Gold Cup 2024 - U12 Development Program | Registration

Welcome to the Gold Cup U12 Development Program Registration!

The Gold Cup Under 12 Development Program is a 6-week program that aims to introduce young children to the fundamentals of soccer in a fun and recreational environment. Through a variety of engaging activities and games, participants will develop basic soccer skills, foster teamwork, and enhance their love for the sport. 

Players will be split by age and skill group, where possible based on registration. We hope this encourages beginner, intermediate and advanced players to participate in the program, playing with others at comparable levels. A standardized curriculum, coaches, and location leads will be on hand to facilitate the sessions.
