Field Layout and Parking

Due to the growth of our club in recent years and the associated volume of traffic we ask for you to follow the parking guidelines:

• No parking in the Upper Paved Parking Lot by the hut, unless for mobility issues/Accessible parking. Please contact reccoordinator@pysa.ca for arrangements.

"TOTS" Program Description

for U3/U4 Combined Session Length (30-35 minutes)

Please note TOTS is a Parent & Child Program - We have morning and evening options to fit your schedule. As the children are at the introductory level parents are integrated to participate in an interactive way to help their children to understand the simple activities and offering a guiding hand to encourage their participation. Each session will include three or four Fun Activities which will be led by our trained instructors.

What to Bring - Tots do not require any soccer specific footwear or shinpads. You will be provided with a Jersey and shorts and socks. We request that players wear their Jersey (underlayers may be necessary for outdoor programs). Players should have water available for regular water breaks throughout the session.

"FUNdamentals" Program Description

for U5/U6/U7/U8 Session Length (45 minutes) 

Fun Activities & Small Sided Games supervised by Game Leaders. Our goal with our "Move Touch Play" philosophy is that every child is active for the entire time, enhancing their overall experience. This is beneficial for skill development as well as physical health.
For Small Sided Games we employ a flexible approach to creating teams to limit the need for players sitting on the bench. Players will be assigned a team colour but when they play their SSG's they will be on a team with different players from one session to the next. Due to this flexible approach to games team requests are not considered for these age groups. All players within an age group will be located at the same field so carpooling will not be a problem regardless of team assignments. In exceptional circumstances we may consider a team request, contact kbutton@pysa.ca.
This program is based on the CSA LTPD Model Fundamentals stage for players aged 5-8 years old. Players will be divided into small groups and work with an instructor who will lead then though Fun Activity Games and then progress into dividing the players into teams to play small sided games or scrimmages which are overseen by Game Leaders (could be an instructor or volunteer parent).

What to Bring - Players should wear shin pads. Soccer Cleats are recommended for outdoors as fields can be slippery when wet.. You will be provided with a Jersey and shorts and socks. We request that players wear their Jersey (under layers may be necessary for outdoor programs). Players should have water available for regular water breaks throughout the session.
