BOYS U14 RANGERS (2011)
Originally referred to as Tier 2, BC Soccer, under the direction of Canada Soccer has established the Competitive pathway.
At WIA, our Competitive Pathway Program is designed to parallel BCSPL and follow the same standards of training and development as BCSPL teams. The primary focus of our program is to develop and support players wishing to pursue soccer at a post-secondary level while competing at the Provincial A-Cup level.
Players will train 3 times a week and compete in the Competitive League on Vancouver Island. The goal for the team is to qualify for the Canada Soccer National Championships at U15 and U17.
