PDL Team Formations


Comox Valley United Soccer Club will no longer be holding formal ‘tryouts/evaluations/ placements’ for our PDL Competitive teams.


CVUSC believes all players should play at the level that they desire to play (Valley Youth Soccer League (VYSL) or Competitive.  Key differences between VYSL and Competitive streams are commitment level and mindset.  CVUSC wants to include and service as many players as possible within our programming.  Not holding tryouts/evaluations for the PDL teams reduces player stress and anxiety.  CVUSC Technical Staff and Coaches are constantly monitoring and evaluating players in their own environment (VYSL or Competitive). 

Player registers for their preferred stream (VYSL or Competitive)


  • PDL registration period occurs from mid-April to mid-May

  • Fall VYSL registration period occurs from mid-June to end of July

Once registration closes players are organized on teams by CVUSC Technical Staff with consultation of Club Coaches.  Teams will be formed to best to ensure everyone desiring to play has a team. 


CVUSC believes players will stay in soccer and improve if they are in the proper environment.  At times some players may not be technically, socially, or physically ready to play on a PDL team.  Players may be asked to play in the Valley Youth Soccer League for a period to develop the skill set for them to be successful at the PDL level.  


CVUSC also believes players are part of the club, not individual teams.  Player movement between teams is a large part of player development.  Players in the VYSL will be called on to train and play with the PDL teams.  Players wanting to play with the PDL team who are asked to develop in the VYSL will have the opportunity to train in the PDL.  


Super 8's U12 (8v8 Game Format) and Nines U13 (9v9 Game Format) Team Numbers


Pacific Development League Part 1 Phases 1 and 2. 2-4 teams per division

There will be multiple teams per Division.  For example, 28 U12 players and 26 U13 players would be formed into two U12 teams of 14 and two U13 Teams of 13.

Each team will be formed using a flexible approach, understanding the identification and placement of players in these ages is tough due to many children still being in the childhood stage of their development


However, each individual competency will still form a vital tool in placing players and forming our teams.


The guiding principle when forming teams is for a majority of players to play in their age group. 


Secondary is for a younger player to be moved permanently to the older team.  Any players permanently moved will be determined by the Technical Staff and only offered to players who will be successful playing for the older team. 


Younger children, those in U11, who have shown high potential/high performance & full commitment in previous programming will only be considered - the club’s staff will reach out directly to those identified through UDP (ACADEMY) & Valley Youth Soccer League (VYSL) programming. 


Players will train collectively for the pre-season and first few weeks into the season.  Players will be placed in groups, over these weeks, the technical team and team coaches will move players between the groups until teams are formed.

 

Players may be required to move between teams if the competitive balance is not correct.  


However, all players in each Division will train together albeit in separate groups thus carpooling, socializing with friends can take place. 


Players may be asked to occasionally play with an older team. For example, an U12 player playing for the U13 team or an U13 player playing for the U14 team.

 

Primary goal for playing up will be to form player pools.  Identified players in the younger age groups who will be called on to play for the older teams so more players have the opportunity.  Pooled players must be willing to have their game day schedule changed on short notice. 


CVUSC supports children playing multi-sport and does not want them to have to choose until they really need or want to.  Players though are expected to participate for the duration of both Phases and offer a minimum of 50% to the soccer program.  Please email our staff so a tailored plan can be developed to support participation and commitment to soccer. 


CVUSC believes everyone be afforded the opportunity at U12 and U13 to play if they desire.  Soccer is a late developing sport and all players have yet to develop to their full potential.  Many will be developmentally behind their peers.  Many factors determine the players current ability; experience, physical and cognitive development are a few factors.  CVUSC also recognizes the players relative ability to their peers will also determine their enjoyment and continuing with soccer.  Players may be asked to play in the VYSL.  Train and play with their VYSL team while continuing to train weekly with the “Super 8” or “Nine’s” program. Participation in the UDP is highly encouraged.  


U12 and U13 Nine’s do not play beyond March.  Players wanting to continue with soccer can register to play in the Vally Youth Soccer League


Elevens's U14 to U18 (11v11 Game Format)

1 Team per division with a possibility of a second team if registration supports an additional team.

There will be at least one team per division (birth year).  Players, when possible, will play within their division (birth year).

Teams will be formed with the goal of having a minimum of 16 players. Maximum of 20 (League maximum).

Players may be required to play on a non-birth year team, so all players have a place to play, and the club has viable teams.  Players may play on teams with older and or younger players.  

Players may be asked to play on older teams if a birth year’s registration exceeds the league roster maximum of 20.  Players moved permanently to the older team will be determined by the CVUSC Technical Staff in consultation with the Team Coaches.  Any players permanently moved are those who the Technical Staff determine will be successful playing for the older team.

CVUSC supports children playing multi-sport and does not want them to have to choose until they really need or want to.  Players though are expected to participate for the duration of both Phases and offer a minimum of 50% to the soccer program.  Please email our staff so a tailored plan can be developed to support participation and commitment to soccer.
