U5-U8 Soccer Ninjas (base program YDP)
Last updated: Aug 2018
At CUSC we place an enormous emphasis on teaching and inspiring our youngest players. We are not a club that hopes to "recruit" talented players for our top teams at older ages, but rather believe in a homegrown philosophy of developing top players from within our very own ranks here at the club. In recent years this philosophy has seen us build one of the most competitive programs in Ontario, which happens to be one of the most competitive provinces in the country.
The soccer ninjas program is the starting point of this development, and is open to all young players in Ottawa. Our aim is to produce exactly what the title says - Soccer Ninjas: Kids who can run jump, sprint, roll, spin with grace and precision, while also being comfortable with a ball at their feet.
Game play is included in the program of course, and basic playing concepts are introduced, but the emphasis is on phyiscal literacy (overall athleticism) individual soccer skills, and of course FUN! We want these players to learn to love the game first!
For these reasons, the program exposes players to some of our most qualified coaching staff at the club.
The program is also continually watched and scouted for potential players for the Jr. Academy and in some cases full academy programs, should players show the focus and ability to train at the next level.
This program is fun, productive, and sells out every year, so register soon!
