Welcome to Swift Current United and the FORGE FC player development programs. Swift Current United in partnership with JJ Soccer (Moose Jaw), Weyburn Soccer Association and Yorkton United Football Club have developed a player development program that fosters learning, relationships, competition and a player pathway to compete in the highest competition in Saskatchewan, the Provincial Soccer League (PSL).
How does this work and what does this mean for my child?
