The Chinooks U12-U19 program follows the Canada Soccer Long Term Player Development Learn to Train and Soccer for Life stages.   Players and teams are evaluated and tiered by ability from Tier 1-5.  Teams in Tier 1-3 will train 3 times a week, wheareas Teams in Tier 4 or 5 will train 2 times a week.

Evolution Academy is a mandatory third weekly session for tier 1-3 players and is recommended for all players regardless of their tier.  Academy sessions focus on key technical and tactical skills such as short and long passing, dribbling, finesse and power shots, and more.

Speed, Agility and Quickness (SAQ) sessions with Balsom Sports Performance are included in our U13+ Academy program. Each SAQ session will include a soccer-specific warm up and cool down, alongside drills working on improving strength, movement efficiency, sprint and change of direction mechanics, and importantly endurance work. By encompassing all of these elements into our programming, this ensures players can transfer these physical improvements onto the field, where it matters most.

Video Player Analysis is offered to all families U12 and above. Chinooks FC uses TRACEUP Camera technology to record matches for analysis and development purposes. All matches are recorded for teams enrolled in the TRACEUP subscription.

Players and their families receive individual player highlight packages from every recorded match, allowing players to review their own actions, reflect on performance, and engage with their development on an ongoing basis. Team coaches also receive access to both full-match footage and individual highlights to support alignment between video insights and on-field coaching.
