Girls teams play on Sundays. U11 and U12 Div 1 and Div 2 teams plus all U13 and older teams play in the BC Coastal Soccer League. Schedules can be accessed on the Club home page under "schedules/fields". Schedules are posted in late August or early September. U11 and U12 The U11 and U12 age groups play 8v8 which means more touches on the ball, more skill development and less specialization. U11 and U12 players play on half-sized fields. In 8v8 soccer, all players touch the ball much more and basic skills are developed. At both U11 and U12 coaches are expected to organize their teams in ways that foster player development rather than simply "to win the game".
GU11 Division 1 teams At U11 the Club forms one Division 1 team. The team is formed from a year long scouting process and with the U10 team coaches input. Girls wishing to be considered for a U11 Division 1 or 2 Team should: 1. Be registered by April 30 2. Be prepared to travel for games throughout the Lower Mainland 3. Attend the Club's "Plus" program on Wednesdays (recommended but not mandatory) to train with the Professional Staff as well as practicing once per week with their team coach.
It should be noted that players not chosen, or not choosing to play on the Division 1 or 2 teams will still be eligible and considered for placement at Division 1 or 2 at the U12 age level. We are fully aware that players develop at different ages and at different rates. All girls not chosen for the Division 1 or 2 teams or not willing to play on those teams will be placed on Division 3 teams GU12 Girls in this age group will continue to play a Super 8 Format (8v8). Teams will be formed from the scouting process. All teams will play in the BC Coastal Soccer League. The long term player development goal at this age group is developing soccer skills and speed of play. All GU12 Div 1 and Div 2 level players will be expected to attend the Wednesday PLUS program to train with the Professional staff.
GU13 - This division plays 9 v 9 with Super 8 sized goals in preparation for playing the full field at U14 and 11 v11.
GU14-BU18 The girls will play 11-a-side all the way to Under 18. The long term player development training at U14 leans towards position specific training and continues into U15 and beyond with the addition of refining skills and specific physical and mental training.
