Here’s a quick guide:
- Grassroots / Mini Soccer (U3–U8): Fun, low-pressure introduction to soccer. No scores or standings — just skill-building and enjoyment.
- Recreational (U10+): Weekly practices and games as part of the Valley United Soccer League (VUSL). Great for players who want a regular season experience.
- Intermediate (U8+): An optional extra layer of development for recreational players who want additional practices and out-of-town festivals.
- Competitive (U8–U18): Year-round commitment with tryouts, structured training, and league play in the Eastern Ontario Soccer League. For players looking for a higher level of challenge.
