Overview - Development
Our Developmental Programs are designed for players aged Under 7 to Under 13 who want to train and play in a fun, development-focused environment.
Programs and leagues at these ages align with Canada Soccer’s Grassroots Standards, providing players with more frequent touches on the ball and consistent training over longer periods of time. These programs build skills, confidence, and a love for the game, with opportunities for team play during the outdoor season.
Perfect for young soccer enthusiasts who want to learn, improve, and enjoy the game!
Updates for 2026
Canada Soccer has introduced new Grassroots Standards for 2026. As a result, the Newfoundland and Labrador Soccer Association (NLSA) is updating program names and competition formats to align with these national standards.
Key updates include:
- U7-U11 Jamborees will now be called Festivals
- U12/U13 Megas will be rebranded as Rising Stars Tournaments
- U12 and U13 Provincial Leagues will also see updates to competition formats and rules

Spring 2026 Intake Capacity
The table below outlines the number of teams we plan to field in each division and the maximum number of players we can accommodate. Our program capacity is based on several factors, including facility availability, volunteer support, and overall player registration numbers. If a program reaches capacity, we encourage families to join the waitlist. Should additional space become available (for example, through increased volunteer support or team expansion), we will make every effort to accommodate waitlisted players.
Please note:
- Teams must meet minimum roster sizes in order to operate
- If there is insufficient registration in a division, affected players will receive a full refund
- In the event that player interest does not align with roster requirements and not all players can be accommodated, spots will be allocated on a first come, first served basis, and remaining players will receive a full refund

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.
Spaces in the indoor program are limited based on facility availability and volunteer support. If programs reach capacity, players can join a waitlist, and we will make every effort to accommodate additional players.
Players who do not participate in the indoor phase are welcome to attend Spring Assessments, where available spaces may open depending on capacity.
Our goal is to provide opportunities for as many players as possible to participate and develop within the club.
