Guided Pick-Up
Guided Pick-Up soccer sessions emphasize the game as the best teacher. These sessions are guided by qualified soccer instructors. Players are split into different teams each session and encouraged to play soccer in a non-threatening, fun and safe environment. Qualified instructors are present to organize the game, as well as offer tips, pointers, and supervision. Players who display qualities for competitive team play are identified out of Guided Pick-Up and invited onto a Select Team. Our ultimate aim is to move away from 'pay-to-play' at the competitive select team level.
