Provincial Screening Competition

The Provincial Screening Competition is an annual Provincial Xcel Talent Identification event for male and female players who are eligible for the U14, U15, U16 and U17 Provincial Xcel Teams.  Dates for the events are communicated annually but are typically held on weekends within March and/or April.

Players who are invited and compete at the PSC have been scouted and detected from within the OPDL, League1 Ontario and specific players who are identified through Talent on Location Day (ToLD) Recommendation Process.

The top players who have been scouted and detected are then invited to participate in the PSC.  The event is run in the form of 11v11 matches where players are divided into 4 teams and play multiple matches within their age and gender over the course of the event.  Players identified in the PSC will be invited to attend their respective Provincial Xcel Preparation Weekends and potentially selected to Provincial Xcel Teams.
