FALL/WINTER 2025 PROGRAM CDC U8 POLE EXCELLENCE BOYS
The U8 POLE OF EXCELLENCE Fall/Winter program is designed to provide a structured and rewarding learning experience for young soccer players.
The POLE of EXCELLENCE focuses on the continuous discovery of soccer. Youth will continue to explore the sport while strengthening their motor skills and honing their technical skills.
The program includes two activities per week: a CDC training session (in the form of workshops) and a CDSO U9M league match on Sunday mornings at the Foundry.
The main goal is to create a positive and structured environment where young people can develop in a competitive environment, with an emphasis on cooperation and social interactions. This program supports the continuous improvement of technical and tactical skills, while maintaining a fun and challenging approach for all.
