Our Mission
“Strive for Excellence” pg. 3
Surrey FC values all members of their
player-centered club. Surrey FC strongly
believes that not only is it the club’s
obligation to teach their players the game
of soccer, yet it is imperative to instil life
skills in all players. Soccer is a small part of
life, yet can be an avenue into evolving
friendships, character, respect and
confidence. Surrey FC understands the
importance sport can play in an individual’s
exterior life, and is motivated to not only
produce excellent soccer players, but also
produce excellent human beings.
"Pegasus Values"
Player FirstSurrey FC's facets of
club building , decision making, and
recuritment will always revolve
around the development of the
player first.

love the game of soccer, yet strives to act as an avenue to
healthy living, family values, and success in
all aspects of life.
RespectSurrey FC is an

ALL; teammates, officials, referrees,
coaches, opponents, parents, volunteers
and ourselves.
ExcellenceSurrey FC excellence
pertains to the highest standards of
training and competing while also
excelling our attitudes, character, sportsmanship and
lifestyles.
Club Values
“Strive for Excellence” pg. 4
Surrey FC’s focal goals include creating a club where all players can be lifetime members in various ages, levels, and capacities. Players should be pushed to the next level of our pathway, and should be educated by our coaches on the possibility of advancement to the highest level, if the player is capable of playing elite soccer.
Surrey FC is Player First where we make sure that players are playing in an environment that will best help their development, not help the coach or team win game, or titles.
The club pathway shown expresses the perpetual pathway that SFC would like to engrain in their club future moving forward.

Pegasus Player Pathway
“Strive for Excellence” pg. 5
As coaches at SFC we know we have done a great job developing our
players, when we are able to push these players to the next level.
Measure your coaching proficiency on how many players you
have pushed to the next level, rather than how many games you
have won. Development and winning come hand in hand, and our
goal at SFC is to ensure coaches are instilling the Player First
mentality in their teams. Players always remember the coach
who developed them, and pushed them to that next level.
Pegasus players have the opportunity to start at U5 and move up the pyramid of player development.
Numerous Pegasus players have started as Micro players, and are now earned their way to the top of the pyramid, playing professionally, semi-professionally, or on a scholarship at college/university.
Surrey FC will continue to push players up the pyramid of development (shown below), as well as keep recreational and lifelong players playing, volunteering, and coaching within the club.

Club organization is the foundation of building, succeeding and sustaining goals. Without the right
individuals operating a club, for the right reasons, the club will be destined for failure. Club Executive,
directors, volunteers, coaches, all need to be on the same page in regards to club goals, operations,
motives, ethics, and commitment. Surrey FC will boast a group of members, who are all here for one
reason, that reason being player-first development, and player-centered club building.

