ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Welcome to the United DFC B Level programs for U13-U15 players. These programs are an essential component of our Community pathway, where players embark on a journey of skill development and fun through participation in a local metro "house" league. Striking a balance with one team practice and one game per week, our B programs prioritize meaningful development opportunities, limiting weekend play. At this level, we strive to honor friend requests while carefully crafting teams, aiming to foster an ideal environment for both enjoyment and skill advancement. Join us in cultivating a rewarding soccer experience for our players.
PLAYER SELECTION POLICY
Upon finalizing our numbers at this level, squad balance is our priority to ensure a positive experience for all players. We strive to honour friend requests in the team balancing process as much as possible.
Please note: In instances where there is no league for a B team to participate, players will have the option to transition to an A team (and pay A fees) to ensure league participation. Alternatively, players can collaborate with UDFC staff to explore alternative program options. This situation is rare for U13 and U15B summer soccer.
