The U16 skills program is focused on fun, team play dynamics, and building upon individual skills.
Led by experienced instructors, players will develop a further appreciation for spirit of the game, develop team work skills and continue to develop their ultimate skills at an intermediate level.
This is a great opportunity for ages 13-15 to experience a variety of drills, activities and participate in scrimmages which combines everything they learn during this weekly program.

How to register
All players should be age 13 to 15 (as of December 31 this year). However, we will consider younger kids joining on a case-by-case basis.
This is not a team based program. We divide players up based upon skill level. However, everyone will have a chance to play with each other as we move through the various skills and games.
Complete these steps to register:
- All registration is done online, and payment can be done online with a major credit card, or you can give us a cheque/cash the first time you attend the program.
- Before the first game, all players must create an account on this website, and agree to the Statement of Consent.
- On an annual basis, all players must provide Parental Consent. This is now done online. When a player registers, they are asked for their parent or guardian's contact information. Emails are then sent to the player and parent/guardian with instructions on how to provide consent.
