Pre-BCSPL Training Program
PRE-BCSPL Development & Game Academy
This program will be a combination of academy sessions and games played against other BCSPL clubs in the Lower Mainland. This program will begin aligning closer to BCSPL duration demands in sessions and games. Run by our Director of High Performance, the session will be broken down into 2 portions: technical-focused and small-sided conditioned games. These sessions will have high player expectations and standards, with a high-intensity environment consisting of challenging soccer IQ and significant ball-contact time.
In games, players will be mixed with other players within their age group to play against other clubs in a game-like setting. Throughout these games, players will be coached to understand the tactical knowledge at a high level and formational play in different formations.

Below are some additional resources for your reference.
The BC Soccer Premier League was created in partnership with Canada Soccer, the Vancouver Whitecaps FC, the BCSPL Founding Club Franchises, and the BC Soccer membership. The purpose of the program is to provide top players with a high standard environment that supports the development for Under 14 through Under 17 male and female programming. The BCSPL has a spring/summer season that starts late in February ending in the Provincial Premier Cup which takes place in late June. There is also a fall season that runs from September - November and is a round-robin League Cup competition. The BCSPL has numerous clubs involved which develop their teams and compete against each other all with the focus on high quality player, coach, and referee performance.
NSGSC and NVFC have partnered to create a North Shore-Based BCSPL program which started in the 2021-2022 season. Starting with the 2023/24 season, the program will be catered towards the top players in U14-U17 to provide the opportunity to play at the highest levels in BC. Training sessions will run midweek with games taking place on weekends, and an opportunity for showcase tournaments. The BCSPL is an invite only team. Players invited to the program will experience an enhanced, intense, high-performance environment where players are challenged to perform and think at a faster pace to showcase their development.
