Skill Focused
Development Driven

Evaluations are used to divide players to ensure optimal competition.
CYPL does not have cuts, and will always place a player in a position where development is the primary objective. If blowouts occur, we take note and adjust accordingly. If a Division does not have enough players to run, alternative program options will be provided.
