Burnaby, BC (March 20, 2024) Burnaby FC today announced details for the Spring Phase of the Development Centre program consistent with Canada Soccer’s Youth License Holder requirements. The program in its inaugural year will focus on 2010-2016 born players with an aim to expand the program year by year to eventually cover all age levels. The program, following Canada Soccer guidelines, is open to ALL players born in 2010-2016 looking for additional training outside of their team/league environment.
The Spring Phase is scheduled to start the week of April 8th and run over 8 weeks. No sessions will be held over the Victoria Day long weekend.
BFC’s Development Centre is overseen by TDs Lee Tregonning and Kevin Julian and is coordinated by Adam Hayne along with fellow Senior Staff Coaches Kat Tomic, Nico Echeverria and Kim Bull.
The Burnaby FC Nationally Licensed Player Development Centre is for all players wishing to improve their soccer skills and progress to the higher levels. Our Development Centre will consist of Nationally Certified Burnaby FC coaches, following CSA and BCSA guidelines and recommendations using current sport science-backed program design, including the LTPD (Long-Term Player Development) and Player Pathway.
Our player-centred programming emphasizes the development of each individual player, to reach their full potential in a fun and challenging environment. Players are continually assessed and provided feedback on their ongoing development, including potential BFC High- Performance placement.
The Development Centre training sessions for 2010-2016 born players will be held at Burnaby Lake West and Kensington Field 5 as well as Confederation Park.
