About the Junior Pandas Soccer Program:The University of Alberta Pandas Soccer Program is pleased to offer Y3 the Junior Pandas Soccer Program. This High Performance Player Development Opportunity is geared toward advanced players entering Grades 10 to 12 & University Players as of September 2017.The mission of the Junior Pandas Soccer Program is to develop female athletes to be future leaders in women’s soccer. We envision each leader to be an athlete who excels at the USports (formerly the Canadian Interuniversity Sport/CIS) level of soccer. While a high level of performance provincially and nationally is expected of our athletes, excellence is measured by our athletes’ long-term development rather than by their record of wins and losses. The final programming is dynamic and will be determined as summer personnel is confirmed.Source: http://www.pandasoccer.ca/junior-pandas-soccer-progra/2017-junior-pandas-springsu.html
