learn-to-traiN program
The Learn-to-Train Program is the third progression in the TOP Soccer Player Pathway and is suitable for older players who would like to further develop their skills. Our age and stage appropriate club curriculum is designed to individually challenge each player and focuses on various aspects of sports across the four corners of Long-Term Player Development (LTPD). Through a combination of skill development activities, physical literacy, and small-sided games, we aim to help participants reach their full potential.
This program follows a Game-Activity-Game (GAG) format, allowing players to transfer skill development into a small-sided game environment. Each group, led by dedicated TOP Soccer coaches, consists of a maximum of 12 players. We prioritize consistency by ensuring that coaches remain with their respective groups, as we recognize the importance of building bonds and understanding each child's development.
Learn-to-Train Program Seasons
Spring Season (April to June)
Fall Season (September to October)
All sessions will take place at Appleby College on either the turf or grass field depending on the time of year. Pending any field closures, other facilities may be used or sessions could be made up on other days of the program.

We are happy to offer friend request opportunities so that friends in the same program may play and enjoy the game together. Our first priority is to create balanced groups, and this will supersede all requests where necessary. Requests are STRICTLY a 1:1 pairing opportunity where players involved must reciprocate requests.
