The West Carleton Soccer Club has a Youth Development Division known as the West Carleton Talons. The Talons are a growing division of the club. Teams for each season are formed through an assessment (U9-U12)/tryout (U13-U15) process in late winter and/or early spring.

The rationale behind the development (formerly known as competitive) division is twofold. Firstly, those players who have already developed strong footwork and ball skills and have traditionally dominated during the games are now able to play at an elevated level. Secondly, by moving these players out of the house league system, it allows house league players who are still developing their skills more time with the ball, causing them to gain more confidence and skills as well. The aim is to allow each child to develop at their own pace in the program currently best suited to their needs.

The Talons play in the East Region Soccer League (ERSL), which includes teams from Clubs in the greater Ottawa Region.  Each pool in which the Talons compete will consist of a small subset of these clubs. Please note that not every club enters teams at every age group.

For the 2018 season the Talons are fielding the following teams:

This cost includes the full uniform. We aim to keep the cost as low as possible making our development/competitive soccer rate one of the most affordable in the league.
