NEW SYSI FORMAT LAUNCHING THIS FALL
Under the new format, players will sign up for league play and training with their zone, and select players will be chosen to take part in the academy.
The primary goal is to launch a successful SYSI academy that will enhance the development of players within SYSI and its zones. This serves not only to help those selected for the academy, but also every player wishing to have competitive matches up to under-19 at the club level.
The introduction of Saskatoon Alliance coincides with the new-look SYSI format, which starting in the 2021-22 winter season will offer an Academy League and City League — replacing Premier, Division 2 and Division 3.
The Academy League provides a higher commitment option for those wishing to train and compete in a development-based, competitive environment.
City League will provide a lower commitment option for multi-sport athletes or players who wish to simply play one game each week, with optional zone practices.
As part of the changes, scholarships and funding will be available for Alliance academy programming for those who otherwise might not be able to participate.
This new pathway will strengthen and grow the zones, allowing participants to stay with their zone for their entire youth playing days, all while offering programming and options most attractive to each individual.