“Strive for Excellence” pg. 14
First Aid / Injury Information At most games and practice sessions there is rarely a fully trained doctor, physiotherapist or first
aider present to administer first aid to injured players. Coaches, therefore, are likely to be the first to respond to a player’s injury.
Most injuries that occur will be minor in nature, but some can be major injuries that do not occur often but will require recognition and prompt, appropriate action.
Your role may involve the following tasks:
Informing parents or guardians of the injury. Transporting or arranging for the transportation of an injured player to hospital or the nearest
suitable medical facility. For this reason all coaches are strongly encouraged to take a first aid course organized by one of
the voluntary services (i.e., St. John Ambulance or The Red Cross). Attending such a course and holding a valid certificate will put both the coach and his/her players at ease with the knowledge that their medical interests are not being overlooked. This information is aimed at an introductory level to offer general advice on the “do’s” and “dont’s” and give an insight into the signs and symptoms of several injuries that may be encountered.
Player Safety Essentials
Every coach/team staff for ALL SFC teams is responsible for making sure that the following items are present at ALL practices and games:
Properly stocked first aid kit Medical History Cards for ALL players and ALL team staff (carded coaches and managers) Medical Consent Forms for ALL players and ALL team staff (carded coaches and managers) Emergency Action Plan Identified first aid person (can be a parent)
Coaches are also responsible for making sure that the following items are checked prior to ALL team practices and games:
Equipment is safe for players to use (balls, cones, goals, etc.) Field Condition (free of pot-holes, dangerous objects, dog duty) Weather Conditions (lightning, excessive heat/cold/rain) All players are wearing shin guards All players are dressed appropriately for soccer All players are wearing appropriate footwear All jewelry / hats are removed (expect for religious jewelry and head wear) First Aid Kit is present Medical History Cards are present Medical Consent Forms are present
***If there are any safeties concerns with field conditions please report them to the Club IMMEDIATELY.***
Safety, Injuries/Concussions
“Strive for Excellence” pg. 15
Important Message for Coaches
IF A PLAYER IS INJURED AND YOU ARE UNSURE ABOUT WHAT TO HANDLE THE SITUATION DO NOT TOUCH OR MOVE THE PLAYER. CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY.
Recognition of Injury and Testing
There is a set procedure for „recognizing‟ an injury and the degree of injury. For example minor (1st Degree) or major (3rd Degree) on the field of play. A simple reminder of this procedure is the word “S.A.L.T.A.P.S.” It is easy to miss out aspects of the assessment and to fall into bad habits. Generally, if a player has suffered a major injury (e.g., fracture, dislocation or severe muscle or ligament injury) he/she will not be “rolling about”. They will remain still and will probably tell you something is wrong.
Remember there are five signs of inflammation: heat, swelling, pain, discoloration and loss of function.
The Term “S.A.L.T.A.P.S.” explains the assessment procedure and stands for: S See the initial injury. A Ask for the history. The therapist/coach asks the player what is wrong, where the injury is etc.
He/she does not touch or move the injured part yet. L Look for signs of inflammation, deformity, etc. The therapist/coach looks at the injury site.
This may mean taking the sock down to look at an ankle. You can‟t see through socks, although some therapists seem to think you can. You are looking for signs of inflammation. Do not ask for movement. There may be visible deformity which signifies a major injury. If so, you would not proceed further but call for an ambulance. Emergency Action Plan (EAP).
T Touch for tenderness, pain, swelling, pins & needles, etc. If there is no visible deformity of the at the injury site the injured part can be exposed and gently palpated. The objective is quickly to establish whether there are any signs or symptoms such as:
• Palpable pain/tenderness • Swelling • Loss of skin sensation • Altered skin sensation such as „pins and needles‟ • Any obvious deformity of the part compared to the other limb.
When palpating the part, remember to observe the player‟s face for response (e.g., a grimace caused by discomfort or pain). Also, remember that verbal communication is vital in order to establish whether palpation causes pain, exactly where the problem is, and also the grade or perceived level of injury (see below). No movements are asked for at this stage. You may decide to go no further at this stage and ensure that the player takes no further part in the training session or game.
A Active: ask for active movements from the player. Up to this point, no movements of the injured part have been asked for. It may well be that the injury is of such a level that, having been through the previous testing procedures, it would be unwise to ask for active movements. The player will be asked to carry out all the major movements associated with the nearest joint or joints. While he/she is carrying out these purely active movements, the „therapist‟ notes the range of movement gained in each direction and again checks the injured player’s facial expression, looking out for signs of discomfort or pain.
“Strive for Excellence” pg. 16
P Passive: coach/ therapist moves the part passively. You never move the players injured part unless he/she has demonstrated a good range of active movement. A passive movement is where the therapist performs the desired movement of a body part for the player. The player takes no active part in this at all. With knowledge of how far the player has moved his/her joint or body part actively, the therapist moves the part through this range and a little further, checking all the time for facial reaction. If this causes no undue problem, then the therapist will move on to strength testing. All movements available are tested.
S Strength: therapist resists movements of the injured part by the player. If the player responds well to all of these then functional weight-bearing tests can be carried out. You may decide that the player is not going to continue the game or training session and therefore there is no need for strength testing. The therapist resists the action of muscles working over the injured part. All movements available are tested. Again, the therapist checks for pain or discomfort through facial expression and questioning.
If the player passes through the seven areas covered by the “S.A.L.T.A.P.S.” assessment, he/she is then helped into the standing position for applicable weight-bearing functional tests. For a minor ankle injury, the following progressive activities could be used:
assisted standing standing unaided walking forward unaided jogging on the spot jogging forwards (straight line) jogging backwards (straight line) quarter-pace running half-pace running three-quarter pace running stopping and starting full-pace springing side to side running (i.e., zigzag, figure of eight)
Summary
Before leaping into action, the following guided „on-field‟ recognition testing must always be followed:
Remember that it is very important to realize that in minor injuries where the player will carry on, all stages of the assessment will be carried out. However, in moderate to severe injuries, the assessment will not be completed as the coach/therapist realizes that the signs and symptoms are substantial and that to continue would cause further injury.
As the grade of injury rises, so do the signs and symptoms of injury. At some point a decision will be needed: is a player fit to carry on? Sometimes this is a clear cut decision, but sometimes it is not so clear. Be guided by what you see, touch, feel and what the player‟s active movement state is.
Never stray from the ““S.A.L.T.A.P.S.” testing routine. Never continue progression through the “S.A.L.T.A.P.S.” testing routine when a player‟s signs
and symptoms, lack of movement or unwillingness to move the affected part indicates termination at the point reached.
“Strive for Excellence” pg. 17
Head Injuries / Concussions
What is a concussion?
• A concussion is a brain injury that affects the way you think and remember things for a short time. It can cause many symptoms, but they can’t be seen on x-rays or computed tomography (CT) scans.
What causes a concussion?
• Any blow to the head, face or neck, or somewhere else on the body that causes a sudden jarring of the head may cause a concussion, such as being hit in the head with a ball or being checked into the boards in hockey.
What are the symptoms and signs of concussion?
• A person does not need to be knocked out (lose consciousness or pass out) to have had a concussion.
• Some of the problems that may happen with a concussion are shown in Table 1.
What should you do if a child gets a concussion?
• The child should stop playing the sport right away. Do not leave him alone. A doctor should see him as soon as possible that day. If a child is knocked out, call an ambulance to go to a hospital immediately. Do not move the child or remove sport equipment, such as a helmet. Wait for the paramedics to arrive.
How long will it take to get better?
• The signs and symptoms of concussion often last for seven to 10 days but may last much longer. In some cases, children may take many weeks or months to heal. A child who has had a concussion before may take longer to heal.
How is a concussion treated?
• The most important treatment for a concussion is rest. That means not exercising, bike riding, play wrestling with family or friends, playing video games or working on the computer. Children may have to stay home from school because schoolwork may make their symptoms worse. Children who go back to school or resume activities before they are completely better are more likely to get worse and to have symptoms longer. Even though it is very hard for an active child to rest, this is the most important step. Once a child is completely better at rest, he can start a gradual increase in his activities (see below). It is important to see a doctor before returning to activity to ensure that he is completely better.
When can children return to school after a concussion?
• Sometimes children who have a concussion find it hard to concentrate in school, and may get a worse headache or feel sick to their stomach if they try to learn. Children should stay home from school if their symptoms get worse while they are in class. Once they feel better, they can try going back to school for half days at first. If they are okay with that, then they may go back full time.
When can a child return to a sport after a concussion?
“Strive for Excellence” pg. 18
• Children should not go back to sports if they have any concussion symptoms or signs. They must rest until they are completely back to normal. After they have been back to normal and have been seen by a doctor, they can then go through these steps to gradually increase activity:
Complete rest until all symptoms have gotten better. Light exercise, such as walking or stationary cycling, for 10 min to 15 min. Try a sport-specific activity (such as skating in hockey or running in soccer) for 20 min to 30 min. Move to „on field‟ practice, such as ball drills, shooting drills and other activities with no contact (for
example, no checking and no heading the ball). Once cleared by a doctor, move to „on field‟ practice with body contact before Game play.
Note: Each step must take at least one day. If a child has any symptoms of a concussion (headache or feeling sick to the stomach) that come back during the activity, he should stop the activity immediately and rest for 24 h to 48 h. The child should be seen by a doctor and cleared before starting the stepwise plan again.
When should a child go to a doctor?
• Every child who gets a head injury should be seen by a doctor as soon as possible. A child who has been diagnosed with a concussion should see a doctor immediately if symptoms get worse, such as:
being more confused; worsening of a headache; vomiting more than once; not waking up; having trouble walking; experiencing a seizure; or Behaving strangely. • Problems caused by a head injury can get worse later that day or night. A child should not be left
alone and should be checked on through the night. • If there are any concerns about a child’s breathing or sleep, wake her up. Otherwise, let her sleep. If
she seems to be getting worse, see a doctor immediately. No child should go back to a sport until they have been cleared to do so by a doctor

