(born in 2012 and 2011 )
The U12 CDC program builds on what was learned at the U10 level. Players will receive training that aligns with standards set out by Soccer Canada (Canada-Soccer-Skill-Centre-Program-Manual_EN-updated.pdf (canadasoccer.com) and Soccer Quebec (Centre de développement de club – Soccer Québec (soccerquebec.org). The goal is for the players to have fun and develop their soccer skills. A new training manual has been developed by Soccer des Collines qualified licensed technical team and its content is modeled after both Soccer Canada and Soccer Quebec recommendations. Similar to U10, the focus is on players playing with the ball as often as possible and to continue the development of their technical skills. The club’s priority is to deliver quality training to our young players that is supervised.
Coaches will be responsible for delivering the program activities as outlined in the training manual (provided), demonstrating the exercises and providing encouragement and feedback to the players. The Club will provide a “Technical Supervisor”** for each practice who will be responsible for ensuring the weekly drills have been set up correctly, that the drills are running smoothly and that coaches have the necessary support. The Technical Supervisor may also provide feedback to coaches and players.
** Technical Supervisor – This is a paid position and the individual needs to have taken or will take this summer, formal training (PNCE S3 or S7) from Soccer Outaouais or have or in the process of obtaining a License “C” and higher.

Coaches
Soccer des Collines is a volunteer-based organization. All coaches are parent volunteers, and your involvement is needed to ensure the program is a success, so please sign up.
No experience is necessary. The Club will provide training to all coaches prior to the start of the season and support you throughout the summer. Coaches will also be given a copy of the new training manual which includes a week-by-week explanation of all activities. Specific dates, times and field location for the training sessions will be provided.
Coach’s Uniform – Each coach will receive a coach’s jersey
Team Formation
U12 teams play in the Ligue Régionale de Soccer Outaouais (LRSO) and games are played throughout its territory. For the U12 age group, Soccer Outaouais requires each Club to inform them, by April 1st, how many teams will be submitted for both the regional division (competitive) and local division (recreational).
Player movement between teams – Under the new guidelines provided by Soccer Canada and Soccer Quebec, the CDC program is an open roster concept. Meaning that players may move between teams throughout the year.
** Sectors – Our Club is unique since we cover such a wide territory. The Club tries to minimize travel by using a two-sector approach: Sector 1) Cantley/Val-Des-Monts and Sector 2) Chelsea/La Pêche. Players from outside these sectors will be assigned in a manner that enables the Club to balance teams. That being said, the Club may need to combine players from both sectors when forming the regional and/or local team(s) should there be insufficient players registered to make a complete team. Note: If a team includes players from both sectors, the home sector for practice will be where the majority of players reside.
Practice schedule
Practices will be held in the sector to which the team has been assigned as mentioned above. However, if the Club is unable to recruit enough coaches or Responsible de plateau, the Club will have to consider amalgamating players from both sectors and alternate practice locations between Cantley and Chelsea. This would need to be done to ensure the players receive the proper training and the coaches are supported. The quality of training the players receive is our priority.
For full details regarding the U12 practice schedule, please visit the Schedules section of the club website.
Uniform and Equipment
Soccer des Collines will provide each player with a full uniform kit, which includes a jersey, shorts and socks. Parents are responsible for the purchase of shin guards and soccer cleats. Additional club gear can be purchased from the SAVI boutique
Players should bring their own soccer ball (size 4) to each practice. We suggest you put your child’s initials on the ball, so it is identifiable.
