2025-2026 Competitive Program

Guelph Soccer is home to the Jr. Gryphons - a player centered development model that is among the best in the province. Guelph Soccer’s hosts Soccer for Life Tryouts within the fall months to provide players the opportunity to have an inclusive playing experience within our organization.

Our tryouts allow for athletes to participate within training sessions where they can experience being coached by our age group coaches, interact with players within their cohort, and experience our overall developmental environment. Our goal is to advance our players to reach their potential.

These sessions allow for families to determine if the competitive pathway at Guelph Soccer is the best environment for their child(ren)’s individual development. It also allows the club to recruit athletes and players beyond technical and tactical competencies, accounting for character traits such as engagement, joy, the will to learn, and more.