What is the Retreat Line?
The retreat line a designated line on the field that the defending team must start behind when the oppositions team is taking a goal kick. Who is using the Retreat Line? BC Soccer Premier League has adopted this rule into their U13 intake level of play. Prince George YSA and the Lower Island YSA have also passed this as a rule up to U12 age of play. Who will be using the Retreat Line? U6-U10 Pegasus teams will require
MANDATORY use the retreat line in
their in house games. PDS, U11 and
U12 teams will also start to use the
retreat line within the SMSA, as well
as South District.
Retreat Line Rules Benefits Technical/Tactical Rules Team Benefits Player Benefits 1. On a Goal Kick the defending team moves behind the retreat line forming a good compact team shape. 2. The defending team can only move across the retreat line to pressure the ball once the player receiving the goal kick has taken their 1st touch. 3. This rule only applies on goal kicks, when the goalkeeper has possession of the ball either in hand, or when receiving a back pass from a team mate normal rules apply 4. U6 - 10 games: Retreat line = halfway line 5. U11 – 12 games: Retreat line = 3rd of the field
• to enhance the development of the game •Stay away from the Kick and Chase style of soccer
encourage build up play through the 3rds,
• Build confidence of defenders building out of the back develop more confidence in possession of the ball • create realism in defending a goal kick (no pressure on the ball team drops) • develop more flow within the game on Goal Kicks
• Encouraged teams to build up from the back on Goal Kicks and play through the thirds • Develops confidence in the goalkeepers’ ability to distribute the ball • Player receiving pass has more time to make a decision, • Increases chance for team to maintain possession • Game flow is improved as the rule allows teams to progress up the field keeping possession of the ball • GK can be more composed when taking goal kick, as they do not have to deal with an immediate shot if mis-kicking and/or when losing possession

