U8 Fall/Winter League Program (September - March): *2017 born players

This is a great program for players graduating from our U7 Initiation Program, coming from another soccer program, or brand new to the sport. Registered players will be placed on teams and will practice outdoors once during the week and then have outdoor games on weekends (boys - Saturdays, girls - Sundays). All practice days and times will be determined by the end of August. Players will have an opportunity to develop technical ability, comprehension of team play and formations, and individual agility, balance and coordination in a fun and challenging environment. Players are separated into two streams, House and Development - read below for further information. A league schedule will be created based on the number of teams but no standings will be kept. All players play equal time and try all team positions, including goalkeeping. Teams will be guided by volunteer team officials which include a head coach, assistant coach, and team manager.

U8 - U10 Two Streams

Coquitlam Metro-Ford Soccer Club provides two streams for U8 - U10 League Players: House Stream and Development Stream.

Both streams offer players the opportunity to develop technical ability, comprehension of team play and formations, and individual agility, balance and coordination in a fun and challenging environment. The goal of ability based teams is to allow all players to play at their skill and confidence level. We want all players to be challenged, to build their skills and to enjoy their playing experiences which supports Long Term Player Development. With two streams, our league teams are more balanced in overall ability which allows for a more competitive environment and offers all teams a chance for success.

House and Development teams are formed at U8 based on technical staff evaluations during the U7 Initiation Program, CMFSC Academies, and CMFSC Camps. Development rosters will have a smaller amount of players to allow for continued movement from the House stream. Technical staff will work with team officials to provide opportunities for House stream players to practice and play games with Development teams as the season allows. There is no timeline on the player development pathway. Changes to rosters may be made before, during, or after a season on player placement for all U8 - U10 age groups.

Some guiding principles:

• Year-long assessment of players by technical staff coaches, Age Group Head Coaches, and volunteer coaches.
• Upward promotion of players with limited downward demotion.
• Technical support for all coaches in the age group.
• A clear communication plan to parents and coaches not only in the beginning stages, but year-long.

Any technical questions, can be directly to:

• Alfredo Valente – CMFSC, Technical Director
• Liam Carter - CMFSC, Head Coach, Boys
• Andrea Maloney – CMFSC, Head Coach, Girls
