Canada Soccer's Player-Development Program features the PDP U-17 Cup and PDP U-15 Cup for both boys and girls.
Woodbridge SC earned the Boys’ 2025 PDP U-17 Cup, defeating local rivals Vaughan SC 2-0 in the final. Woodbridge SC topped Group A, with a perfect 3-0-0 record, scoring 13 goals and conceding just one. The final match against Vaughan SC was a competitive and passionate affair. Leandro Stalteri opened the scoring, curling a free-kick inside the far post, before Woodbridge would add a second goal late to stave off Vaughan’s comeback effort. With the win, Woodbridge SC secured the PDP U-17 Cup, just hours after the club won gold in the U-15 division.
Leandro Stalteri was named Most Valuable Player of the PDP U-17 Cup. He scored three goals and five assists in four matches.

Canada Soccer’s Player-Development Program features a network of standards-based programs that represent high-level amateur youth soccer in Canada. Participating organisations, both clubs and academies, all meet the requirements for standards-based programming including recognition as an active National Youth Club Licensee.
The new Canada Soccer Player-Development Program Championship strengthens that connection between standards-based programs and showcases their quality of play. Inaugurated in 2024, the competition features clubs from the BC Soccer Premier League, the Alberta Youth Soccer League, the Ontario Player-Development League, and the Québec Youth Soccer Premier League (Première Ligue de Soccer Juvénile du Québec).
