The U8-U10 Player Developmental League (PDP) provides exposure to a higher level of competition for those players interested. This is done via our PDP Program. These developmental programs are accessible but not mandatory and introduce competition so that families and players can identify a path that aligns with their interest and commitment levels.
During our Spring Classic Tryouts we will also be holding a U8 - U10 Observation to help identify players and families that are interested in playing in a developmental league that occurs during the Summer tournaments, followed by a fall and spring season.
Teams will be assembled by early June but not as quickly as the classic teams. A list of interested participants will be created so that the developmental coaches and CUSC staff can follow up with interested families to discuss the options available based on interest and ability.
There is no fee for U8/U9/U10 Developmental Soccer Observations. However if your child is participating in the Classic Tryout in addition to the U9/U10 Developmental Soccer Observation, there is a one-time fee of $25. You can pre-register for the Classic Tryout on the website.
