U8-U18 Youth Program Details

Important items of note:
Players cannot wear hats or jewelry during the game, including earrings of any kind.
We request that parents be on the opposite sideline from players during the game, to encourage players to stay with their team.
Please respect our referees and demonstrate the behaviour you would like to see from your child.  We recruit many referees each year in order to cover the nearly 1,000 games of the summer season, often youth players from the club. 
They are also learning their role, so respect their decisions (right or wrong) and avoid dissenting calls from the sidelines.
