BCSA's District Development Centre Program
The British Columbia Soccer Associations District Development Centre Program was announced in September 2004. This program has been developed to establish a Provincial wide Development strategy as it pertains to Players, Coaches and Referees participating in the game of soccer within BC.
As the program enters the 3rd year of existence, it continues to assist in the establishment of a responsible, stable, and continual development process for Players, Coaches and Referees within British Columbia.
With this in mind, the DDC Program is pleased to announce the establishment of Regional Evaluation Camps as part of this years 1st (September) program visit. These regional evaluation camps will act as preliminary evaluations for potential participation within the Provincial Teams Program Evaluation Camp process and potential selection to Regional Programming (Y League). In addition, this will provide an opportunity to promote the necessity for players to participate in DDC programming with our regional partners throughout the province.
