Spring Small Guided Games
Guided Games only!
Players are grouped into teams each week and play guided games across the 70 minute session. Skills are progressively introduced during games to encourage further skill development. Our staff won't over coach, or dictate every player's move. Instead, we spark creativity and decision making by incentivizing moves/skills with points.
Guided Games vs Free Play: Guided games foster development by including incentives/game rules that will result in a certain type of play/skills, instead of dictating from the sideline what decision players should make. For instance, if one-touch goals are worth 5pts, players will look to finish with one touch. Free play is games without any coach input or learning opportunity.
Ages: Players born between 2019-2014
Day and Times: Wednesdays, 5:00pm - 6:10pm
Dates: From April 9th - June 18th (11 sessions)
Location: Fen Burdett Stadium
Cost: $220
Age groups full: All sold out (waitlist only)

Financial Assistance
The Club recognizes that there are families in the community for whom the registration fees pose a genuine financial hardship. We are an inclusive club, and with the support of Jumpstart, Athletics for Kids (A4K), and the generous funding of Neptune Terminals, we have developed a program to ensure that the registration fee alone does not prevent youth from participation in our Club.
We ask that full consideration be given to whether assistance is truly needed. Overuse of this program puts these options at risk for those who really need it.
