Information for Saturday September 19 – U5-U10 In-House Development 2026/2027

Posted on by

Thanks to everyone who came out earlier this week!

This Saturday will be the first Saturday session for our U5-U10 In-House Development program.

NOTE: Our U11-U16 Recreational program DOES NOT RUN ON SATURDAYS (weeknights only).

All AYSC programs take place at Aldergrove Athletic Park (AAP), behind Betty Gilbert Middle School – view Google map.

Any players who registered LATE for the U5-U10 In-House Development program are no longer waitlisted and have a confirmed spot this season.

PLEASE ENSURE YOU COME TO THE FIELD FOR THE CORRECT TIME FOR YOUR AGE GROUP. Bring water, shin guards, and either cleats or runners.

See you on the pitch!

Week One & Week Two Activities

The first few weeks of the season provides the Club an opportunity to assess players and set balanced teams and schedules. During these first few weeks, AYSC’s Club coaches will be leading station-based “skills and drills” and scrimmages with all players and volunteer coaches.

  • on arrival, all players and volunteer coaches for the age group will meet in the middle of the field to be divided into loose groupings
  • players will jump into activities (mini games / drills) led by our Club Coaches
  • volunteer coaches will meet in a quick huddle to touch base with our Age Group Coordinators / Head Coach Cam Ward / Club Coaches to go over goals for the session
  • volunteer coaches will then join the activities underway to assist Club Coaches in running the drills and keeping players on task

Players will be assigned to a team toward the end of September. Uniforms will be handed out once teams are formed.
