Program Details:

This program is the first of its kind in Nova Scotia. It is targeted toward the top U12-U17 players/teams at Suburban FC who have aspirations of playing at a higher level such as post-secondary or professional environments.

This program provides the tools, opportunities and connections to help players reach different pathways as they develop and will help lead them to where they are best suited.

As players age through the program, they will be exposed to post-secondary and professional coaches from Canada, the United States and abroad by attending showcase events, tournaments, friendlies and combines.

Players in this program will train 3-6x weekly in all 4 pillars of the game (Technical, Tactical, Physical and Psychological).

Please note that this is an invite-only program.
