COMPETITIVE
Compete at a Higher Level with Our Competitive Program!
Ready to take your soccer skills to the next level? Players in this program will compete in the Calgary Minor Soccer League, traveling to both Okotoks and Calgary for weekly games. Each team will have one tactical training session per week, plus one to two academy sessions designed to match each player’s age and skill level.
All teams are coached by qualified members of our club's technical staff, ensuring top-tier training and support. Team placements are based on a selection process, and registration does not guarantee a spot in the program. If another program is a better fit, players may be offered a spot in our development pathway.
Since competitive play continues through July and resumes in late August, players must demonstrate a higher level of commitment to participate.
