Development Centre Introduction Information
Chilliwack FC has partnered up with Trinity Western University Men’s and Women’s Soccer Programs to work with our young and committed players within the development centre program. The TWU Soccer players will look to coach and mentor our young players in their development, while creating an energetic and competitive environment for them to grow their abilities as players.
All players are asked to complete an information application form so our staff can get to know them a bit better before the start of the program. Please HERE to complete the application form.
Who can join the Development Centre Program?
The Development Centre Program has been implemented to attract players that have a passion for playing the game, a drive and desire to improve as a player and are committed to be at every session with an excitement to train. With that being said, the program is open to all players that would like to join. The hope is to have players come in with those characteristics OR join the program, develop those characteristics, and take them back to their team environments.
Chilliwack FC wants this program to be one that players are excited about and understand that they will be coached in a way that helps them further their development.

The development centre program is for players that are truly committed to the game and want to pursue development soccer. Players would train once a week on top of their regular team training to add another session to their schedule. Training sessions will focus a lot of technical abilities, 1v1 activities, 2v2 activities, and mini games. We want players to grow their confidence on the ball through these sessions and really learn to love having the ball at their feet.
