Select Outdoor Program

Select Outdoor Program

select program Spring and summer 2026
 

The Select program offers a bridge between the Recreational Soccer Program and the Grassroots Development program. The programs is offered to male players U9 to U13 looking to continue developing their soccer skills and techniques in a more structured environment. This program consists of two weekday practice sessions and weekend festivals through the outdoor season.

Our curriculum will follow a Game-Activity-Game (GAG) or a Station Model format depending on the age and group.

Registration is by invite only.

Interested new players are encouraged to email Niall, the coordinator niall@northtorontosoccer.com. Players will be invited to attend one or two practices to determine if the program is the right fit.

Currently, priority is given to current indoor Select players and then previous Select players.

If there’s still room on the teams, interested new players will be able to try the program by attending a training session and have their skill level assessed. A member of our staff will determine suitability. The suitability of new players based on various factors, with skill level being one of the primary considerations. However, it’s important to note that coaches may also evaluate other attributes such as attitude, teamwork, physical fitness, tactical understanding, and potential for improvement when selecting new players for a select team. Ultimately, the goal is to create a well-rounded team that can perform effectively on the field.

We will not be holding tryouts or Open Development Sessions. Interested players are encourage to contact the coordinator: Niall at niall@northtorontosoccer.com.
