CAPERS Academy's NSSL squads return to their Pre-Season training block next week and ambitious young players on the island have the chance to play their way into contention for a slot in our FREE Open Session series.
The U13s Boys and Girls teams are open to players born in 2013 and 2014 and the teams train three times a week on field at the CBU Dome before moving outdoors in May. Pre-Season is January-April and then the Competition Phase of NSSL play runs May-August.
PLEASE NOTE: Players/Parents will be given feedback at the end of four sessions over a two-week period on areas of technical development and whether they will be offered a full-time Academy slot. Registration costs and other details would be discussed at that time. If the recommendation is that the players are better suited to remaining at Soccer Cape Breton League level they may be offered an Affiliate Player slot in May which gives them one session a week with the team and call-up rights.
If you want to register your player for a U13s Open Session simply email Lisa Lavery on admin@soccercapebreton.com stating player's name, age group you want to train with and birth year.
The schedules for both teams are shown below:
