The Timbits U7–U8 program is now integrated into the PÔLE EXCELLENCE (CDC 3). It is designed to provide young soccer players with a structured and enriching learning experience and will include two training sessions and one match per week, for a total of three weekly activities.
In alignment with the guidelines of Soccer Canada and Soccer Québec, it aims to meet the specific needs of each participant while fostering their overall development through tailored activities.
The PÔLE EXCELLENCE (CDC 3) specifically focuses on the ongoing discovery of soccer. Players will continue to explore and have fun while strengthening their motor skills and refining their technical abilities. The primary objective is to create an environment where young players can develop within a positive and structured framework, emphasizing social interactions and team cooperation. This program supports the continuous improvement of technical and tactical skills while maintaining a playful and engaging approach for everyone.
