CAPERS Academy U15AAA Girls midfielder Norah MacDonald jets out to Toronto tomorrow (Tuesday) for the latest test in her soccer development.

Our gifted CAPERS teenager is part of the Team Nova Scotia EXCEL squad who are travelling to Ontario for four games this week with the target of showcasing the players to professional environments.

The blockbuster game for the girls sees them tackle the National Development Centre 2011s and they have three other elite challenges lined up.

Regional Director of Soccer Development Iain King said: "Norah's dedication to her craft saw her in the Dome on Saturday morning doing a 1-2-1 session before she makes this trip as she had missed some training hours during exam week and wanted to ensure she is at her sharpest.

"We look forward to seeing her flourish in these games in Ontario as she continues to represent the island with pride. With CBU CAPERS Men's Head Coach Deano Morley now there to guide Norah with the Academy U15s this season she is in a terrific place to learn on the next steps in her journey."

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.
