FUNdamentals program

The FUNdamentals Program is the second progression in the TOP Soccer Player Pathway and is suitable for players who would like to further develop their skills and/or aspire to join our Academy teams in the future. Our age and stage appropriate club curriculum is designed to individually challenge each player and focuses on various aspects of sports across the four corners of Long-Term Player Development (LTPD). Through a combination of skill development activities, physical literacy, and small-sided games, we aim to help participants reach their full potential.

The program follows a Game-Activity-Game (GAG) format, allowing players to transfer skill development into a small-sided game environment. Each group, led by dedicated TOP Soccer coaches, consists of a maximum of 8 players. We prioritize consistency by ensuring that coaches remain with their respective groups, as we recognize the importance of building bonds and understanding each child's development.

FUNdamentals Program Seasons

• Spring Season (May to June)

• Summer Season (July to August)

• Fall Season (September to October)

All sessions will take place at De La Salle College School turf. Pending any field closures, other facilities may be used.

Toronto Soccer Association
TOP Soccer is an accredited member of the Toronto Soccer Association, the governing body for soccer in Toronto. All players must be registered members of the TSA to participate in this program. Annual TSA registration fees are subsidized by TOP Soccer and a portion is included in participant fees.

Academy Call-Up Opportunities
There may be the opportunity to be called up to play with the TOP Soccer Academy team in one of their events. If an Academy team is short players, they can look to FUNdamentals players at U7 or U8 ages to help fill out the roster spots which will provide players with the opportunity to participate in a festival or exhibition game.
