Introduction to Soccer (U3)
Our U3 program is a fun, playful way for toddlers to take their first steps into soccer! We focus on movement, coordination, and simple skills while building confidence and friendships- all in a safe, positive environment. Sessions are curated by BSC technical staff. This is a parent and tot program.
Kick Start (U4 - U6)
Our Kick Start program is designed for young players taking their first real steps in soccer. At this stage, kids are introduced to the ball through fun, age-appropriate games and activities that encourage creativity, confidence, and a love for the game- all while keeping the focus on enjoyment and play. Sessions are curated by BSC technical staff.
Fundamentals (U7 - U9)
At this stage, individual player development takes center stage with a focus on freedom and fun. Players are introduced to the “3 Cs” — Communication, Cooperation, and Coordination- while building confidence through age-appropriate activities. Using Ontario Soccer’s Five Pillar Model, we emphasize technical skills, 1v1 and 2v2 attacking/defending, and guided discovery to empower players and nurture creativity on the field. Sessions are curated by BSC technical staff.
Learning to Play (U10-U13)
Known as the “Golden Age of Learning,” this stage is all about skill development and creativity. Players begin to look up to role models and want to learn imaginative techniques, making skill demonstration and active participation essential. At this age, children transition from being self-focused to self-critical, showing high energy and enthusiasm during training. Our program emphasizes learning through doing, fostering confidence, technical ability, and a love for the game. Sessions are curated by BSC technical staff.
Soccer for Life (U14+)
This stage focuses on keeping players engaged through a fun, challenging, and rewarding environment. Whether recreational or competitive, players benefit from stimulating practices and exciting games that promote fitness, teamwork, and personal growth. Our goal is to help athletes stay active, develop lifelong skills, and enjoy soccer as a sport for health and enjoyment.
