Junior Blades Fall 2009 Registration
The Junior Blades program provides a structured and developmentally appropriate curriculum for youth soccer players aged 4 – 11 years. The beauty of our program is that players learn the quickest by having fun whilst playing the game. Unlike other local recreational leagues, before each season starts each Junior Blades coach is trained in all aspects of our program and given constant support throughout the season so they can put into practice the age appropriate games and exercises that will develop the players to their fullest potential.
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
- Six divisions - U5/U6/U7/U8/U10/U12
- Balanced teams
- Professional training
- Junior Blades tournament day at end of season
