The Byron Optimist Soccer Club Recreational Program serves as a great introduction to soccer for new players or for players to continue in soccer.

This program is for players born in 2019 (U4),  2018 (U5) and 2017 (U6).

Our Recreational Program is focused on the well-being of children by engaging them in the sport while teaching them basic movement skills and physical literacy. At this introductory level, the objective is to get moving, learn your body and learn basic skills, all while having FUN!

We align our Recreational program with Ontario Soccer’s Long-Term Player Development (LTPD) program. LTPD is about putting the player first and offering age-appropriate opportunities for kids to enjoy the game of soccer.

The program will be composed of one session a week and will take place on Saturday mornings at Byron Optimist Soccer Club Sports Complex.

All sessions will be based on and follow a professionally developed curriculum developed by our Vancouver Whitecaps Technical Team.

Byron Soccer Staff Members will be leading the sessions and will be overseen by a member of our Technical team.
