Development Program

Program Overview

TOP Soccer Development Programs provide an engaging and competitive soccer experience led by enthusiastic and passionate certified coaches. Programs are created with skill development in mind; providing a weekly skills session (weeknight) and a weekly festival (weekend) designed to maximize development time and ensure players can apply new skills into a game-setting. Depending on the session and age group, players are split into colour-coordinated teams based on game formats and roster sizes outlined by Ontario Soccer. One friend request per player is offered but not guaranteed. Throughout the season teams may be updated to provide appropriate competition for all players.

Sessions are designed using a Game-Activity-Game Model where players will rotate between 3–4 activities and small-sided games. Activities will primarily involve physical literacy, ball handling, and game-based activities to teach core skills like decision-making, spacing, attacking, & defending.
