Competitive Teams:

This program is designed to develop players who are ready to demonstrate a higher level of potential. It focuses on advancing fundamental competitive and technical aspects of the game while fostering a self-reflective mindset and good sportsmanship.

Our progressive exercises are slower-paced and less competitive than those in the High-Performance program. This program incorporates elements of Canada Soccer’s Stage 3 & 4: Learning to Train coaching model, adapted to each season’s team.

In our Competitive program, we emphasize equal playing time and opportunities for all players. A high level of commitment is expected for practices and participation in two tournament weekends.

High-Performance teams: 

This program is created following Canada Soccer’s Stage 4: Learning to Train coaching model and progresses into Stage 5: Soccer for Life. We focus training on the player’s abilities to be self-reflective, and we facilitate lessons and exercises about more complex movements such as using appropriate body contact in the game and playmaking. This program also includes longer gameplay with less stoppage time, requiring a dependence on team communication which improves overall soccer IQ, reflexes, and team relationships. In our High-Performance programs, we expect players to demonstrate a high level of commitment to both the sport and their team. These players prioritize their individual development as well as the success of the team. Attendance at all practices and league games in Edmonton is mandatory. High-performance teams travel to Edmonton 3 to 4 times during the outdoor season.

Registration closes on March 23rd. Players who are not registered online for assessments will not be permitted to participate.

If you are unsure about your player’s jersey, shorts, or sock size, please check the size chart by clicking this link: Size Chart. This will help ensure the right fit for your child.

The $199 (non-refundable) registration fee includes a $20 assessment fee. The remaining $179 will go towards season registration.

This non-refundable deposit will be credited towards your player’s team fees upon placement on a team. Please note that this deposit covers only a portion of the total fees.

The remaining fees will be announced upon placement. The club will send a payment link for your child’s remaining balance at the start of the season.

Assessment Dates:

High Performance: From March 25th to April 9th.

Competitive: From April 1st to April 11th.

Players who are not selected for the high-performance teams will automatically be added to the Competitive Assessment list. The office will contact these players with further details.

Players must attend all scheduled assessments to be considered for a team. Please check the assessment schedule for your designated time. If you are unable to attend, you must still register and pay the non-refundable registration fee. Additionally, please email info@swancityfc.ca to inform us of your absence. The club will then contact you to arrange an alternative assessment date.
