2025-26 DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMs

Westside Youth Soccer Association has one underlying mission, and that is to be the top youth development club in the Okanagan.  We are pleased to launch revamped year-round programming to take us towards that lofty goal, and that will start with our 2025-26 program. Designed with a strong emphasis on long-term player growth and skill mastery, this new Player Development Program at WYSA is built upon a philosophy that prioritizes individual player progression over short-term team results.

Our focus is on nurturing a love for the game while systematically developing the technical, tactical, physical, and psychological attributes necessary for long-term success. We believe this program will not only produce better soccer players but also well-rounded individuals.

The 2025-26 program will feature:

• Curriculum designed by our Technical Director
• Coaching support from our Staff Coaches
• The best fields in the Okanagan (CNB grass will be our fall training base, the dome our winter home!)
• Small group training that will maximize individual attention and provide more touches on the ball
• A supportive environment fostering a ‘development first’ growth mindset

* The winter program is split in 2 blocks; Nov-Dec and Jan-Mar. The outdoor spring block is Apr-Jun.

* Details below on all programs

SPRING SEASON!

WESTSIDE YOUTH SOCCER is excited to open registration for the 2026 spring recreational team program.

This is for U7-U18 boys and girls, and all teams will practice one day per week with a game on Saturday. (Information/registration for the U4 and U6 programs will be released February 1)

HERE is the planned spring schedule. However, we don't yet have our field allotments from the City so a final schedule with field location and times will be released March 1.

HERE is the game kit and practice shirt that all recreational spring players will receive.

Spring season starts early April through end of June. There will also be a secondary fall season in Sept/Oct for those interested, with details TBD.

U14-U15 SELECT TEAMS

WYSA is appreciative of the support of DISCOVERY GLASS to sponsor our Select Team program!

This U14-U15 team program starts September 1, and will include a focus on player and team development. Led by our appointed Head Coach for each team, and supported by our TD and Staff Coaches, this program will include individual technical skill development to build player skills within a team environment.

WYSA thanks BIGSTEELBOX for their support of our recreational programs.

The recreational game program is all about free game play, where fun and enjoyment is the only pre-requisite to play. This is for recreational players to simply enjoy the game and the indoor soccer experience. No players in the WYSA Skill Centre or on a WYSA Select team may join the Rec Game Program.

The winter program includes 6 Sundays; Jan 18/25 + Feb 8/22 + Mar 8/15.

Parents can volunteer as a coach each Sunday to get 50% of fees back! All players will receive a Joma shirt, and simply get placed on a team by our staff each Sunday upon arrival. Click here for the program flyer.
