| WELCOME TO THE 2010 MINI SEASON
CLICK HERE for information on 2010 FDSA U10 Club Academy Program (CAP).
For those born in 2002 or 2003 (8U)
For those born in 2000 or 2001 (10U)
For those players who are graduating from the Micro program, this will be your first opportunity to play on properly lined fields with fixed nets. For those returning, it will be a chance to hone your skills and further develop your knowledge of the game. As in years past, the Mini soccer program is comprised of two age categories (8U & 10U) and two gender categories (boys and girls). The teams will retain 7 players on the field for the 2010 season – 6 players and 1 goalkeeper – and will continue playing twice a week at various locations throughout the city, including the artificial turf on the UNB campus.
The 11-week season gets underway with the first team event scheduled for Monday, May 31st (8U & 10U boys) and Tuesday, June 1st (8U & 10U girls). If you would like to contribute in any way, please feel free to contact the FDSA office at 451-1342 or by e-mail at fdsa@nb.aibn.com.

Pizza Hut Picture Nights
In past seasons, the picture day was held in conjunction with the Skills and Drills event, however, this year the Skills and Drills event has been removed from the program. Therefore, pictures will be taken on Monday, June 7th and Tuesday, June 8th. Harvey Studios will be on-site to take team and individual pictures of the players. A schedule for team-specific photo times will be created and circulated in advance.
Parents vs Players Game
During the last evening of scheduled play (Wednesday, August 11th & Thursday, August 12th), there will be a Parents vs Players game. This has always been thoroughly enjoyed, so we encourage the parents to start their preparations!!!
Pizza Hut Year-End Jamboree
Conducted to mark the end of the season, distribute medallions and say good-bye, this one-day soccer activity has come to be a staple of the program. This year the jamboree will be held on Saturday, August 14th on various grass fields throughout the city. Rain dates are scheduled during the regular evenings of the following week.
