Prospects and Skill Centre U8 - U12
Please refer to the "Registration" tab for specific program and registration information for the current season.
Central FC offers our Prospects/Skill Centre program at the U8, U9, U10, U11 and U12 levels.This offers the best experience possible for stages 2 to 4 of the Canadian Soccer Association’s Long Term Player Development pathway for all players at each level and has been the goal of all clubs in our province. Our technical trainers and coaching staff will be working towards one goal and that is to provide a challenging but fun growth experience for all players. At the core of this training will be reinforcement of stage 3 of player development which is the Learning to Train stage. Below is an explanation of how the program was rolled out during Summer 2017.
The pool of Prospects/Skill Centre U10, U11, U12 players allows us to run the type of sustainable and successful program we wish to offer our membership.
