Spruce Grove Saints’ Premier Soccer Program
Is your child passionate about soccer?
Would they like to play in a competitive environment and further develop their soccer skills?
Our premier teams are designed for players who want to challenge themselves.
Premier teams consist of higher-skilled (physically and mentally) players who are committed and have the drive to develop their skills in a highly competitive environment. Generally, premier teams start practicing a few weeks earlier than community teams.
Depending on their age group and their league standing at the end of regular season, their season could last 4-6 weeks longer then our In-House or Community programs. Most of our premier teams also play in two or more tournaments during the season. There may be costs, in addition to registration fees, that teams may ask for to participate in tournaments and/or training. Specific information for a team will be shared by team officials of each individual team and then voted on by the team.
Premier teams are formed on the basis of tryouts – not all who try out are guaranteed a spot on a team.
For more information, please contact the appropriate premier director at Clubboys@saintsfc.ca or

Premier Teams U9 – U19
Players will participate in motivating practices and games to advance their technical and practical skills in a fun and structured environment. Some examples of increased individual development as part of the premier program – increasing dribbling skills, using all parts of the foot, changing direction, improving in passing, positioning on the pitch, team communication, etc. The team environment emphasizes fun, skill and team development. Coaches will be provided with opportunities for coaching development.
Part of each premier player’s fees is allocated towards their team’s technical budget. This budget is used to book extra field time or sessions with our specialized vendors in a multitude of different areas, including technical training, strength and conditioning, nutrition, and sports and performance psychology. Team officials tailor a team’s tech needs based on their players’ needs.
