The Canada Soccer Player Development Program Championships is an annual high-performance youth soccer tournament in Canada.[1] The championship has 4 categories, with a boys' and girls' division at both the U-15 and U-17 level.[1] The purpose of the tournament was to create a higher level of competition for youth soccer teams from Canadian provinces with stronger development programs and standards-based youth soccer leagues. The inaugural tournament in 2023 was made up of teams from Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec.
