Youth All-Stars Program
Our Program Details
Under 12 & 13
This is a new age group and division. At this age, players are learning to play and enjoy the game at a higher, more competitive level while still focusing on skill development and team building. The program consists of a modified game, played on a smaller field with a smaller roster but with more aspects of the full-field game than in younger divisions. Players are encouraged to begin to develop their skills within their preferred positions. Games at this level are competitive, and standings are kept throughout the season until the final playoffs, in which medals are awarded. These age groups can have teams in the U12 Lighthouse League and/or Compass League and U13 Lighthouse League, Compass League or Metro Tier 1 League.
Under 15 & 17
At this age, the goal is to promote high-quality, competitive soccer. Players are now competing for playing time, while coaches are mindful of and will abide by the CSA Fair Play Codes. Sportsmanship and teamwork are integral components of the program, and the highest-quality instruction and competition are essential. Games at this level are competitive, and standings are kept throughout the season until the final playoffs, in which the best team is crowned the champion. These age groups can have teams in the Premier League and the Championship League, depending on the interest and skill level shown by players at our Fall Tryouts.
This program is a year-round commitment that begins in November, with the off-season running until May and the season running from May to August.
See below a pyramid that illustrates the levels of soccer in Newfoundland:
The NL Premier League and Lighthouse League are where the highest-level teams represent their clubs in the top league for all age groups.
The NL Championship and Compass League are also competitive leagues with teams that focus on preparing players who might not be quite ready for the Premier and Lighthouse Leagues but have shown decent strength, speed, and/or fitness qualities.
