Registration goes live on December 06, 2024!

This program is most suitable for the age group 14-18yrs. The Winter season runs from January to March, and includes practices, scrimmages, and tournaments.

Our competitive programming for Winter 2025 includes:

• U19 Advanced: This program is for players who have at least one year of club experience (or equivalent) and are looking to develop their skills in a competitive but fun environment. Given sufficient registrations and availability, we can take an Open and/or Women’s team to the Emerald City Challenge (previously Seven Hills) in Seattle, WA on 1st & 2nd March 2025 (see here for the information about the 2025 edition)
   

If registration numbers exceed the maximum size of the travelling squad (24 players for each Open & Women) then the players will be selected through a tryout process which will be communicated by the Canyon team to the registrants.

In case you are unable to make it to the tournament but still would like to practice with the team, then please reach out to us at canyon@vul.ca with your details.
