CDC 1 (Club Development Center - Level 1)
This program is for athletes who are new to soccer and wish to commit once a week. The goal is to develop basic technical skills in a local, structured environment supervised by the club.

This program is designed for athletes with some prior experience in the game. It includes two activities per week, one of which is a game in the local CDSO league (5 vs 5). This level allows players to continue their development while gaining experience in local regional competition.

This program is for athletes who want to increase their involvement, with three activities per week, including a game in the local CDSO league (7 vs 7). It is designed for athletes motivated to progress in a structured regional environment.

Integration into the programs is done through registration. However, in accordance with Soccer Québec's recommendations, the AS Gatineau category manager reserves the right to adjust the composition of groups/teams to promote the optimal development of athletes.

In a CDC setting, athletes train together.
Subgroups are formed to maximize each athlete's development. A weekly rotation of subgroups is implemented to allow all athletes to benefit from each coach's expertise.

A continuous talent identification process will be carried out during training sessions in order to identify the club's potential.

Note that the teams are not fixed/permanent: adjustments and movements of athletes from one group or team to another are possible throughout the season, depending on the athletes' progress and needs.
