CWSC Head Coach

Milan Bartosz

Milan Bartosz’s diverse soccer career spans over 4 decades. His playing career began in the Czech Republic with Trinec in the Czech Elite League. This led to being drafted by the number one youth club in the Czech Republic (Banik Ostrava), which in turn, led to being called up to the Czech National U17 team. Upon defection from the Czech Republic in 1969, Milan found home in Calgary, where he played in the Alberta Major Soccer League and later in the Premier Division as well as with the Alberta Provincial Select Teams for over 12 years. He also represented Alberta at the Canada Summer Games and Western Canada Summer Games. At the amateur club level, he played against visiting teams from Germany (Borussia Monchengladbach), Scotland (Hibernian) and Ireland. Milan was also a member of Calgary's first Club National Champions (1973), the Springer Kickers. Calgary's first professional soccer team, the Calgary Boomers, offered Milan a professional contract but he chose to pursue post secondary education instead. more ......

U6-U8 Academy

U6 and U8 players are the future of CWSC. We therefore offer U6 and U8 Academy for those players that are ready for more intensive skills development. All Partner Communities coaches will be asked to nominate players who will attend a try out in mid May.

CMSA Player Technical Development Program:

Player Development

We seek to provide all players, not just premier players, the opportunity to benefit from enhanced technical development with our Head Coaches, Milan Bartosz, Nigel Brattle and Lee Jackson. We offer 3 drop in PLAYER DEVELOPMENTsessions for every player included in your fee, plus, for players wanting more development, we offer the optional Player Development program described above.

Goalie Training

We will again provide drop in GOALIE TRAINING sessions for all keepers with Darrol Graham.

Each keeper can attend three 1 hour sessions included in their fees and premier players can attend an additional four sessions included in their Academy fees.

Fitness Agility and Coordination Training

In addition, this Outdoor season we will be piloting a new pre season FITNESS, AGILITY AND COORDINATION program. Each player will have access to three 1.5 hour sessions while Premier players will have an additional four sessions as part of their Academy fees. If the sessions are well attended, and in high demand, we will run additional sessions during the season, at minimal extra cost, for all players.

The FITNESS program will focus on the Performance Related Fitness components of

Speed, Endurance, Coordination, Agility, Balance.

Academy

Academy will be provided for Premier Teams at extra cost. U12 + Premier teams will participate in 10 sessions with our Head Coaches. U10 teams will participate in 5 sessions. Goalie Academy is provided.

Academy for Competitive A and B teams can be offered on a team basis for extra cost - $150 for 10 sessions or $100 for 5 sessions. Note these are team based sessions so all players on the team need to commit to these sessions.

Club Tournament

Included in fees for CMSA program players is the opportunity to register in our own CLUB TOURNAMENT. Whether it be 1vs1, 2vs2, 3vs3, or 4vs4, club tournaments provide a fun, competitive experience to hone skills, win prizes and to transcend team affiliations. This indoor we held a 1vs1 and 3vs tournament. For outdoor, the club tournament will be June 15-16. Registration, rules and schedule details will be sent out nearer the time.

For all CMSA Player Technical Development Programs, schedules are now posted.

Coach Development

CWSC has set as its goal to have all of its CMSA coaches certified within 2 years. We also seek to support coaches at the U6-U8 level, and at the inter-community (U10-U18) level. For this Outdoor Season we have established an integrated coach development program for coaches of all ages and competitive level. Please see the schedule under Coaches Section - Coach Development. Please check back to the page for any changes to the schedule closer to the advertised dates.

Coaches also receive team-level support with our Head Coaches providing mentoring support during the season.

CWSC will also provide in-house coach development sessions for CMSA coaches with coaches actively participating in drills and skills led by our head Coaches.
