Player Groupings
Our goal at 1UP is to ensure every player receives a positive training environment that is best suited for their individual development. As per Canada Soccer Guidelines, player groupings may change from day to day. Please note that it is impossible to get the groupings 100% perfect, but like always, we try our best!