Surrey FC understands that U10 – U12 is indeed is the “golden age of learning” in the player
development pathway of a soccer player. The U10 – U12 age groups will be termed the development
age groups, as these are the ages where a majority of foundation building will happen. Pegasus
Development program will focus on a progression of skill development, speed, flexibility, and technical
repetition. The ages in this age are the optimal years for learning traits such as decision making, spatial
game awareness, combination play, imagination, and creativity. This stage must also incorporate a fun
and challenging environment, all the while training ethics and discipline.
Surrey FC will focus on providing a highly challenging, innovative, instructive and passionate program
during this sensitive age of learning. The Pegasus Development program will be the vehicle to drive
players to their maximum potential of success within the player development pathway of the beautiful
game.

Surrey FC strongly believes that the strength of player development is directly linked to those
who influence the players; the coaches are the foundation. Coaches are instructors, teachers,
mentors and role models, who have the responsibility to cater to the soccer needs of the player
first. Coaches should have unified goals, objectives, and programs, as coaches should all be
coaching for the players.
Developing coaches through certification, mentorship, and experiential learning opportunities
will integrate the theoretical and practical aspects of coaching at Surrey FC. Coaches will be
urged to complete the necessary certification levels that are relative to what level of soccer
they will be coaching in the coming year. Surrey FC will be making it mandatory for coaches to
have minimal requirements in regards to certification by
2017/2018.

Canadian Soccer Association Wellness to World Cup Long Term Player Development Pathway (LTPD)
As coaches, teachers, administrators and parents, we
need to look at the big picture for Canadian soccer.
We want to develop “star” players who can play on the
big stage, but we also want to encourage recreational
players who can benefit from the health aspects of
soccer and give back to the game for years to come as
coaches, officials, and administrators.
Long-Term Player Development (LTPD) is the Canadian Soccer Association’s pathway to success on both
fronts. LTPD is a player-centred approach that provides guidelines for correct training, competition, and
recovery based on scientific principles of human development and athlete training, combined with the
knowledge of expert coaches.
Player-centred means we respect the developmental needs of our players first and foremost. We
ensure that our young players have fun while they learn so they want to continue playing. It also means
we provide challenging opportunities for special talents so they can develop their abilities and pursue
excellence. All of these needs are addressed in the seven stages of LTPD.
Long Term Player Development
“Strive for Excellence” pg. 36
Our Active start program is for young players, under the age of 5 who want to get an active
start into sports. Our active start program is runs in a 10 week cycle, September – November,
and January – March. The program runs 1x per week, for 1 hour.
The curriculum of the active start Program will be based around teaching players the active start of soccer and team play in a fun and non-threatening environment. The curriculum is designed to meet the needs of Active Start (Stage 1) of the CSA’s Long Term Player Development Pathway.
U5 First Kicks Program
“Strive for Excellence” pg. 37
“Strive for Excellence” pg. 38
The Under 6 to Under 8 age groups will participate in a mix of development sessions and game days from September to December and January until March, concluding with the SFC Mini Jamboree. Games and development sessions will be scheduled on the same time and same day each week and will be conducted on the artificial turf field at Newton Athletic Park.
All teams will practice once – two times per week with their team coach in a gymnasium. SFC Staff coaches will run bi-weekly sessions with our U6 and U7 teams, working off a curriculum and session planning from club technical director.
The curriculum of the Micro Development Program will be based around teaching players the FUN-damentals of soccer and team play in a fun and non-threatening environment. The curriculum is designed to meet the needs of Fundamentals (Stage 2) of the CSA’s Long Term Player Development Pathway.
The development sessions will be run off of a set curriculum that will be distributed to the team coaches prior to the commencement of the program. Club Staff Coaches will work with the team coaches on the delivery of the program and will also act as a mentor and resource for the team coaches.
For game weeks, teams will be scheduled to play against another team. Upon arrival at the field, each team will go to a pre-determined field and warm up under the guidance of their team coach. The players will then be divided into two teams of 5-6 players and will play against their assigned opponent (2 games).
Under 6 – U8 teams will be formed with a minimum of 10 players per team and a maximum of 12 players per team. This will allow for team coaches to run practice sessions that are productive and active and will also help the club to acquire and retain coaches for all of our mini teams.
Each age group will be issued the same color uniform that is specific to their age group only. Colored bibs will be used to divide teams on game days and developmental sessions. Coaches will be required to cooperate with each other to make this work. Standings, results and statistics will not be kept, nor emphasized in any way at this age
Micro Development Program Training/Learning Objectives
Develop ABC’s (agility, balance and coordination
Players are confident with the ball at their feet(dribbling, controlling and passing)
Players are able to competently pass and receive the ball
Players ENJOY playing the game in a FUN and CHALLENGING environment

