these ages align with the Canada Soccer Grass Roots standards and offer more frequent contacts over longer periods of time culminating in team play during the outdoor season.! Great for little soccer enthusiasts! 

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. Here is a link to a Q & A to help you understand the changes! If you have read the Q&A and still  have questions they can be directed to info@pysa.ca. During busy Fall and spring periods please allow for up to one week for us to respond.

2025-26 Developmental Teams Program Offerings / Registration Information

Our Developmental Teams program will run from January to August, for players looking to play Metro League and Provincial Youth Leagues.

Spaces are limited for the indoor program. Indoor program caps are limited by our capacity based chiefly on facility availability and volunteer support. If caps are reached subsequent players can sign up on our waitlist and we will make every effort to accommodate all interested players. We welcome seasonal players to come out to our Spring Assessments. Available spaces in Spring will be determined based on our capacity (such as volunteer base) and at that point wherever possible we will expand the number of teams to meet the number of players interested! Our goal is to involve as many players as possible.
