U17AAA GIRLS OPEN SESSIONS FOR CAPERS ACADEMY

Jan. 11, 2026

CAPERS Academy's NSSL squads return to their Pre-Season training block next week and ambitious young players on the island have the chance to play their way into contention for a slot in our FREE Open Session series.

The U17AAA Girls team is open to players born in 2009 and 2010 and the team trains twice a week on field at the CBU Dome and have strength and conditioning in the CAPERS High Performance Gym before moving outdoors in May. Pre-Season is January-April and then the Competition Phase of NSSL play runs May-August.

PLEASE NOTE: Players/Parents will be given feedback at the end of four sessions over a two-week period on areas of technical development and whether they will be offered a full-time Academy slot. Registration costs and other details would be discussed at that time. If the recommendation is that the players are better suited to remaining at Soccer Cape Breton League level they may be offered an Affiliate Player slot in May which gives them one session a week with the team and call-up rights.

If you want to register your player for a U17AAA Girls Open Session simply email Lisa Lavery on admin@soccercapebreton.com stating player's name, age group you want to train with and birth year.

Soccer Cape Breton © 2026

Soccer Cape Breton is a non-profit organization. As a member of Soccer Nova Scotia, Soccer Cape Breton is the governing body for soccer in the Cape Breton region.

We oversee the clubs within our district and handle things such as scheduling, registration, and refereeing. In the summer, we also run soccer festivals within the clubs for the mini age groups.

In addition, Soccer Cape Breton runs its own programs within the CBHRC complex. The Minis Program runs from fall to spring for children aged 3-10. This program teaches kids the fundamentals of soccer through physical, technical and tactical development, while incorporating fun into every drill!

We also have a Winter Academy for kids aged 11 and up. These players engage in weekly sessions which focus on increasing their technical and tactical abilities.
