Development Program (U12AA, U13AA, U15AA, U18AA)

Halifax Dunbrack Soccer Club's Development Program ensures players are organized in age-and-stage appropriate groups, giving them an improved opportunity to grow in their love of the game. Curriculum at this age group continues to help players individually improve with the ball while also developing their understanding of how the game functions with and without the ball. Player assessments take place and players are placed according to their ability and experience levels. Training takes place twice per week with weekly games occurring on the weekend.

For the 2024-2025 Winter season, the U13AA, U15AA and U18AA teams will be returning to Halifax Dunbrack Soccer Club from Inter Halifax Soccer Club.

Development Program Uniforms

Dunbrack Soccer is proud to partner with Joma Canada to supply our players with our club training kit, game jerseys and equipment.

• All Development players must purchase a Joma training kit bundle (training shirt, shorts and socks) if they do not already own a Joma uniform from a previous season.

• The Joma training kit bundle package will be available for purchase on the RAMP registration platform at a cost of $50, and will be available for pickup at our club office.

• Players will wear their training kit for practices, replacing the training shirt with the game jersey for games. They will be charged a jersey deposit with their registration fee, which will be refunded when the game jersey is returned at the end of the season.
