YOUTH A PROGRAM - Summer 2025
COST: $500
Uniform fees will be added to the program registration cost. The uniform fee for U12-Senior players this summer will be $60 for the purchase of 2x socks and shorts (White and Blue). Jerseys will be given out for the season with a $40 jersey deposit placed per player. This will be collected by team and is refundable after return of jerseys at season completion.
About the Program
The United DFC A Programs from U13-U18 will compete in the Nova Scotia Soccer League (NSSL) outdoor league.
Given the large player base at UDFC, we are offering players an opportunity to self-identify as “high commitment” players. Players in the A program will either strive to play at a higher level (requiring a higher commitment) or play at the A level with the intention of staying at the A level.
Player Selection Policy
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 comfortable with.
Assessments will be held to formalize team selections.
Training & Games
2 sessions per week, plus 1 game
