Soccer

The Mooredale Soccer umbrella has grown significantly in the past few years, introducing a brand new Rep Development Program (RDP) in 2013 on top of our already popular house-league and our competitive teams.  Mooredale is committed to providing a range of opportunities for all players to compete and develop their skills to their maximum potential.  From U4 to Adult, we have something for everyone here at the club.

House-League

With an emphasis on fun, skill development, and having a positive experience in the sport, our house-league is perfect for players new to the sport of soccer, or those not looking for a high level of competition.  We have both indoor and outdoor programs available.

 Our Outdoor House-League Soccer is run out of local Rosedale Park. We offer divisions from as young as U4 all the way up to U16, so we have something for everyone! The aim of the program is to provide all players with a positive experience in the sport, a chance to develop their skills, and most importantly a chance to have some fun!

Coaches

Technical Staff

Armed with a player development curriculum, and a desire to pass on their knowledge to the next generation, our technical staff members are on hand during the practices for all age groups.  They run the practices, and serve as a resource for our volunteer coaches.  Our technical staff members are former players, folks who have begun to go through the certification process to coach at the developmental or competitive level, and some who also coach in RDP.  They bring with them a wealth of experience in the sport of soccer!

Volunteer Coaches

Our volunteer coaches are a key part of our house-league soccer program, and we are always looking for more individuals to help us out.  If you’re interested in coaching in the league this year, make sure to select the option when registering, or contact us at soccer@mooredale.on.ca.

Junior Coaches

Returning again this year is our Jr. Coaches program.  Designed to get our local soccer players involved in the coaching aspect of the game, the Jr. Coaches program provides an introduction to coaching.  Aimed at those aged 14-20, the program is an opportunity to earn community hours and gain valuable experience!

If you or someone you know might be interested in becoming a Jr. Coach, be sure to contact us at soccer@mooredale.on.ca.

Rep Development Program (RDP)

Offering advanced skill development, Mooredale’s Rep Development Program is for those players in the U8 – U14 age groups wishing to play at a higher level than house-league.  The program operates year-round, with sessions in both the indoor (Oct – April) and an outdoor (May – September) seasons.  The RDP umbrella encompasses both the rep (full commitment) and select (July/August off) teams for these age groups.

The Rep Development Program (RDP) is Mooredale’s developmental soccer program.  RDP was launched in the summer of 2013, to provide a structured approach to skill development and competitive soccer here at the club.  The program was created with the standards and guidelines of the Long-Term Player Development model passed down to clubs by Sport Canada, Canada Soccer, and Ontario Soccer.

RDP has enjoyed success in the years since its inception, and has grown to include the U8 – U17 age groups, with both select (festival/tournament play only) and rep (league play and tournaments) teams for both boys and girls.

Commitment

The program is designed for those players seeking a more challenging level of play than house-league, and as such includes more training and commitment than recreational soccer.  The program runs year-round, involving both an indoor season (October – April) and an outdoor season (May – September).

RDP is a year-round program, but we understand that participating in other activities and sports is an important part of growing up.  During the indoor season, players and families can opt into a commitment level that works for them – e.g. 1 day of training per week only, or 2 days of training per week.  During the outdoor season, players commit to 2 days of training per week in addition to games (league or festival/tournament), but there is some flexibility for those players who may be away for large parts of July & August, or who know they will be missing a significant number of the practices (select program).

The outdoor season includes 2 training sessions per week and games (either league or tournament/festival).

Coaches

All our technical staff coaches have completed, at minimum, the Learn to Train or Soccer for Life coaching courses offered by Ontario Soccer, in addition Making Ethical Decisions, and Respect in Soccer.  Many of them have begun to pursue higher certifications, including the C-License offered by Ontario Soccer, USSF licenses (American), and UEFA licenses (European).  Mooredale provides our coaches with opportunities to attend clinics and conference in order to further their coaching education.

For bios on our coaching staff, please check out our Technical Staff page here.

Joining RDP

Every fall (mid-to-late September), Mooredale runs an evaluation period where all players are welcome to register and attend some sessions to see if RDP would be a good fit for them.  If your child is interesting in trying out the program, please contact the Sam Medeiros (smedeiros@mooredale.on.ca) for more details.

If your child is interested in trying out RDP, but they have missed the fall evaluation period, please contact Sam Medeiros (smedeiros@mooredale.on.ca), as we may be able to set up a trial period for them.

Questions? 

Looking for some more information of how RDP runs?  Please feel free to contact Sam Medeiros at smedeiros@mooredale.on.ca and we would be happy to chat about the program with you.

Mini Stars Active Start Program Co-Ed

Our Active Start program is designed for our youngest soccer players to develop physical literacy skills while having fun and learning about the game of soccer! They also receive what will be for many their first participation in a team sport. The sessions are facilitated by our professional technical staff specializing in early youth development with the help of our fantastic volunteer parent coaches. A typical session comprises approximately 60% physical literacy activities and 40% soccer-related games. Parental involvement is required for successful sessions, and we will ask that they participate with their children in activities. Parents may be asked to sit or stand on the sideline closest to their child’s field of play to help create field boundaries for their child’s game. In addition, grown-ups are invited onto the pitch to participate in games alongside their child to act as a guide for some activities. This is introduction program to the Junior RDP

Active Start session is approximately 50 minutes in length and consists of 25-35 minutes of activities. All our sessions place a heavy emphasis on activities that give each child as much time to work through foundational movements, both with and without a ball.

Our activities focus on three large foundational skills that are crucial to becoming a better athlete and soccer player 1. Physical Literacy; 2. Ball Mastery; 3. One vs. one (1v1) opportunity. These activities provide your child with more individualized time with the ball and more opportunities to succeed and have fun.

Our program is heavily based on recommendations from Ontario Soccer and follows the LTPD model that is designed to create age and stage appropriate games and activities where the emphasis is on FUN and enjoyment of the game. The Active Start program is designed for players to get experience in playing soccer but is fundamentally a House League program where players come to enjoy the game and learn a bit at the same time and still playing games in the House League.

All players are between u3, u4. Grown up volunteer are encouraged to help coordinate with logistics and assist our staff coaches during sessions. We truly cannot run a program like this without volunteers, so any interested applicants are GREATLY appreciated.

The Outdoor Mini Stars Program is offered to our players looking to continue playing soccer in a more structured environment. The Mini Stars Program looks to help bridge the gap between Recreational House League and introduction into the Junior RDP.
