The United DFC Youth A Program provides a structured, competitive environment for players aged U15-U18 who are committed to developing their skills, understanding the game, and enjoying a positive team experience. Teams in this program compete in the Nova Scotia Soccer League (NSSL) during the outdoor season and are built around development, team culture, and enjoyment of the game.
The A Program is ideal for athletes who want to train and play seriously — whether they're aiming to move into higher performance levels in the future or are seeking a long-term, balanced competitive experience at the A level.
At United DFC, we are committed to providing a fair, consistent, and development-focused player selection process for all athletes participating in our A programming. Our goal is to ensure that every player is placed in an environment where they can thrive, grow, and compete at a level appropriate to their current stage of development.
