Cavalry FC Skills Centre Program
About the Skills Centre Program
Cavalry FC’s Skill Centres are the perfect opportunity for young players aged 8-13 to gain an introduction to the sport while learning basic skills that will be crucial to their development.
Not only does the program grow ability, it also provides a strong community where players can enhance their social and playing abilities with friends who share the same passion for the beautiful game.
We partner with soccer clubs and governing bodies across Alberta to offer Skills Centre programming, with locations currently being offered in Canmore, Central Alberta, and Calgary!
