Fall:
Dollard Soccer will be continuing to run its winter Soccer Academy, which will start in October and run
through to March. This 22 week program is geared towards developing potential Inter-city players for
the coming 2015 summer season. Selection to the Winter Academy does not guarantee a spot on an
Inter-city team.
Winter:
The indoor recreational league is a program offered from January to March, for 10 weeks. The onehour sessions will include some skill development before every league game. The league games are for
players born from 1997 to 2007. These sessions are under the excellent tutelage of our technical
department. Recreational league coaches will be asked to coach a team.
Summer:
There is a choice of two leagues through the summer months; the Inter-city league and the Inter-park
league (also known as House League). The Inter-park league is recreational. The time commitment is
two weekday evenings. The Inter-city league is for more competitive players. Inter-city begins with
open tryouts in the Fall, Winter, and invitational spring tryouts. The time commitment in the summer
months is two to three times per week (maybe games on the weekends at U12-U18) and possibly a
tournament(s) (tournaments are selected by individual teams after coach/parent meeting and are not
mandatory). We are working towards establishing AAA soccer teams starting at U14 to U18 which will
play in the Elite league throughout Quebec.
Summer Camp: We have a summer camp from June to August for boys and girls 6 - 16 years old from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
and day care from 7:45-9 a.m. and 4–5:15 p.m. with extended daycare available if needed. The camp
is based at DDO 1 & 2 soccer fields across the street from the Dollard Civic Centre. The camp also offers
supervise swimming at the DDO Civic Centre after lunch from 1:15-2:15 p.m.
