Jarvis SC Academy's Youth Development Program (YDP) is dedicated to delivering a comprehensive soccer training experience, prioritizing the refinement of technical skills, a tactical understanding of the game, and holistic player development. Our team of experienced and licensed coaches, accredited by the Canadian Soccer Association and boasting playing experience, provides guidance and instruction in a positive and supportive environment.

Tailored for players aged U13 (born in 2011) to U18 (born in 2006), our YDP offers advanced training sessions designed to elevate players' technical prowess under heightened pressure, foster quick decision-making skills, and deepen their understanding of both offensive and defensive aspects of the game. Our age-specific curriculum is meticulously crafted to address the unique needs of players at different stages of development, ensuring a continuous progression of skills against similarly skilled opponents.

The program seamlessly integrates individual skill training with team-based activities, placing a strong emphasis on the significance of teamwork and collaboration. Participants engage in regular practice sessions three times a week and have opportunities to showcase their skills in competitive games against other clubs, not only within the York region but also in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), depending on the league in Ontario.

Jarvis SC maintains a strong partnership with the York Region to provide modern and well-maintained facilities, creating an optimal environment for skill development and player growth.

Program Structure

As an annual program with an increased focus on individual ball time, YDP at Jarvis SC demands a higher level of commitment. Players will practice three times per week, with a weekend game (age-dependent). The top team in each age group may undergo additional training to advance to higher levels of competition, subject to parental agreement. The coaching staff will select various tournaments and showcases to attend, which may be in Ontario, the USA, or overseas. Detailed age-specific program outlines explaining the benefits and components for each group can be found in the links below.
