PROGRAMS
The Learn-to-Play program is designed to teach soccer fundamentals to all children in a fun environment.
Overview (U5-U7)
The club's dedication to developing soccer talent begins at U5, U6 and U7 with the Learn To Play (Micro) program that is designed to give all players a foundation in the ball mastery skills necessary to succeed in soccer.
Technical Direction
The Technical Directors support given to the U5-7 House League program provides specific guidelines for on-going development support to all players and coaches at the club. Extra development sessions for these age groups are provided prior to all our saturday games.
The competitive Minis Program runs from U8 to U10. Teams play 7 a side soccer on modified size soccer pitches.
Midway through the U8 House League season teams may interlock with other Burnaby Soccer Clubs for fun games in place of their regular Saturday morning match. The "interlocking” system will be assessed annually if enough teams have the desire to engage in this type of play.
If there is enough interest from players and parents, the club will also consider running Development teams. The Development program is extra to our regular House League program and such follows a more competitive training path. This program is open to all WBN FC house league players wishing to tryout. Selected players continue to play in House League and attend extra Development team practices thru the Fall, Spring and Summer to compete in Leagues or Tournaments.
