Description
The U9 Soccer Program is an 8-week development program that follows Canada Soccer's Long-Term Player Development (LTPD) philosophy, focusing on the Fundamentals stage where players build a strong technical foundation while continuing to develop a love for the game. Through age-appropriate, game-based activities, players improve their dribbling, passing, receiving, shooting, and 1v1 skills while enhancing agility, balance, coordination, and speed. Small-sided games provide frequent touches on the ball and encourage decision-making, creativity, teamwork, and confidence in a fun, positive, and inclusive environment. Coaches emphasize skill development, sportsmanship, and active participation over competition, helping every player progress at their own pace while fostering a lifelong enjoyment of soccer.
