Soccer For Life U13+
The Byron Optimist Soccer Club Recreational Program serves as a great introduction to soccer for new players or for players to continue their journey within the sport.
This program is for players born in 2011 (U13+) and above.
Our Recreational Program provides an exciting and fun experience in a low-pressure environment for kids so they can learn the game and develop a passion for soccer and athletics for many years to come. We strongly believe that youth sports play an important role in a child’s life. Children who participate in youth sports develop both physical and social skills, including self-confidence, discipline, focus, friendship, and motivation – lessons essential in the life of a student athlete. Regular physical activity during practices and games also carries a range of health benefits for young players.
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 by one team practice and one game a week. Games will be played in the Elgin Middlesex Soccer Association's Tier 3 league.
All practice sessions will be based on and follow a Professional Coach developed curriculum.
