Who This Program Is For
This program is designed for experienced club players.
Younger players should generally be playing, or preparing to play, Metro soccer with their club team.
Older players should generally be playing in the Compass League, Lighthouse League, or a similar competitive environment.
This is not an introductory program for brand-new players. Players do not need to be the best players on their club teams, but they should be comfortable training in a faster-paced environment.
Coaching Staff
The boys program will be led by Rain City’s Manager of Player Development and former Challenge Cup All-Star, Simon Pope, along with reigning Challenge Cup League MVP Emmanuel Dolo and AUS All-Star / Memorial Sea-Hawks MVP Luke Peddle.
The girls program will be led by former Laurentian University Team MVP Mary Whiffen, assisted by Jubilee Cup All-Star and former University of Cape Breton standout Morgan Harris. Both Mary and Morgan are expected to suit up for the Memorial Sea-Hawks in the fall.
