Learn to Train Centre

Over the past six months the Victoria Highlanders FC and the Vancouver Island Wave have been looking at ways that they could bring together their coaching staffs and their resources in order to help the development of the sport on Vancouver Island.  One of the major steps in this 'Development Through Cooperation' will be rolled out this September with the emergence of the U10-U12 development program which we feel is appropriately named the L2T Centre (Learn to Train Centre).

Within the Canadian Soccer Association's Long Term Player Development Model, the stage of development within the ages of U10-U12 is referred to as the Learn to Train Stage. This new program is designed to match the needs of this stage. 

As Highlanders and Wave coaches work to produce training which maximizes this training phase we will do so in tight consultation with members of CSA's work group Richard Way and Istvan Balyi who reside in Victoria, BC.
