About the Program

The United DFC AAA Programs from U15 & U17 will train and practice through the Fall and Winter months.

Player Selection Policy

As part of the High Performance stream, team selections will be made based on a set of criteria: physical, technical, tactical, mental (PTTM Model).

Known UDFC players will be assessed by coaches based on their long-term performance, commitment, etc. New players are welcome to be assessed for a given program through training. 

Once we confirm our final numbers at this level the squads will be chosen to ensure the players have a positive experience within the squad they are most aligned with.
