U11-U12

This stage of the BC Soccer Player Pathway continues with disciplined training and begins to develop players' understanding of principles of play alongside their skills practice. Repetitions are important to develop technical proficiency, but creating a fun and challenging environment is still paramount to stimulate learning and promote a love of the game. Game formats can range from 6v6 to 8v8 as players advance through this stage, and again a simple league schedule can be created, but no standings should be kept – the emphasis is still FUN.

House players will continue to play in our SCYSA House league, which runs from September, and wraps up with a House Year End Tournament on the first weekend in March.  

Players chosen for a Rep Team, based on a combination of in-season and year-end evaluation, will play in the BC Coastal Soccer League (BCCSL). The BCCSL consists of teams from Alouette, Burnaby, Fraser Valley, North Shore, Richmond, South Fraser, Tri-Cities, and Vancouver Youth Soccer Districts. Rep teams will play home games on the Sunshine Coast, and away games in the lower mainland.

Date: The program will begin in September with a Jamboree kick off on Sunday, September 11th, 2022, and wrap up with a House Year End Tournament on March 4th, 2023. There will be a winter break from mid December to the second weekend of January. 

Games: Boys play games on Saturdays and Girls play on Sundays. Games are two 2 x 30 minutes halves with a 5 minute half time break.

Practices: One session per week set by the coach.

Uniforms: New players receive a complete uniform of a home & away jersey, shorts and socks to keep and are required to wear the uniform at every game. The uniform must be returned if a player withdraws. Players will keep the kit until they outgrow it, or wish to purchase a new one. Players will be assigned numbers that they will keep each year. 

Equipment: Players require a water bottle, shin guards and cleats for outside games, and running shoes for indoor practices.

Team Placement: We will do our best to accommodate one friend request per player. Players must enter their friend request when registering, or by emailing house_director@scysa.ca prior to the registration cut-off date. We cannot guarantee any friend or team request for players registering or requesting after the cut-off date.

2022/23 Registration cut-off date: August 15th, 2022
