COMMITMENT TO LONG-TERM PLAYER DEVELOPMENT (LTPD)

In addition to our top tier adult programs, we offer a unique “Youth-to-Adult” transition program that provides youth players the opportunity to play with senior teams, a model consistent with the Canada Soccer Association’s Long Term Player Development (LTPD) model to promote adult health. We have multiple pathways ranging from gradual integration to adult soccer for young players showing the potential and the ability to do so, while still being in their youth programs to full transition to adult soccer at younger ages. Currently we have many high-performance league players getting minutes with our adult teams, while simultaneously participating in youth soccer. We are proud that the youngest player to sign a CPL contract was our product, Ahmad Alghamdi. We are never shy to integrate young players (15-18) in our top tier adult programs once they reach the level and able to safely play with adults.

While our FC Tigers Vancouver teams are very competitive, with a professional grade training environment and top class coaching to provide clear pathways to university scholarships and professional tryouts, our FC Tigers Stars teams continue to host all the players who wish to be in a safe, inclusive, and developmental environment regardless of their level. That’s why we are proud to say we are a program that fits every serious and committed player.