Surrey FC has deemed this to be our focal age group where we will be committing a large proportion of
our technical programming to these valuable ages. We will be working very closely with all of our U8-
U12 teams, in a variety of different ways.
Teams will train one to two times per week on field with their team coach, and will play one game per
week on the weekend. Games for U9 and U10 will take part in in house club games, as well as
interlocking games with partner clubs in the region. Games for U11 and U12 will all be district run
games, playing teams from our local district league.
All U8 and U9 teams will have a monthly training session with a SFC staff coach.
PDS Program Our top teams at U8 – U10 will play in a Prospect Development Series program (PDS), and interlocking program that includes a variety of the clubs in our regional district. There will be no player selection process at this age, yet full teams will be forwarded to the PDS program by our Technical Director. Starts September 19/20. U11 and U12 players will undergo a more formal evaluation system. In addition to the ongoing
assessment system, players will also need to attend an evaluation camp, where they will be placed on
teams that are tiered and then play in district leagues; Surrey Metro Soccer Association (boys) or South
District (Girls).
U10 – U12 Development 1 teams will all have an assigned staff coach, who is responsible for running 1
session weekly, as well as a monthly report which includes: game assessment, coach assessment, and
team assessment.
Players are urged to take part in Club Academy programs that will help develop our players, and create
individual opportunities for players. U8 – U12 is an age where technical training should be a major phase
of training.

In our divisional programs, that stem from our U11 and U12 programs, include players from U13-U18.
Players are assessed and placed on teams that best suit their level of development. Premier (BCSPL
Partner), Metro Select, Gold, and House are our divisional stages of development. Premier league and
Metro Select is a full year program, including travel programs, periodized training, and league play. Gold
and house seasons run from September to December, and January to March. BCSPL and Metro Players
will also take part in Pegasus Futsal program in the winter months.
At this stage of development, high performance groups (Professional, National, Provincial, and Premier)
look to recruit or scout talented youth players. All parties must be sensitive to recognizing and
protecting the long-term interest of the players. In this stage, it is crucial to have models in place that
are “Player Centered”. As young adults, this age group develops by using more demanding skill and
physical training loads, and players must learn to be mentally strong, committed and tactically aware.
This stage focuses on developing our elite, high performance players and coaches. Alongside heavy
involvement from the Technical Director, MSL Coaches, and SFC Staff coaches, will all provide services to
our players at this stage.
The U13 -18 divisional teams will be able to take advantage of the Pegasus Team Training Academy,
where Staff coaches will come and work with teams and look to develop players to reach their next
potential level of development. Teams are urged to take part in the team training academy, in order to
push their players to the next level, and in turn take their teams to the next level as well.
Players are urged at this level to take part in Club Academy programs to further their development and
to help them reach their goals of getting to the next level. Our goals as a technical department, are to
push players up the Player Pathway.
Divisional players are able to play at various levels of play from recreational soccer to the Premier
League. Pegasus goal is to provide excellent resources to all players, and help players and teams reach
short and long term goals of development, through our extensive partnerships, training, academies, and
player pathways.
