The mini program includes the Tots / U5 / U7 / U9 age groups. This program structured by the Soccer Chaleur club takes place every summer between June and August which ends with the minifest in mid-August. This program is supervised by regional dadministrators with the help of summer students who coach practices for players with the help of volunteer parents.
No tryouts are necessary to participate in this program which can however be limited depending on the number of summer employees and volunteers we have.
The tots group plays once a week on Sundays, while the other groups (U5 / U7 / U9) play twice a week, on Mondays and Wednesdays. If the numbers allow it, a group that will play on Tuesday and Thursday can also be created.
